A well-sodaed bagwall mug from the second chamber
.
I wasn't happy about the scar left after dremeling out the refractory kiln snot that fell into it from the arch
.
Now, it's just a kiln mark/gift
.
Not the same story without it

Another pound mug from this past summer's wood fire
.
A little dry under the handle, but a little unadorned clay is OK

Put together two more shelves
.
One for clay--the boxes needed to be off the floor
.
One for glaze buckets--they needed to be inside the pottery so they wouldn't freeze
.
Finally started a new six-month making cycle with some kilo porcelain bowls

So "holzhausen" already sounds plural
.
My German is non-existent
.
So plural would be holzhäuser?
.
Think I'll just call them beehive stacks, when they're done

Finished the hardwood holzhausen
.
It will cure for a year, be ready to help fire the kiln next fall
.
I'll use the wood under roof in the background to fire next spring

Started building a holzhausen on top of four pallets with overflow hardwood, mostly oak, maple and cherry
.
There's still some room under the wood storage roof for pine or other soft wood
.

Maple, pine, oak, and more maple
.
Wood processing for the kiln occupies me for several weeks in autumn
.
It will be placed under roof to dry over the winter, to be ready for firing in May
.
Oh yeah
.

Holy Hen, Batman, this one's so immaculate it's glowing

Does anyone else find it hilarious that the Regime is jealous that another right-winger in a different authoritarian"shit hole" country won the Nobel Peace Prize?

An oribe refire

It was slip and shino on the exterior, the first time through the flame
.
And FDT for trying to create the very conditions for which he might invoke the Insurrection Act
.
What mirth there must be in Zhongnanhai and the Kremlin

A handsome mug and the kiln it was twice fired in
.
Oh yeah
.
And FDT for being such an irredeemable fuckwad, and double that for all his enablers, psychopaths every last one, for making so many lives worse and for what

Waiting for the kiln to cool

So here's a trawler coming about in the Kennebec at the mouth of the Winnegance in front of Maine Maritime near sunset

Second day after mudding up

Fired 37 hours, burnt four cords of wood
.
Hard to ramp, using just the side stokes--too slow, but we got where we wanted to go
.
Next time we load just the 2d/soda chamber, I'll build a campfire in the chimney or preheat with a propane tank
