    Thompson Enamels used to sell an adjustable, very low profile trivet
    set. It was essentially four 1" wide strips of thin steel with a 1/2"
    folded over on each end. With the set, which came in approx. 2",
    2.5", 3", 4" counting the fold over. There were two "wings" of the
    same material but folded at an angle. You just pushed one wing in
    each fold of the best sized strip and then balanced your piece
    between the V shaped wings. If you look at Thompson's adjustable
    trivets with wing nuts with these same pieces, you can get the idea.
    This set is easy to replicate with titanium and has the very low
    profile needed for the small lidded kilns yet keeps the piece 1/2 "
    or so off the kiln floor so that counter enameling is not a problem.
    I haven't looked in the catalog to see if it's still available (I'm
    avoiding the stairs to the studio while recovering from knee
    replacement).
