	Empire Brickyard
		What survives at the Empire yard are six permanent kiln walls, a few small foundations, concrete piers for what may have been the railroad spur, and the ruins of the bulkhead.
		The kiln walls are the most significant feature, as they may be the only such surviving remnants of a Hudson Valley kiln outside of an intact brickyard.
		The heat entered the kiln at arches spaced evenly along the bottom of the kiln wall.

		Kilns can either be "oxidized" by opening a port to allow oxygen into the interior or "reduced" by closing off the kiln from outside air to attain colors as desired.
		Wood firing is frequently time-consuming, as the kiln must be stoked for days, but the pieces which emerge often have characteristic patches of orange color on the clay itself, known as "blushing".
		The kiln is heated to a low temperature, usually no higher than cone 06, and then ware is pulled out of the kiln while still hot (using tongs, of course) and smothered in ashes, paper, or woodchips.

	Glaze - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Liquid glazes - suspensions of various powdered clays, minerals, and metal oxides - can be applied by dipping pieces directly into the glaze, pouring the glaze over the piece, spraying it onto the piece with an airbrush or similar tool, with a brush, or with any tool that will achieve the desired effect.
		With all glazed items, a small part of the item (usually on the base of the piece) must be left unglazed, or the piece will be effectively "glued" to the kiln shelf during firing.
		To prevent glazed and stacked pieces from sticking together, kiln spurs were invented.

		These three spurs are located at the top of the second tile course and correspond to where the tripod feet of a similar piece would rest were the pieces stacked.
		There are two other marks like kiln spurs at the outer edge of the roof which raises the possibility that the piece experienced a second firing with a dis-simular piece stacked atop.
		There are three distinct kiln spurs on the base of this piece, with projections on the mouth's rim which we also believe to be kiln spurs.

	Ceramic Supplies
		Kilns are ovens where clay, pottery, and porcelain pieces are "fired," which means burned, dried, and hardened.
		Kilns can be operated by electricity, natural gas, wood, coal, fuel, oil, or propane.
		Kiln Gloves: gloves that are heat resistant and used to provide safety to the artist operating the kiln and working with extremely high temperatures

	Poke-A-Nose Pottery - Glossary
		A firing where there is either no combustion occurring (electric kiln) or where there is sufficient oxygen in the kiln to allow the fuel to burn cleanly.
		The atmosphere of the kiln (oxidation, or reduction) dramatically affects the resulting clay and glaze colors, for example; copper in oxidation is green (as is copper oxide) in reduction it becomes red (more like copper metal).
		The term describes a low fire form of pottery where the pieces are removed from the kiln as soon as the glaze has melted and then left to cool or doused with water.

	Glossary: Spur marks
		Spur marks are the bits of clay or depressions left where the piece sat on kiln supports in the sagger when fired.
		The firing supports were used to support glazed wares in the kiln to prevent them from warping, sagging or sticking to whatever they would have sat on otherwise in the kiln during firing.
		Around the 1850's the number of spurs were reduced to mostly only one after which the practice was gradually phased out.

	Misc. Dug Items
		This spur was recovered by Dennis Irvin of Fauquier County, VA during the late seventies into the early eighties.
		All three chains are in good condition and were excavated by Dennis Irvin in the 1970's from a campsite in Brandy Station, VA. The top and the bottom examples are approximately 8 3/4 inches in length and the middle example is 7 inches in length.
		The patinas of both spurs match very well, however their size and neck etchings are very slightly different, but are close enough to make for an excellent cavalry display.

		In the centre of the kiln floor is the WELL HOLE over which SAGGARS, with their bottoms knocked out, are placed.
		A MUFFLE kiln is very much smaller than the other types of oven and is used to fire decorated ware.
		There is no particular reason a CALCINING KILN should be bottle shaped, since it is used not to fire pottery, but to prepare the flint and animal bones which are added to clay to make up the material from which pottery is made.

		The dome was a shape particularly well suited to the desert environment, as it tended to counter the effect of the strong desert winds while protecting the crushed rock and limestone beneath its 100 foot high center.
		In 1981 a new kiln was brought on-line, utilizing a Fuller designed, four stage pre-heater/pre-calciner with a 13.5 x 225 foot rotary kiln and an 11 x 100 foot clinker cooler.
		This kiln is now the workhorse of the operation with a production capacity of 4,000 tons per day.

		The kiln is long and round and resembles the shape of a tall water-jar turned over on its side.
		After the kiln has been fully charged the fire is lighted, and the entrance is then bricked up, leaving only a square hole, through which billets of pine wood are thrown in without intermission.
		Saggars are prefired refractory clay containers that encase ware in the kiln to protect it from kiln debris, direct flame, and fluctuations in temperature and atmosphere.

		Interestingly enough five marks from the kiln supports - used to stop the flat porcelain pieces to sag or become warped in the heat of the kiln - is visibly inside the foot rim.
		To the collector it is also interesting to note the uneven distribution of the "spur marks", quite different from the perfectly symmetric marks sometimes deliberately added on later reproductions.

		The kiln itself is a section of PVC pipe.
		A turnout for this spur had been set in the siding when it was first laid but the spur itself was delayed because I wasn't sure at that time what would be the final design for the material building.
		All of these spurs along with those installed earlier for the luggage factory and the chemical plant should provide plenty of opportunities for operators whose interest is switching.

	China: 5000 Years
		Ru ware is very evenly and thinly potted and most of the pieces are fully glazed (including foot and base), because in the kiln the vessels were placed on tiny supports called spurs that left only minute "sesame-seed" marks on the glaze.
		The tripod shape of this vessel reflects a Han dynasty (206 BCE-220 CE) bronze prototype, a shape that was revived during the Song in bronze and jade as well as ceramic, for use as an incense burner.
		The fairly coarse stonewares of the Cizhou and related kilns of Hebei and Henan provinces have in common a coating of white slip, originally developed to increase their resemblance to wares with more refined white bodies.

	Fun Facts
		It was established as a railroad spur on the Milwaukee Road about two miles north of Stillwater and across the river from Carnation Farms.
		Originally established as Carnation Spur in 1911, the name was changed to Stuart in June of 1917 when the town of Tolt changed its name to Carnation.
		There were cattle pens located alongside the spur and milk platform was provided for shipment of milk (about 200 cans a day) to the Pacific Coast Condensery at Monroe.

	Troubleshooting Moulder Tearout
		The vertically mounted spurs must be a few thousandths "proud” of the edge of the planer inserts.
		The spurs score the wood and define the vertical cut and the square planing inserts hog out everything else, much the same as a stacked dado set.
		To adjust, put a 2-4/1000" shim between the straight edge and the guide fence and axially adjust the rebate cutter so that the spurs are just making contact, then remove the shim and shift the planing inserts in the cutterhead until they are lightly touching as well.

		The first, a round up-draught kiln, shown here on the right, was built above ground level and was heated by several fire mouths located around the kiln's circumference.
		It appears that the up-draught kiln was originally fired using wood; coal was used later.
		It was designed to be used either in an up-draught or a down-draft kiln, the latter being the most efficient.

		Now I’m betting that “kiln dried” douglas fir studs and redwood 2x4s aren’t the best stock from which to cut blanks for spindle turning practice.
		However, if you can turn beads, coves and ogees in fir or redwood, I’m guessing that cherry, walnut, maple and mahogany would be a breeze.
