Saving up for a kiln load!

Slowly the pieces to this new pottery business puzzle are falling into place, I now have a small used electric 220v kiln hooked-up in my basement so I can work there in addition to the studio, but I still have to set-up a down-draft exhaust system before I can use that kiln. The gas kiln (which is still a "virgin" meaning unused) will probably be moved to my cabin or the garage, it's set-up for natural gas, but I do have the orifices for use with propane so, I will have that option.

I have at the Pottery Studio moved into a bay area (basically, a 3' by 3' by 7' space with shelves) enough shelving to make it more affordable to fire and glaze, so I have the space to save-up for renting a large kiln instead of paying for individual pieces (which has been expensive.

So, since I only post photos of "finished" pieces here, you will have to go to my Facebook pages to see "works in progress" in my facebook group and photo albums.
