With the help of Steve Wagstaff and Fiona Rashleigh, we transported both structures from Quarley to Stourbridge on Monday 19th August and set them up in the afternoon.

Levelling the ground and assembling the furnace took about 45 minutes and, having rehearsed it at Quarley, went without a hitch. It was not necessary to include the steel pot shelf supports as the furnace was to be fired the next day to fire the inside of the structure.

Photographs of the inner furnace walls are on this page, which also shows the furnace in action.

The lehr, although more complex to put together, was also easy to construct, again taking about 45 minutes and the ground only requiring a minimum amount of levelling.
