Kiln Construction: Day 6 & 7

 Due to the high amount of rainfall I wasn't able to commence work on the kiln again until Easter. So I spent Good Friday and Easter Saturday getting the kiln almost finished. I built the walls and added an additional metre to the height of the chimney.

Adding walls.
Wall, stoke hole and door.
Adding exterior wall.
  
End of day 6.


Adding additional height to the chimney.

Kiln just before sealing chimney with mud.

I now plan to return to fire the kiln very soon. I do however, need to create some work to go in it, prepare the wood and put a final layer of insulation (clay & sawdust) over the arch of the kiln.
