Many many thanks!

David Groth craving machinery

Thanks!

Very generous!

David Groth ok

The heat lamps face up and are located at the bottom of the toilet container. The heat seams to spread reasonably evenly and I fill the the pottery bowls with hot water. I've found that trying to dry wood thicker than 3-4 inches causes the wood to crack. Bay is particularly stable with this process and some woods will crack even at 3 inches or less.

thak you david! have a good day :)

My kiln is a big box insulated with foam core. I have two heat lamps inside the porcelain water tank of an old toilet. The heat lamps are connected to a rheostat for controlling the temperature. Also there is a greenhouse temperature gauge with the sensor in the kiln and the temperature reading outside the kiln (available from hardware stores). On top of the water tank I have two stoneware bowls that each hold approximately one gallon of water. For the first two weeks I keep the bowls refilled with water and the kiln temperature at approximately 130 degrees Fahrenheit. The next three to four weeks (depending on the thickness of wood, usually not thicker than 3-4 inches) I keep the kiln dry while maintaining the 130 degrees Fahrenheit.

Excellent! Thanks a bunch! Love your work. Subbed
