Thank you for the link to Dave Binns ...Hi Gwynneth,<br />Thank you for the link to Dave Binns it all looks most interesting. I think that quite a lot can be done to reduce smoke when wood firing, both in terms of kiln design and also intelligent stoking. It is definitely something that I am thinking of for when I make my next wood fired kiln. <br /><br />Hi Pat,<br />Glad to report that my beard is still intact! This reduction firing thing is fascinating. Have just unloaded another few pots from the kiln, and more dramatic results that will be posted soon.<br /><br />Hi Patti,<br />That's nice! "All... Wonderful"! Well, you don't see the ones I throw away! But it was a good firing, which is always a blessing.<br /><br />Hi Judy,<br />Thanks Judy. I wonder what comes next after oil drips.... I did hear that someone was thinking about hydrogen into an electric kiln..., but I don't think I will dare go that far!<br /><br />Hi Linda,<br />Yay... Adventure! Did you ever read "The Wind in the Willows"? with Toad and his canary coloured cart, and his series of motor cars?? He was a fellow adventurer, and should probably be our mascot!Peterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03078608554226394069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3580639918656230427.post-67402687785413037442011-07-31T07:41:26.276+12:002011-07-31T07:41:26.276+12:00You are such an adventurer, right after my own hea...You are such an adventurer, right after my own heart, with that oil drip reduction, good for you.Linda Starrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04364078667554676592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3580639918656230427.post-63856932796545950762011-07-31T01:52:02.276+12:002011-07-31T01:52:02.276+12:00These pots are just gorgeous!

Photos are a bit frustrating really, I quite agree, and I wish that there was a way to do things better. It is a shame that the teleporting thing that they had on Star Trec wasn't real (or was it??)... Then we could say "Beam me up Scotty." and be in another part of the world in an instant, or maybe beam a pot over to you that way! Oh well! :)Peterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03078608554226394069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3580639918656230427.post-55983747977811668852011-07-29T22:55:16.478+12:002011-07-29T22:55:16.478+12:00That copper glaze /oil drip pot is gorgeous ...the...That copper glaze /oil drip pot is gorgeous ...they all are ...how I wish i could see them in real ...photos are never quite the sameAngiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12177505346903016669noreply@blogger.com
