Maintaining the pottery kiln in Phù Mỹ village 1/2

It may happen that during the previous firing some part of the kiln get damaged. It is this important to maintain the kiln before every firing. It is Nguyễn Tấn Ánh‘s task. He is cuting a wooden stick to the leght of the upper wall of the kiln. He will insert it vertically between the wall and the metallic wires surrounding it. It is important to secure those walls as the pressure of the large pile of firing pots pushes them outwards. Combine with the stress of the heat, this makes them very fragile walls.
