I built a forge for my son last year out of an old water heater (picture attached). I was looking for a used kiln but couldn't find one at a reasonable price so I decided to build one. One question I have is, how frequent do the element pins need to be? Do I need one every 1" or 5"? Is there a rule of thumb on this?
I'm just about ready to start welding up the frame to hold the kiln. I will wrap it with 1/2" insulation and then sheet metal over that.
