my old bailey double kiln vent is no longer drawing air from the kiln. it a=
ppears that the double damper control is very badly rusted and its connecti=
on to the suction unit is also so badly rusted that the rivets holding it t=
o the unit are gone. it is leaking air at this junction so i obviously need=
a new venting system. are there any suggestions how i can do this without =
spending a lot of money. i noted from the clayart archives that walter mels=
trom has some plans but i cannot connect with his website. i'd love to hear=
from those people who have bypassed the commercial option.
thanks for your help
