Simple to read and understand...good resource material
This book showed up promptly and in good condition. I found it very easy to read and it is providing me with a great resource to build my kiln. For the DIYr, you should be able source all the components needed and not break the pocketbook too badly.

Great starting point to learn how to build a small kiln for hobby use.
Concise, well written, easy read, yet chuck full of specific details. Prior to my reading this book, I knew little to nothing about vacuum kilns. After reading I have a fundamental understanding as to why and how they work. I am also now comfortable with moving forward with the build of a small (18" Diameter, 30" Long) kiln for personal hobby use. Good value for the money; recommend for purchase. ... show more

Gives you insights into making a vacuum kiln
There were aspects of the drying process which I was unaware of, and would have discovered by expensive trial and error had I not read this book first.

Perfect reference for building a DIY vacuum kiln
Fantastic reference material for creating your own vacuum kiln. There are a some videos out there, but not many that really have the level of detail needed to be able to build your own kiln. This book has everything you need. It’s a quick read, but very detailed and helpful. So glad I got it.

Not much here
I bought this based on the positive reviews and the lack of information on-line about diy vacuum kilns. This book has some information, but it is very sparse and nowhere near as detailed as it needs to be. For the cost I expected a full sized book with good instructions and detailed diagrams and photographs. That is not what I got...at all. The book is very small...really more of a pamphlet than a book...Which makes it difficult to see what is going on in the pictures. As an added benefit, the photography is very dark and poorly staged so pictures a difficult to interpret and understand. I'm a very mechanically minded person, and generally do well with reading and understanding these kinds of books. I can honestly say I know absolutely nothing more about building a vacuum kiln now than I did before reading this book. I've read some bad diy books in the past, but I'm pretty sure this one is the worst. ... show more
