Kiln Construction: Day 3

Day three of the kiln construction saw the hot weather continue. The first thing I attempted to do was to complete the flues.

A passive damper was created for each of the exit flues into the chimney as shown below.

The form for the arch was then placed on the kiln floor using bricks to raise it so it could be removed later on.

Bricks were then laid to follow the arch.

The arch was eventually completed by placing the last key bricks in the top of the arch.
