This is the exciting part of any Raku firing.... so some safety precautions needed. Heat proof gloves, long handled tongs, face masks to protect eyes and lungs from fumes and ash.

| Team Work |
|
 |
| Hot, hot, hot! |
 |
| Work needs to be removed quickly but carefully |
 |
| This big old case held the sawdust for the reduction | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
 |
| The hot pots are placed on the sawdust and some more sawdust is placed on top |
 |
| Safety gear definitely needed when adding the extra sawdust |
|
 |
| Wet newspaper is placed around the edges to minimise smoke |
