Graham Sheehan Bourry Box Kiln

This super neat clean kiln designed by potter and kiln designer Graham Sheehan is a real beauty. Even the steel work is inspiring.
Damper slots done and the body of the kiln finished. Ready for the ironwork and then the arch.

What a beautiful day. When the lintel is set I will lay the last 50 or so bricks that finish out the damper area. Then its time to get the welder out and build the steel bracing.

New Bricks Arrived

The new bricks came and we finally got back to kiln building. It was a beautiful day and that didn't hurt a thing. We cast a lintel for the kiln throat using a mix of 4 lb stainless steel pins to the 100 lb. of US castable. It took about 125 lb castable for this lintel.
