thank you guys... sorry for late reply..
hi cyndy in recommendations i tell you one mistake which i did. you should not repeat that. i have given the chimney hole exactly in centre on top and my pulling cable also comes exactly in centre so once it broke because of heat. you can give the chimney outlet slightly off centre so it doesn't affect your pulling mechanism only if you are making this kind of kiln. if you want i can give you basic 3d model which i made. good luck with your project. please share pics.
hi nadine,
i got a good fabricator who made this frame. raku is my favourite too. i have uploaded some pics of pots which i have fired in this kiln. and some recently fired ones i will upload soon. i am also planning to make another bigger trolley kiln for firing of big pots i will upload pictures of that too.

Someone certainly did a good job on the frame! Raku is my absolute favorite! Can't wait to see your pots come out of it.
