Looking real good John. What kind of kiln or oven will you have in there?

Pat this will be a Raku kiln made from brick donated from an old kiln that an art center no longer wanted.

A friend of ours did nonfunctional raku ware. He used a chest freezer to do his raku; filled it with all sorts of combustible materials for different affects. My wife was his studio assistant one summer and saved his arse from falling in when he was inspecting his ware he was making for a show at the Navy Pier in Chicago. He gave Marcia a few pieces that didn't make grade for the show.

On to the next project. Lots of rain over the last two weeks. Should get this poured tomorrow.
This will be a storage room for tools and a place for the electric to come in. It has been hot so it's work 15 mins drink 15mins then back to work. Should have this one done in three weeks then we will be set to start running and funning. Cant wait to build my first bow

Coming along nicely, John. You are going to have a nice set-up when you're done.

We got the concrete poured and in this picture we pulled a stick out of the mix and smoothed it back out.

John, is that gonna be a flat roof? Any pitch to it?
 You've surely gotten a lot done. I know you'll love the work space when done.
