Everything is done and really to fire. I need to make some pots now. But first I need to finish my arrows before deer season.

We finally fired the woodfire kiln today. Our target was cone 9.5 (around 2300) and we made it. It was really fun learning how to control the rate of climb.

Nice jet out the chimney!

Bet you could probably do a pizza in there, too, right?

Nice work on the kiln, John. Looking forward to seeing some pots coming out of your new oven.  :OK

With this new kiln, I am afraid John is just going to pot.

@ Pat we will open it on monday. Much of the ware is from a friend. I tjink I have 5 test peices in the kiln.

@ JW it was so very hot loading wood on the chimney side of the firebox soooo you could say I got baked during this firing.

Long time since I have been on here. I am still enjoying primitive archery. I took up another challenge to add to the fun.  I spent the summer living in an appartment above a hanger in southern IL and took flying lessons all summer and passed my checkride last Friday. I wanted to learn to fly because driving to all these hunting spots is to dang far. It takes like 15 hours to get to SD to turkey hunt with Halverson. I have had a few more invites across the country that would be great fun. So I am a pilot now! I rebuild/repaired a 1946 Taylorcraft this spring. She is not super fast but she is really vintage. It has no electric system it's all "steam" gauges. I really can't wait for next year's hunting adventures to begin.
