I already had a wheel in storage so that helped. I bought a beat up used kiln with good brick for 225.00 cut a hole in the bottom and top. I used a 1 lb coffee can to measure. You can see my [Kilns here](https://imgur.com/MGsMEzT).  I bought an electric to [gas conversion kit](http://www.axner.com/summitgv-14conversionkitshipsmfg.aspx) and [fire](https://www.instagram.com/p/BfW7BKCFDAX/?taken-by=wayman29) in my drive with two 20lb propane canisters.  If you don't want to bother with the kit go buy a [weed burner and shoot it into the kiln](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QvVPBTEaubo).  I have been firing like this for the last two years and have [sold pots all over the world](https://imgur.com/LVjp5uU). You can get a high pressure gas regulator from Mr. Heater for 25.00  Buy your [clay](https://www.amazon.com/Amaco-45047J-High-Fire-Moist-Stoneware/dp/B0044S97BW) and glaze off amazon prime to save on shipping charges. You can also save money by hand mixing your own glazes. Now at least you can hand build!  After that look for a use wheel someplace.  I do all of this from my [small basement](https://imgur.com/EgyFQs5).  If you got question let me know.\r\n\r\nEdit:  Be sure to follow good safety practices as glaze mixing and clay dust can be harmful.  Also see you state and local regulations for outside firings depending on where you live.  Never trust gas.","subreddit_name":"Ceramics","author":"Pyrometer2232"}]}
