Have you done anything yet? You don't need a kiln while you're practicing and getting down the basics. That will give you time to save up. Also, keep an eye on Craigslist.

Welcome to LE,

Use the search button, there has been a lot of equipment including kilns for sale on the East Coast lately.

We certainly don't want a death on our hands. Keep an eye on the Garage Sale here, as well. Welcome to LE!! (BTW, where in SC are you?)

If you are completely new then please read up on the safety topics including ventilation, proper eye protection, flashback arrestor's, and proper torch lighting and configuration.

You're in York? I think Chillrelaxglass is in York, too. His real name is Chase.

Death trap as in "I need one of those, and two lbs of that...?"

Mine is most definitely a death trap. I've got sh*t everywhere, lol, but my ventilation works beautifully!

welcome to the addiction. You are in big trouble buddy, this is not a cheap hobby and pretty hard to turn a profit, but seriously addicting. Might need to shower some glassy pretties on your wife to soften her up for the upcoming bills

how to on the cheap
http://www.lampworketc.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=192290

frugal tips
http://www.lampworketc.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=155691

do a search on "frugal", quite a few great threads come up with all kinds of ideas for tools, photo set ups, etc. Also, there is a free tutorial section on the site.

and Shawnette is the Queen of DIY and finding stuff on the cheap.
