Foundation is poured, now waiting for it to cure.

I have a Brent CK wheel. When were these sold? I purchased it around 1973 and haven't used it in the last 4 decades. It works great.

Hi, I have most of the bricks, fiber insulation, kiln furniture, etc. from the kiln's previous incarnation. The arch and floor and partial chimney are hard brick with some soft brick and fiber for insulation. I will buy more fiber and maybe some vermiculite for added insulation. I see a piece of corrugated culvert pipe in the woods behind my house could be chimney material. I have a friend with an auto repair business who can supply drain oil. I also need a system to transport the oil. I am using ideas from Dennis Park's " A Potters Guide to Raw Glazing and Oil Firing." Also Fred Olsen's "The Kiln Book." The original kiln was built in 1978 and then built again in 1982. David Earley

I am planning to rebuild a kiln I made decades ago. It will be a catenary arch 4x4x4 ft fired with propane and waste oil. I have most of the material just need to pour a concrete base. I am looking for anyone who might want to learn/share in this. I am located in Strongsville Ohio. Kiln foundation is poured, waiting to cure.
