ATM My underground Kiln.



Hello,

Since about February my friend and i dug a 6ft hole and 6ft square for a kiln
all by 2 shovels! It took us that long because we were working only weekends
and we are only 14yrs old. It is now complete and ready to melt glass. It is
self annealing since the ground when closed with a lid can hold a lot of
heat. We test tried it by melting 100 aluminum cans into a sheet of aluminum.
It worked and now I think i can do some glass melting. I am going to need a
pyrometer(high temp. thermometer) and was wondering if anyone had one I could
buy off them? I am planning to melt glass blanks up to 12" for my friends
telescope as we do not have jobs.
