My wood guy and I were stacking last weekend's haul when two local WWers stopped by. One owns a local cabinet shop so wasn't interested our wood (wants only KD, straight line ripped stuff) and the other guy is a local craftsperson, a very talented turner named Steve Ainsworth (also teaches at the John C. Campbell Folk School.) who gets burls, etc, from my wood guy. Since I had never been, later we went to visit Steve's 35' X 50' two story shop (yea, you read that right, it is a BIG shop).
Anyway, to make a long story short, since Steve is mainly doing turning he no longer needs his 16' X 8' solar kiln which looks like a VA Tech design, and wants to get rid of it so he offered it to us. It is a little big for my neighborhood backyard but the wood guy has plenty of space by his barns. He also has access to a roll-on which we can use to transport it.
I left my camera behind so don't have any pics, maybe in a few days or a week or so. |

NICE!!! That is an awesome score. Can we expect a KD wood run in 6 months or so?

Chris, just what part of
"he no longer needs his 16' X 8' solar kiln"
could you not understand.

Couldn't have happened to a more deserving person Alan
By the end of the week you'll have it upgraded with a wireless webcam so you can watch the wood dry from your office. 
Enjoy,
Roger

Alan that's great news. A perbuilt and operational kiln is better than building one from stratch. Congrats and U SUCK

Chris, just what part of

could you not understand. Oh, I get it... those ' marks mean feet! I thought it was some kind of model number! Or maybe you put it in when it's 16' long and it comes out 8' long? Or maybe I just can't read!
