Christine Homer Weaving

Cart for kiln inside studio where it is loaded before being rolled outdoors
into his Flat Top Kiln. 
Hayne chose this design for the safety of having the kiln outside of his home and studio. 
He built this kiln the year following kiln related fires at Karen Karnes (she lost her house and studio in 1998) and John Leach (his studio was a total loss but his house was saved) also in 1998.
 
Note the glass and wood doors that the cart travels through on its way to the kiln shed.

Hayne Bayless with Christine Homer in his spacious
and lush studio in the spring of 2004.

Note the tracks going between house and kiln shed,
the angle iron tracks are supported on short lengths
of "Railroad Track" for support.

Hayne had a very nice and
efficient threshold plate that
covered the tracks going out
a set of glass and wood doors.

Note the use of Hard Firebrick around
the flues and burner ports.

Threaded rods clamp the door bricks down as well as
additional bracing from steel supports.

Metal culvert makes an efficient and inexpensive
chimney in this gas kiln.
