Failure is always an option.

Thanks crew, #17 firing was fun and, by the looks, efficient. Our crew is So dependable and intuitive that the future is even more promising. Might have solved the second chamber puzzle so there’s encouragement to pursue even better results. Also thanks to Casuarina team for victuals.
The censor has taken a particularly imprudent View to publicity of late so we are unlikely to see many pics, but this one was deemed suitable for release (after threats and severe negotiation) - kiln guardians rejoicing.

Thanks for wishes and prayers.
84 hours.
Run and done with new 2nd chamber. Some delayed heating in the 2nd observed, work to do or thoughts to consider…..
Hot firing from a sterling crew. Built on each others work - thanks team, who came from near and far, good, no, excellent teamwork.
