Wood fired kiln build update

 Although it might seem that not much has happened since my last news article a great deal of fiddly work has been done.

Wood fired kiln build, 5th course of bricks with fire barsThe 5th course of bricks (see larger image) is an important one as it includes the fire bars.  Behind each of these is a removeable piece of brick which will allow them to be replaced  if necessary.

The 6th course is in place although the gap between the outer and inner skin needs to be filled.

Work will now be put on hold until after the festive season.
