Hey!
Don't take it apart. You won't like what you se under that steel I
promise you.
Also what if there was seraset involved with the manufacture of this kiln.
Thinking about it gives me the jibblies.
My old boss took a kiln apart once. The end result of that was me...
notching 1000's of soft brick using a jig made of a long screw...
Mmmm soft bricks are so dusty when you cut them with a screw.
It seems like the right thing to do I know it but if you do
you will not want to put it together.
I moved my kiln with a freaking 4x4 and a cement block. I had two
friends help me heave ho heave ho heave ho.
I shit you not. I levered and shimmied that thing out of the shed it was
in (we had to take the front of it off)
and onto the black top. Then I got my friend with a hydrolic lift on his
truck (paid $40) to lift it up and then
we did more levering.
Then when I got it home I had to cut down my fence with a saws all and
then move it onto the
pad I poured. THEN I got a bunch of ply wood and made a road over my grass.
Then my neighbor had a little hydrolic pallet jack thingy and we
strapped it to that and moved it.
You can also rent a forklift.
Make sure you build a box inside of the kiln.
Cut some boards and lay them against the surfaces of the bricks inside.
Secure them with two by fours to keep them from moving around.ESP if it
has an arch inside.
Watch your toes!!!
