DIY Motorized Vitrigraph Stand Construction Guide (eBook)

Raise, lower, and store your vitrigraph kiln with the push of a button.

Commercially available motorized vitrigraph systems can be expensive, difficult to source, and take up valuable studio space. This detailed construction guide shows you how to build the same adjustable, wall-mounted motorized vitrigraph stand we use in our own studio, using readily available components and basic tools.

Designed specifically for kiln-formed glass artists, this system allows you to position your vitrigraph kiln at comfortable working heights, lift it out of the way when not in use, and create longer pulls without the need for a permanent floor-mounted setup.

Why Build This Stand?

✔ Save hundreds, or even thousands, compared to commercial systems

✔ Store your vitrigraph kiln up and out of the way when not in use

✔ Adjust kiln height at the push of a button

✔ Use commonly available parts and hardware

✔ No welding required

✔ Proven design currently in use at Milkweed Arts
