Home for a month with lots to do! Must make work for the wood extravaganza at UK during the NCECA pre-conference, make pieces for trading with friends, do taxes, and write some articles. whew1

finished two raku kilns yesterday but not the flashing idea. These are oil drum kilns with 1/3 cut off. Also added a burner holder. One is a replacement for my smaller raku kiln and the other is for a friend. the flashing ended up around the grapefruit trees for protection against rates. It seems to be working.
