Loading Door!!!

I was able to mortar down my loading door today!!

Next is to finish building the wooden form for the Kiln arch!

Back at it!

So after spending the winter in Oregon working with and learning from the Astoria Dragon Kiln, I am back in Ohio continuing to work on my own wood-fired Kiln. First step was to put up the wood arch forms with the side loading door to build first. To help envision the door, I put together a maquette of the arch to reference while I build. Next I have to clean the arch bricks and cut so many in half, then I get to build it!

I also found a little Wren nest in a box of broken soft bricks by the Kiln.
