This weekend I finally finished my new Kiln — a Kiln that would make Binford and Tim Allen happy. My wife is ready to kill me as its one more huge thing to move up to NH soon, but I want to get back into making some more Windsor chairs once we get settled in our new house this spring. I took a workshop last summer at NBSS and made a continuous arm Windsor chair and hope to make some more for our new place.
The design is based largely on one my friend Pete Galbert came up with and shared on his blog here with a few minor changes/tweaks based on the engineer in me and what materials I had on hand. I’m looking forward to it having a long service life.
Highlights:
- 2′ x 3′ x 4′
- Thermostatically controlled
- Reflective insulation
- Cord storage
- Chest handles
- Leveling feet
- Room for sizable pieces
Next up chair making project will be a shave horse.
