Re: My Wood fired Redux

I had a chance to finish the granite arch today.

Re: My Wood fired Redux

Also have the walls and roof (mostly) framed out. Looks like I have more time next week, so I'll have the structure dried in for sure. Lots more stonework and some carving to do, but it will be insulated and functioning for the IPA tasting next week.

Beautiful workmanship.

I like how the final shape has accounted for the chipped corner of the original granite block.

More carving

I got another very unexpected day at home today, so I made the pedestal bases for the arch and started working on the hearth too.

Starting out with yet more scrap granite from the project in New England. I cut two ends off a 5.5 ft piece and began by squaring up.

(after I cut off the ends)

Re: My Wood fired Redux

So I made two of those and checked them for fit before trimming them for real.

Re: My Wood fired Redux

Then placed the whole assembly on the watertable to check how everything matched up.

I cut the intrados of the granite arch slightly smaller than the intrados of the vent arch, so it would hide any visible brick edge.






Another thermal break..why not.


I still have to hone these, and bevel the top edge.
