just so all are clear and understand.

that is kurt's plan/his kiln.
we have made a couple others, and i have
built 5, but the design in pmi is kurt's/
i did the details for the drawings and prep
work to get them to mark elias. mark and
work for about 9 hours getting all correct.
it is a daunting task. both kurt and i hope
folks will use them, enjoy them...and thank
nils for letting us share them with all.

Hi guys
Tried to access Pottery Making Illustrated at www.potterymaking.org with
no luck what-so-ever. Any ideas on why? Says there is a problem with the
page.
Very interested in getting a copy with the kiln plans to look at.
I have Nils book and am still getting materials for my salt kiln but am
interested in any and all flat top plabs I can eyeball - maybe oneday I'll
even get far enough along to actually get mine done with some confidence!!
have started an outside job to get the funds for the rest of the materials,
ITC etc I want/need. -Maybe this winter :-) Cyclone season is mearly over!
and it rained once!! yooo hoooo!!
Steph

I have tried to log onto the PMI website and check out the Kiln plans. I
keep getting a message "Server is too Busy". Anyone else having this
problem, or is it me.

Thanks,

I say, be patient and try later.. I tried it this morning also and could
not get there. I received the message "Server too busy".

I was able to get there yesterday so the plans are/were there.
