The video also recommended the dangerous practice of using a standard drop saw fitted with a diamond blade to cut bricks. Not only is inhalation of brick dust highly hazardous (wear a respirator), the motor location is likely to get the dust into the motor and kill it. Also the technique of trickling water on the blade to reduce dust is inviting electrocution, as again the location of the motor and lack of integrated cut out switch. Use a proper brick saw that has the motor well away from the blade, a proper water feed system and a far less dangerous speed.

The construction of a heavy brick chimney over an unbutressed entry arch is asking for trouble IMO, either buttress or use a lightweight stainless pipe. The application of render directly onto blanket is also not recommended. Better to add a layer of 10:1 verm or perlcrete over it to provide a firmer substrate to apply the render to, as well as giving more insulation. Then do the drying fires to eliminate the water. And finally It is also prudent to cover the outer rendered layer to hold in the moisture for a week which will enhance its strength.

My experience with getting info and I mean good info on how to build these ovens is right here with all these experienced builders. Not a bad idea of watching them getting design ideas and seeing someone cook in them but for informative building advice, this forum for sure is where you want to be.
