Title: New Kiln Build
Post by: ozarkgem on November 01, 2016, 06:09:36 PM
Here is the start of my new kiln. The doors are from a real kiln that was used to make bath room fixtures. I bet they weigh 300 lbs. Had to set them with the backhoe.

Cedar for framing lumber. Don't see that everywhere.

Wondering if anyone would catch that. It works very well for studs and I have lots of it.

Nice build and hinges.  Many times, good hinges make the door seals work.  So you shouldn't have any trouble there.

So now I need a building to put dry lumber in. Will it ever end.

And then next you will need a sign that has a flashing red part that tells when you open.  Then you will next need a bank to keep all your money...etc.

How about we just fast forward to the bank part.

Bank? Don't need one. I have a sawmill to put my money in.

I hear deposits are easy but withdrawals can take substantial advanced notice...
