Topics I've Started

  1. sawdust injected burners

    Posted 12 May 2013

    I started an additional subject on sawdust burners which didn't quite fit into the wood-fired forced air topic.
    Lowell Baker has been working on these for a long time. He gives workshops all over the place. Here is a Youtube on his sawdust injected burner.

    Posted 14 Apr 2013

    I thought I'd start a new topic since it seems like a slow weekend. I posted one pic in the previous thread about raku kilns. here is a few more.
    There are comments in the gallery with these photos under raku kilns.
    http://ceramicartsda...album&album=130


    This kiln fired on split 2 x 4 scrap from a truss manufacturer. We would gather the wood in a pickup truck.
    There is a schematic drawing of this kiln in Steve Branfman's Raku; a Practical Approach , 2nd. Edition.

    I copied down your glaze test idea so that I can try it. I think you have a mistake on the fourth line. Should be C +E. TOM.

    As Patti Warashina says (and I am at her feet) clay is a most humbling media and we must be crazy to work with it.
