Kiln Construction: Day 4

I returned to Canberra after day three. I didn't return until mid January when there was a cool change. This time I needed to complete the dampers and chimney. I had a slight mishap however, I got a bit too eager and tried to remove the form from the arch by myself. The form twisted when I tried to remove it and knocked the whole arch and firebox down. I had to reconstruct the firebox and arch all over again!  This error cost me an extra day.


Oops! Start again...Kiln cleared ready to rebuild.

Reconstruction of the arch take two.
