Coool

Hello Simon! Can you tell me the thickness of the stainless steel sheet that covers the Kiln? Thanks😊

Does it work wireless?

Nice

That's cool I need some for my mini roses and other rose when I harvest some

Hi Simon I got a kiln that’s like yours but it has 4 burners coming from the bottom I’m afraid that the burner will blow off and the kiln becomes a bomb what do you recommend I’ve read on you google to get a bigger propane tank so it won’t freeze up what you think can you help me

Is there less shrinkage when you single fire?

Do you think raw glazing would work with porcelain?

I like this re- outfitted kiln....the cone 10 reduction is fantastic!! Such an EZ kiln to build! Mel can help me build it! Yay!! ❤

Beautiful pieces!!!! Love them !!!

Would you say your pots are close to bone dry when you do this?

I feel guilty buying ware from you rather than throwing my own! But with cooler weather approaching, firing becomes more tenable in my 'situation'. I promise to get busy throwing this winter!

I uses treadle sewing machine. It’s a much nicer experience than loud aggressive electronic machines. Definitely more control. These are gorgeous. I am just getting into pottery so I’m not ready for such an investment, but this looks like the way to go for those doing pottery regularly. I hope to find videos of you using yours on here.

Do you get any build up on the kiln brick from the wood ash? Or does it burn out with gas heat at that temperature? Love your work.

Very interesting !!!!

❤❤ great stuff, lovely pots

Making a high fire propane downdraft kiln out of an old octagonal electric kiln, and using it as a production kiln is about the coolest thing ever.

I'd like to have a specific foolproof plan on how to build and fire a gas kiln like the one Simon has here.

Nice very good work, loved pottery since high school, I am trying again. Learned alot from your videos , thank you so much.

Volume is fine to me - love the spatter foxglove ! Loving the little belly on the tankards slightly different from the ones I have - ooooo it’s tempting 😂❤😘

Yeh, Love the greenish colour!!!

Simon, heads-up your recent videos have a Low Volume of Audio ... video etc otherwise Ok .... cheers

A good yeild Simon from this firing, love the Green mug, superb colour!😊

I need to do an electric kiln to propane gas conversation job at some point. I bought, foolishly a factory made gas kiln, it was absolute rubbish, strangely They are no longer made here in the UK, managed to get rid of it at a 80% loss lol Oh well, we live and learn 😊

What did you use for saw blades when you were cutting out the kiln walls? Did you use carbide tips?

You got some seriously sweet forms my dude

Very nice

Do you have a video on how you builded it ?

8th of December? (Was this recorded several months ago?)

Beautiful 🎉 can’t wait to see the opening after firing

Oh Simon I’m so worried to do a raw glaze firing 😬 I saw an earlier comment about the slow start to a glaze firing, but can I use the glaze’s that I have in my studio, which is recipe’s from Mastering Cone 6 Glazes John Hesselberth & Ron Roy ? 😊

Thanks for the tips

Thank you !

Simon, last time I tried this the pots cracked within 1 minute. Did this happen to you in the early days? cheers

Always fascinating. Thank you Simon.

❤

awesome glazing techniques

Hej Simon, thanks for the info long time watcher here since the Spain days :) Question. Do you alter the firing rate as the pots are raw ? Thx

I always single fire my student’s pieces. Mostly because the kiln is at my house which is 30 minutes from our classroom. Two transports is better than four! The only casualties are potter error-things not attached well enough that come off on the way home. Bubble wrap is a wonderful thing😊Perhaps a mirror in the glaze bucket to see how far to lower the piece.

After giving this a go the other week I was really surprised of the outcome, was great. Things can get a little slick if you’re not careful!

Thank you Simon!! Always enjoy your videos!! I still love my Leach wheel!! Use it almost everyday!!!

What if any changes did you make to your glaze formulas when you switched to raw glazing?

I hope I can come out and learn from you someday!

Hello Simon! It's Barbara from NJ.....love these videos!! How did that paddled pot come out? Temmoku glazed?

Thank you!

Hi Simon, I just came across your ‘Spanglish’ video whilst searching for Hakeme techniques. It brought me such nostalgic joy! I spent years in Spain speaking like that, in and out of each language. Now pining to be back in Spain ❤ ps. cable tie in Spanish?

Dear Simon the iPad perspective I like the best! Everything is focused and calm and keeps me focused and calm too.

Solid kiln load there, I didn’t see one second in the bunch!

Nice!
