Ring, while turning ? Shame.

I wasn’t turning, I was finishing.

Ah – I can see it now. Where did you say you got that padauk ?

Metro Hardwood. I wish I could take it back because I found a place to save 5$ a BF.

G’day Russell,

Great looking work there.
You state ” My new kiln is doing a great job of taking the moisture out gently, yet quickly.”

What type of kiln is it & how did you make it ?
Cheers

Col, here is a link to the project. Bear in mind it’s only a prototype made with a cardboard box, but soon I am going to dig out a sheet of plywood buried in my garage (and at the same time retrieve one of my lathe hex drivers I dropped back there), and make a kiln that resembles a smoker with a light box containing three bulbs with the third in the series wired to a thermostat which cuts it off at about 90 degree F, or 32 degrees for you chaps down under. The kiln box will stand about 3 ft high and have adjustable shelves so I can dry about 4 or 5 bowls at a time.
