Kigbeare Kiln Project 

Thank you for making this video. I am in the process of building a kiln close to the same size and shape. It was meant to be an anagama. But it may be something else by the time I am done. I have never built a kiln before and this was the biggest risk of my life I am a single father of 3 children adn I am homeschooling my children while making this kiln to support my family. This is meant to be a jump back in time for me and my family. I am looking for another potter who wants to be a part of it, but so far it has just been me. I have built the studio and winter stopped me from putting up the roof over the kiln so I could begin the kiln. This video is so much fun to watch. Thank you for spending the extra time to click the button a milion times.

Video to fast

So this is the second build video recently where the wooden supports were removed by hand. In the first, the designer thoroughly explained how they precisely trimmed and shimmed the supports to facilitate removal. I thought the whole time, why bother? Why not just burn them out with the first test fire? It is a kiln after all.

The kiln has been in regular use for the last 4 years and works a treat! Just in case you have not seen it, here is a film of the first firing ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-gkXqkvB_LfU.html

Beautiful work .

いいねー流石

What a pleasure to watch, thank you 🙏🏻

Beautiful!

Great video! I loved it! Imade a 3d animation video to show how my wood burning kiln was built. Her name is Norberta, after the Norwegian Ridgeback Dragon... She is much, much smaller though. Manabigama proportions. And I use no arches, or better yet, I use what I call a "radical Micenaean Arch" technique. The arch is locked in place by the weight and cement on the outside and above. So you don't have to spend money and time mounting a catenary wooden mold. Also, I don't insulate it so much, with that extra layer of external cement, because I want it to be "sort of" easily disassembled, in case I have to reassemble it somewhere else! that is another feature of small size kilns. Not possible with the big beast you have, there! Check it out in my channel if you like! Thank you for sharing! I'm going to watch the video about it's first firing now! Take care!

Bravo, Much Work, Excellent

Does the kiln work?

Can you give me the blueprint for this kiln?

Brilliant

Esse forno é maravilhoso 👍👏

im so excited to see that works...

Good works

wow! must be well insulated!

It appears that you did not use "shaped" brick in your arch...Is that correct?
