------------------
I am planning a Web Site on building MFT Kilns. I would like to get 3 or 4
people to contribute their experiences with constructing a MFT. Preferablly
people with little or no previous kiln building experiance. The site will =
have
photos of differnt kilns, costs of various items(differs from area to area),
sources in different areas, problems, unique solutions, things they did
different than Nils' plans, time in construction, things they would change, =
how
they initially worked, tuning, etc.

I have found the experience of researching kiln building both interesting =
and
frustrating. Many people have been very helpful and I would like to return =
the
favor to the potting world and make it easier for knownothing dreamers, like=
me,
to build a kiln(and know what it really takes).

We are building a 30 cu ft MFT in Powell River, BC, Canada. I hope the have =
the
kiln done by May and the web site up by June.

If you have built a MFT and want to contribute E-mail at =
merek=40prcn.org
