So- I'm here to drop off new firing pics. Been busy with work (employed again), throwing, firing...
The computer I'm on is wacky about loading some pages, so I have to put this here rather than the pictures page (I knew the forum number for the addy bar... how pathetic am I?)
Anyway- keep warm, ladies.
These were taken by my wife
Firebox with a low dryout fire- that slab in front is castable refractory- I actually start the fire outside the firebox. Bricks are removable for mouse hole air (under the coal bed) or secondary air (huh huh- derriere) right under the suspended wood.
Checking the fire... don't do this at top fire- there's too much radiation.
This angle makes me look like a man of average height.
Goggles make me look like a supervillain
The wife brings the family out to see me.
The rest were taken by my friend and fellow potter- Heather Gwinn
Glow on underside of my 1/4" steel warped firebox door
Glaze on this mug is melty and wet here
Base of chimney- these bricks are removable as passive dampers. Works pissa.
