During the initial move process for the kiln, I tweaked the original stand out of alignment. I am not sure it is repairable. Looks Pretty bad. You can even see it in the background of the earlier photo of the Prius.
So, I decided to make a replacement. While I am at it, I considered adding wheels, so I can move the kiln around the garage, , , , I mean the Old Raven Workshop. So utilizing some salvaged bed frame (always a great day when I can score some curbside bed frame - "Po' man's angle iron" !) and some casters from Bo, I put together this stand.
I am not sure how well the wheels will hold up to the heat. they are hard rubber, and are not directly under the kiln. If I find they are melting, I may have to replace with steel, but for now, it sure makes it easy to move the kiln around. I also hade a spare can of cool purple spray paint.
Now to get some power lined up. (that might be a couple of months yet)

Kinda looks like R2D2 a little bit.
