Head In The Oven

I spent the last week with my head in the oven... no literally, my head was in the oven quite a bit the last two weeks.
here are some photos of the last 2 weeks progress:

The dome has been done for a week now, this past week was spent working on the vent and the doorway arch. This week we focus on insulation, and enclosure, and the chimney (yes it will be taller than the 2 foot section in the photo).

Today was the first of a series of 7 curing fires... so we are on schedule for a full firing next week some time! We got so caught up in the excitement of the brief newspaper fire, and the fact that 98% of all the smoke went up the chimney (hurray!) that we neglected to take pictures of the flames licking the inside of the dome. Hopefully we will get some cool fire photos as we go through the curing fires this week.
