So far I have been able to get by with various work-arounds. My favorite is to leave a set of spindles on the dashboard of the car when it's parked in the summer. If you want to get scientific, weigh the bundle and take them out when it stops losing weight. <BR/><BR/>I've also made due leaving parts in proximity to radiators, furnaces or wood stoves, and then there's the pot of sand on a hot plate set "low" for sticking the top taper part of legs into. <BR/><BR/>Work-arounds are fine for someone making a handful or so of chairs a year, but probably someone making a living at it should consider a kiln more sooner than later.greghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05696875704714328112noreply@blogger.com
