The dye oven

It's done!

Here was my process to build the dye oven (dye oven planning post can be found here):





-Stand the pot over the fire area. I used bricks and metal rods to build my stand, the same setup I had for dyeing over an open fire.

-Put the dye vat on its stand and start building a brick igloo around it.







-MORE BRICKS

















-Cover the holes in the brick structure as best you can with a mixture of clay, water, and straw/grass/etc.












-Put a door in place (I have a metal trough as a door)








Now set a fire under your pot and dye stuff!
