Re: 36" build in London, UK
I think you said your oven is already done, but I'm targeting my oven floor to be the same height as my elbow. I don't even remember what height that is, but I'm 6-2, so it's probably around 46-47" (4.5 blocks high +4" slab+5" perlcrete+2" brick floor).
I'll make something for the kids to step on to reach it.
Yours is 9 courses high at 3" each is only 27". I would have added another 3 courses, then again, if it's 3.5in you're at 32", so maybe two more are needed.
Since you've already built the oven it really doesn't matter, but it's fun second guessing you. I hope you're enjoying having it done.

I agree with Al. Finished hearth height is very important. Mine is 44 inches.

Re: 36" build in London, UK
Hi guys,
Here's the next lot of pictures. We've built the base in this stage. Note the slight lean on the front right part - we're so caught up in getting the wall straight in the other two directions we didn't notice the vertical lean. I should point out we hadn't laid bricks before so we weren't too harsh on ourselves!
There's also a random picture of the bricks after they have been delivered. I love the beauty of these bricks and this image really captures it for me.

Looking forward to see how it turned out.
Gulf is right, it is a great spot and i love the traditional brick!

That is a beautiful spot and backdrop for a WFO. (And patio maybe)? Can't wait to see how this turns out.

36" build in London, UK
Hi all,
Here's some pictures of a 36" build we did last summer in the UK. I meant to post them at the time but a combination of busy weeks at work and busy weekends building, I didn't get round to it. So here they are in retrospect.
The aim of the build btw was a smallish oven to fit a London garden using the traditional brick of the area. We used the forno pdf for the structural elements but had a different idea for cladding as you'll see. We also got a slow-mo video of us building it which I'll post at the end when I've stitched it together.
