Re: 82cm Corner Underway in Bulgaria

Use a circle calculator to figure out the effective radius of a circle for the arc you want - and then use a piece of string to draw it. Look at the link. You know the "chord" and the "segment height". From that you can calculate the radius

A little late as there have been several posts in between, but the reason you want a board on the outside is to provide a positive stop for the reveal, yes mine got a little off andi wandered back slightly as I made my inner arch, not mor than 1/8 inch but it is noticeable. On the sealing of the door.

Your flue arch - outer arch should have a internal radius about 1 inch larger than the reveal at all points so you can have a door with 3/4 inch larger radius than the reveal and still roome to move the door in and out of the flue arch without hitting anything.

Faith in Virginia, little question for you, did you lay your bricks on there sides when you got higher up or from the start?

Faith, you must be a glutton for punishment if your embarking on another oven project!!!

Thanks to all who have been of great assistance over the last few days.....................don't go away !!!

Yes the first row is the soldier brick row all other rows were on their side.


No I'm looking forward to my twins. Thinking of two 6'x8' ish bread ovens side by side.

I thought you were giving away your bread at this time. Are you thinking of going commercial?

Re: 82cm Corner Underway in Bulgaria

Giving it some serious thought. First I need to learn the financial aspects of a bakery. I know I can't make the mortgage on bread alone. So before I make that jump I need to know that I can support myself with a start up business. Still working out the details.

We went down the road of perusing what we thought would combine our hobby/interests into an income stream, we were/are good at the intended business.
We lost a sheet load of money and now have to work harder to make up for the lost money.

The grass is not always greener on the other side, plus, once bitten/taken/used, the once delightful time consuming hobby takes on a very bitter taste indeed.

Re: 82cm Corner Underway in Bulgaria

Dear Faith,

If I offended you with my flippant light hearted, well intentioned remark, then I humbly apologise, however, I do reiterate my statement, that it is a big step to consider and I still wish you well in your consideration and still wish you Good Luck.
