Building a kiln for Catherine
Over the last few months / weeks I have been researching and designing a gas fired kiln for Catherine.
She had in her garden a 1000 Lt water cube, the metal cage is ideal for the outside of the kiln. I started by cutting one side off and that will now form the roof, !!! I have formed the door and door frame out of angle iron that we recycled from an old disused european style potters kickwheel which would have gone as scrap.
Catherine wants a front loading kiln that she can load and unload without bending, so we have raised it onto blocks, we will be lining the kiln with ceramic fiber and the chimney will be high tempurture kiln bricks. Lots more work to do !
This is how the cage was to start with.
The side cut off which now forms the roof.
