I've just finished rebuilding my raku kiln. (For those of you that have been following this blog a little bit, it's now two inches wider than the old one and can therefore accommodate the big Buddha I recently made).For anyone considering such a project as raku kiln building, I would only encourage you to go…
OK here are all the elements needed to build the kiln. I had some 3mm ceramic paper left over from building my large gas kiln 2 years ago. so I decided to line the dustbin with this first as an extra insulation layer. and tied it in place with these ceramic buttons I made. and tied it with nichrome wire. To cut out a base I sat the bin on the Ceramic fibre and pushed it down to make a circle of the perfect size. I then cut it out using a sharp knife. a perfect fit. I tied the top with the wire. Then I cut out a hole for the gas burner. This is the Ceramic Fibre. Caution needs to be taken when handling this stuff. I got some disposable plastic gloves from the local petrol station. and put on a respiratory mask and goggles. I had the idea, that if i wrapped the fibre around the bin and then cut it it would fit. It doesn't work. It gave me enough for the inside and the lid. I cut out a hole in the lid. unfortunately not as square as i would have liked. I fixed the fibre to the lid with the buttons. and fixed the fibre in the bin with more buttons. put some fire bricks in the base and a small 12" round kiln shelf. I spent a couple of hours watching raku videos on You Tube yesterday morning to give me a better understanding of the process. But what worried me , was that most of the video's were titled "Naked Raku" I can tell you I paused for quite a while before clicking on the video. you never quite know what's going to come up with a title like that. Luckily they all referred to the Naked flame. This is the finished Kiln. It took me about 2 hours to put all this together.
