Hey I am having problems setting up my electric kiln, can someone help me out please, I am using REXC100 PID, 2500W heating element, SSR 40 0-32DCV and a LED transformer 20-40DCV....it gets going for a few minutes but then the heating elements stop heating can someone help me please
@@leonbarnes1402 because of the high surface resistance the risk is very low, however a switch of that kind is sure to tank the oven performance when it most needs it
@@AlessioSangalli id have thought the only time you would open the door is when your adding knives or removing them. you wouldnt need to keep opening it mid heat treat as you bake them for a set time.
Beautiful work. You brought together several disciplines, welding, sheet metal work, electrical, control systems, kiln knowledge; and executed them all masterfully. Great job.
A couple TIPS; 1. Try to use a thermometer that is made out of steel. Ceramic thermometers tend to break faster. And when they are exposed to high heat, they don’t measure as well. 2. Use more insulation. Preferably high heat ceramic wool. Now your oven needs to work longer to get to a certain temp. Best combination is using those white high heat bricks and ceramic wool. Plenty of it. But for the rest, very nice build!
Have you noticed all the epic builds on YT comes from normal folks like this and not the ones with thousands of dollars of equipment in a seperate shop with bubinga wood cabinets. This dude is in his slippers at night with hand tools. Awesome work
This is one of the best builds of something I've watched. I liked your precision cutting/fitting/welding... the unit looks so pro. Thanks for the inspiration.
You are a terrific fabricator, the world could use more like you. It's an acquired skill not being picked up by as many younger folk with bright minds like yourself. Keep making the most of your available resources, and I hope you enjoy a long, productive life's journey - Great work!
That was a beautiful build! Any time I see "DIY" in a video title, I expect things to look DIY. This looks like a quality product, and the details in the video were perfect. Quality content, right here!
Man are you serious? That's like some world class piece of equipment you just built! I could probably duplicate it, but I get lost in the electrics and electronics department. Incredible job, incredible video!
@@brandysigmon9066 indeed I believe I could if I knew how to wire the electronics, but but without having specific guidance it wouldn't matter how much I took my time, I would not be able to do it properly. I would require a step by step visual video or live guide because I do not understand electronic and wiring schematics that are in printed diagram form, unless they are very specific and explanatory and they rarely are easy to understand unless you are well versed in these things to begin with. But thanks you for the vote of confidence 🙂
Jamal69 Jackson I’m the same way, I can build just about anything in the world, but when it comes to wiring and electronics I am screwed. I don’t understand electrical schematics at all unless they’re written in crayon and explained to me like I’m a 3 year and then I’m still at a loss!!!
@@randomguyfromtexas1185 lol, then we understand each other. But yeah man, I would need a course in understanding wiring schematics for me to ever decipher them.
Thank you very much, with the video and list of materials I will be able to build mine, it will be 1/3 the value of a similar industrialized equipment, greetings and thanks from this young Brazilian blacksmith.
Thanks AV that was at a totally different level, From the design to the build, execution to the detailing, right down to the vid itself brilliant, thanks so much. Loved it all.
SHOW OFF👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻great job!!!!!!!! I usually can’t sit and watch videos from start to finish, but I watched every second of this one and some spots I rewound and watched some parts multiple times. Seriously, what a fantastic job!!!!
Very nice workmanship! I’ve got one that looks very similar, but is about 50 years old (I upgraded it with a PID controller / solid state relay about 10 years ago). Mine is ready for new fire brick, and a new steel shell. I’m going to put a slab of steel in the bottom of mine so that the steel’s thermal mass maintains even temperature. These ovens tend to fluctuate a bit, especially when opening and closing the door. Again, outstanding workmanship and thank you for sharing this video.
@@mrsensable it's that thing we do where the brand name become the generic name. A good example is the Jacuzzi; that's a generic name for a hot tub, but also a brand of hot tub. The two words are interchangeable. That is an interesting point though.
Wow, 1000 degrees from a 13a wall plug! The one at my work would just about get up to 500 and that used a 32a circuit. If I try making my own gears I'll definitely build one of these! Thanks for the video! It's going in my favourites!
That was amazing, well done, love your attention to detail not only does the kiln look fantastic , your video was really well constructed and that’s evident in the absolute absents of words….. really well done , you should be very proud of your skills👍
I've been subscribed for awhile and just had to say thank you for the brilliant work, beautiful knives, and other builds. Truly a pleasure to watch and most definitely inspirational. Keep up the great work. Last but not least I love this build. It's professional grade.
I have never seen a 240v PID before.....I don't know why, but I always run mine on 12V. If I had to give a reason, I'd say it's that I want to limit high voltage AC to as few places as possible, where I know that 12VDC won't kill me if I touch the wrong thing. I do really appreciate seeing which wire you used as a heating element.
My hat is off to you. Very professional looking. I just ain't got the wattage between the ears to figure this stuff out. If you ever think of doing a step by step set of instructions for purchase, let us know. And if you need a tester to see if the instructions are dyslexic idiot proof, I'm happy to lend my easily confused assistance. :)
Some one who checks the Ohm Resistance of their run of Kanthal~!!! And heat sinks on the relays With heat transfer goo~!! And a power cut off door switch~!! I'm impressed~! It's been what well over a year now. What would you have done differently? larger box? Thicker insulation? different electrical controls? How has the ink bird PID worked out for you? Does it let you Ramp over time up and down? I did like the scratch stock trick you used to make the slots. How long does it take to come up to the critical temp for the steels you use?
Well, first of all congratulations because it is the best video I have seen in you I had in the construction of an oven, totally professional and a work of art, I wanted to ask you what material are the meshes that you put on. Thank you
What a top notch job! Definitely the best on TH-cam! Can you provide a link or more detailed information on the particular Type K Thermocouple you used. What are the specs for it? Thanks for making such a great video!!
Very nice oven ! A few points to think about, still: red grid is beautiful and...useless around the oven. The electrical box is also beautiful and...bulletproof (necessary ?), it is sufficient to make it from wood plates, keeping the electronics away from direct heat from the oven. Just keep metallic plate for the SSR to help dissipate its heat. Then about your electrical schematics: beware that you have no true insulation mean for your heating resistances, as you are only cutting one wire (supposedly the phase) and you are then directly touching "neutral" side if you get in contact with a resistance inside the oven. Adding a double channel contactor driven by the switch that is driven by the door of the oven is the solution.

