Solstice wood fired kiln progress report

Solstice wood fired kiln construction, 10th course of bricksWork on the kiln has slowed a little due to other commitments but I did manage to finish most of the 10th course of bricks today.

Cutting the bricks to form the wall above the front of the arch is time consuming but needs to be done carefully as the outer wall of the chimney will sit on this.  One more brick to go at the front and then I shall build the wall above the rear of the arch.  The space above the arch will then be ready to take the high temperature insulating castable.
