Made a bamboo dome for the fire room.

Piled up the bricks on the dome,cutting them by electric grinder at a
perfect angle.

Made a wood arch for the 1st and 2nd chamber and piled up the the bricks on it.

Made the ”Sutema",space for buffering the fire stream,and the chimney.

Piled up the bricks again on the arch.Made a steel frame for the entire kiln and cast the concrete to the wall and the floor.Burned the wood and
bamboo arch.

この窯は2008年に完成しました。以前ブログをしていなかったので今の掲載となりました。英語の併記は築窯の際、海外のサイトも参考にさせてもらったので、どなたかの役に立てばと思い、拙い英語力ですが敢えて併記しました。

Mr.Joe gave me the fire bricks for industrial furnace which allowed me to
cover almost all the kiln's floor. Thank you Joe-san.(The man in the photo
is Mr.Hakari)

The problem was those special bricks were so heavy to move slightly for
leveling out,while it became the toughest floor ever.

焼成中の空気口となり燃焼効率がよくなります。
Work at bricklaying,putting the refractory mortar into the joint.
The sunken space of the floor helps enter the air while firing.

I'm content with what I did.

登り窯ができるまでの様子を何回かに分割して掲載しようと思います。
I'll try to write a serial article about how I built the climbing kiln!

まずは土地の測量をし、窯の幅と長さを決め糸でマークし、平地に穴掘り開始。スコップとツルハシのみではじめましたが、大きな石にぶつかり手堀りを断念。
First of all, I surveyed the land and started to dig a hole by scoop and
pick.
Big stones found in the ground and had no choice but to get a help of
machine.

ユンボで石を除去してもらう。
Backhoe got rid of the big stones.

階段状の傾斜のできあがり。
A structure of the stepwise slope completed!