Why the limit switch? You mean the one that turns off the system when the door is open? Why is that desirable?
@@AlessioSangalli so you dont electricute yourself if you touch a knife against the heater wire

Best hardening furnace I've seen on YT ... greetings from Germany ...
Hey man, that has to be the nicest homemade heat treating oven I have ever seen !!! Congratulations!
Thank you very much!😊
I agree , nice work !
For real man! I've seen quite a few people make their own heat treating oven, this surpasses all of them by miles!!!
What steel are you using to Secure the heat element inside?
That's what I was going to say
This is one of the best builds of something I've watched. I liked your precision cutting/fitting/welding... the unit looks so pro.
Thanks for the inspiration.
Excellent work
This build is ready for sale. Honestly, if I need one, I will buy one from this guy. He made it look so simple (I know it is not).
Probably the best homemade heating oven I’ve ever seen
Very professional looking. Looking forward to some to some Stainless steel knives.
Thanks man!
Me too😀

Anyway I can get a link to the parts used. I would love to make a killer brick pizza oven. One that can handle 12 pizzas at once. All electric
Extremely impressive. You, Sir are a joy to watch in action.
This has got to be the best looking kiln I have ever laid eyes upon. Kudos sir.
THIS is the nicest oven I ever seen anyone build 2 thumbs up to you.
Thank you very much, with the video and list of materials I will be able to build mine, it will be 1/3 the value of a similar industrialized equipment, greetings and thanks from this young Brazilian blacksmith.

I really neet to build one of these myself. Beautiful craftsmanship
This happens when an artist becomes an engineer!
Absolutely incredible build, only problem is your skills are wayyyyyyyy above what the average DIY can achieve!
Awesome JOB Love the design. I might use some of your techniques to build a forge
Absolutely beautiful.
First we had the Gough jig, now the hobbyist will have the AV oven.
Actually Aaron coppied the sandpaper jig off another fella.

Thanks man!
Glad you like it 😀
This is the best video if the kind that I have ever seen. I wonder if you can give us details about wiring and setting up the PID.
There are many tutorials on youtube about how to set the PID loop. Just pick the temp controller, some come with instructions and videos.
I work on commercial ovens for a living and this is pretty legit! Just don't let that element zap you since it's exposed! Well done though
Thanks man!
It has limit switch on the doors,so it wont...
@@AVmake that's right, good call. great job!
cool stuff! you have inspired me. Thanks! Great video....so much better than TV!
Absolutely beautiful! Well done, hope it serves you well into the future.

Beautifully done.
Very nice work! That is first rate DIY! Thanks for the video.
in youtube of all ovens, yours was the best. The unique advice that i can give you, its use gloves and mask, because those bricks are really toxic
