| The kit shown below is based on the use of the Fused Quarts Tube system commonly called an encased element. |
The materials listed below can be purchased from Joppa Glassworks, Inc. I hope by offering them that you will have an easier job constructing your new mailbox kiln. Maybe it will make your creative job a little easier. You might also want to toss into the shopping cart a new A Glassblower's Companion to help you with your kiln building skills. To order these items please call Dudley at 603-456-3569. Please look over our other material on the mailbox kiln before ordering so you will be fully informed. |

Please Note: this is not a complete list of all the items needed to manufacture the Mailbox Kiln. But it is all the items we sell that are appropriate to the cause. You will need a variety of parts. Go to the main Mailbox Kiln Page and start browsing and making your own list of goodies. It goes something like this: Mailbox, Fiberfrax, switch, stuff from Joppa, electric wire, utility warning light, 4" electrical boxes, some metal to make the legs out of, a little bit of 22 ga sheet metal to make the tray and door from, pyrometer (from Sheffield), grounded wire and plug, wire nuts, electric solder, electric tape, and maybe something else... lets see.
