I was looking at the kiln today thinking that it would be fun to get it going again.Peterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03078608554226394069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3580639918656230427.post-21201193594096187172010-10-29T23:34:19.835+13:002010-10-29T23:34:19.835+13:00I just ran across your site and had to mention how...I just ran across your site and had to mention how beautiful the work you are doing with this kiln.potterykilnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15916269027219985467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3580639918656230427.post-19543583493227020212010-03-05T11:18:07.167+13:002010-03-05T11:18:07.167+13:00Thanks AngieThanks AngiePeterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03078608554226394069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3580639918656230427.post-3137807375804200302010-03-04T08:54:51.181+13:002010-03-04T08:54:51.181+13:00Hi Eleanor,
Lovely to hear from you. Mmmm, the Ki...Hi Eleanor,<br />Lovely to hear from you. Mmmm, the Kiwi accent seems to come and go rather. I think what accent I have is rather a muddle from having lived both sides of the globe (I wonder if your own accent will change?!!).<br /><br />Duct taping a house together sounds just my sort of repair job... I'm impressed! Car "bog" works really well in rotted window sills and holes in walls! <br /><br />It is funny how 8 degrees can feel "warm", but when the sun is out, and there is no wind blowing, it can be very nice indeed. Indoors I find 12 degrees OK for working at the wheel, but 10 and below become a struggle with the sleeves rolled up for work... you end up colder and colder, and by 2 in the afternoon start to realise that the brain is no longer working properly and something must be done to warm up!<br /><br />Evenings are cooling off here now, and just a hint of autumn in the trees, it will be nice for you heading towards spring.<br /><br />Love to you from Me, Laura, and Ginger the Cat xxxPeterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03078608554226394069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3580639918656230427.post-15658590687674138102010-03-04T07:22:00.086+13:002010-03-04T07:22:00.086+13:00Had to pop back to say ...when you have time,pleas...Had to pop back to say ...when you have time,please pop by as there is something for you ...near the end of the blog xxAngiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12177505346903016669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3580639918656230427.post-1660779585338154452010-03-03T03:24:01.046+13:002010-03-03T03:24:01.046+13:00Hi Uncle P.

I noticed you haven't perfected your kiwi accent yet :P<br /><br />The 1st pot looks awesome, and is def a fav.<br />I'm keeping pretty busy; yesterday I helped duct tape Ben's house together. That stuff works wonders.<br /><br />I'm off to walk the puppy as the sun is shining here today. I think it's all of 8 degrees but after weeks of nothing above 3 it feels like a sauna :-)<br /><br />Hope you are well.Eleanornoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3580639918656230427.post-12469354085400930952010-02-26T08:54:57.574+13:002010-02-26T08:54:57.574+13:00Hello Angie,
Glad you enjoyed the video. I Wish we...Hello Angie,<br />Glad you enjoyed the video. I Wish we had been able to have shown more of taking the pots from the kiln (probably the most exciting part!), but we were both too busy at that stage. Amazing being able to share the sort of glimpse into our world that video brings.<br /><br />Hi Linda,<br />I think we will have to design a wood fired raku kiln that you can tow behind your vehicle as you travel! Actually, I'm sure it could be done!!! It was very good to do some raku, so much happens quickly with a firing like that, it gets the creative juices flowing again!<br /><br />Hi Ang,<br />Really looking forward to seeing your hi tech wood fired raku kiln in action. Looks like a great idea. <br /><br />Gidday Dad,<br />We will arrive bringing gifts! Happy Birthday Mum! (and a slightly belated Happy Birthday to you too!)<br /><br />Hi Jim,<br />We were thinking of you when we were firing the kiln. Laura wanted me to put some more atmospheric footage of smoke pouring out of the chimney and fire in the chamber as she thought you would enjoy it! Alas... poor "Yorick" the spider, what a way to go! I suppose any other spiders watching may have been speculating as to the chances of smoking improving the flavour of the deceased! Spiders aren't generally known for their empathy!<br /><br />Bonjour Armelle,<br />I was hoping that the video might help you with firing your raku kiln, as I know that you were having difficulty getting to temperature. It will be nice when weather improves enough for you to try again.<br />Ginger and Laura send their greetings!Peterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03078608554226394069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3580639918656230427.post-90151082962440081142010-02-26T07:01:07.306+13:002010-02-26T07:01:07.306+13:00Thank you to share Peter, very nice video and grea...Thank you to share Peter, very nice video and great post.
