Today we did another pit firing: Dig the hole, line it with rock, burn a fire down to coals, load the pottery, rebuild the fire, heat it to 850F, let the second fire burn down, cover the whole mess with a pile of dirt, leave it overnight. We didn't start with enough wood to raise the temperature to 850F, so we brought the saw along to make more. EDO has been running a saw professionally, so I turned it over to her while I did the swamping.
Your chainsaw tech looks pretty handy with her Stihl. My chainsaw is older than your daughter by quite a bit ; ) Love the pics and the explanations.
