Backyard Kilns: A guide on how to build a Philosopher’s Kiln Paperback – April 28, 2015

In typical potter fashion it shows you the guide lines and typical pitfalls but requires that you take the plunge and try it out for yourself. A quick read and lots of inspiration.

this book is giving me exactly the information I was looking for.Simple kiln without many complicated explanation which inspire to make one without be afraid.

Interesting little book, but not as helpful to building a kiln as a few others.

this has some info useful to me, but ultimately it is not the design we are going to use. This is a rectangular kiln that needs angle Iron reinforcement. It is not intrinsically stable. My group is looking to build a small-scale medieval beehive kiln using local on-site materials as much as possible.

the kiln uses common materials and while most work up to more advanced (read as expensive) mayerials, this does show you what is possible. sometimes that's exactly what is needed.

Had all the info one could need for building a backyard kiln for doing larger metal work (like leaf-spring size for swords, etc.). Buy it if this is what you want to do but be aware, you may not be allowed to build one in your neighborhood. They are large and entirely made of brick without mortar.

An interesting book. Would love to build one of these kilns. Just need some open space away from neighbors though.

Informative, Gave me a few ideas of my own.
