Friends bearing gifts are to be praised, especially a gift as rare and precious as this one.

I'm a bit speechless. It's here. 5 months of waiting and saving and stressing.
Jeez. It's big.

The magic moment when, after previous heart ache, the kiln gets packed and switched on.
It doesn't look like much and I wouldn't touch it while firing (I like not being electrocuted), but as long as it works then happy dance.
