Sunday Pic of the Day

Mostly as a gas assist for the wood, but I also wanted to be able to just fire to cone 10 w/gas if wanted. I'd love a dedicated salt kiln, but there's a potter near me that has a couple of soda kilns set up and I've yet to make his acquaintance to get in on his firings, so I think I'll stick with the hybrid gas/wood in a downdraft set up. Likely a sprung arch kiln with a steel frame and sliding door, or I may just go old school and do a catenary arch since it'll be easier and not much welding - I'm still debating that. I took apart a catenary arch kiln last spring and most of the brick was salvageable as were the 4 venturi burners (which just need new bells). Local hardware store is primed to help with the propane set up too. I will need some more brick, and some steel pipe for the burner stack, but the gravel is in for the pad & I should be able to stand up a decent shed quickly.

The old kiln:

Nice work Ben, a friend of mine in college did a lot of Raku. Learned a bit from him.

Phill found a tree loaded with fresh Turkey Tail.
Another beautiful morning to start the day.

My beautiful wife and our rescue Maltese flew in from Las Vegas to join me for a few days in Crested Butte while I take a short break during Colorado's archery hunt. Crested Butte

Custom made. Check out the “season of elk” thread. Posted most of the process and a video of the first trial run pulling one of my employees around the yard.

The Season of Stupid (& elk)

“It’s the season of elk bro!” - was the text I got from Mt Muley 😉🤣 Just kidding… and don’t ever call him bro. But that was an actual text I got when I opened my phone from my hunting partner / mentor @Dsnow9, as the tag dust settled on the morning of June 15, when we both woke up to zero WY...

Had a visitor in the garden.

Wouldn’t want to be a coyote within 250 yards of her this winter. She’s loving her tikka 223 with its fresh camo sponge job she gave it. She’s dead nuts with the SWFA 6x on it. Had the cheeser up on the trailer watching.
