Build your own solar wood drying kiln for peanuts.

These plans and ideas have been put together by Carl Peterson, inventor of the Peterson swing-blade portable sawmill, and precursor to the various other "copy-cat" swingblades now available. Plans include important principles for fast, efficient, and effective drying of valuable hardwoods and softwoods. Designs that encorporate ready-to-hand resources, passive and active approaches to wood drying, and techniques for improving existing kilns. Build from scratch, build around a stack, or convert an existing building into a kiln using these principles, concepts, and/or advantages. These ideas will be valuable whether you have a budget of a few hundred dollars or many thousands. For information about the Peterson Portable Sawmill click www.petersonsawmills.com .

Shortly after payment, you will receive an email with a pdf file attached which holds plans, drawings, and an in depth explanation of these important wood-drying principles. That email will also include the user name and password needed to access the "kiln details" page on this website holding various pictures of a kiln during construction.

I will arrange an immediate refund if you are not completely satisfied with what you learn from this information.

You are welcome to talk about these kiln plans, and even share the photos available on this page or the kiln intro page, but for obvious reasons please do not publicly release or publicize the details held in the package you have purchased.
