Do you want to learn how to build and use a vacuum kiln for quickly drying batches of wood?
This book was written to help you learn how to assemble and use a homemade vacuum kiln for quickly drying small batches of wood. It provides a cost-effective solution for independent woodworkers and hobbyists, based on the same principles used in larger, far more expensive commercial vacuum drying systems.
First, it explains the nature of wood, followed by an overview of how and why vacuum kiln drying works. Next, it provides step-by-step instructions for building a wood-drying vacuum kiln along with a few variations and shortcuts. Then, it covers the techniques for quickly drying wood with the vacuum kiln.
The technique described can be used for rough-turned work as well as milled lumber. All types of woodworking benefit from properly seasoned wood, and this book will enable you to quickly and easily dry wood for all of your woodworking projects— reducing the time it takes from inspiration to creation and preserving the results of your labor.
