    Re: Hearth and Dome construction questions

    I built mine without forms. Use something to prop up the brick- it shouldn't take more than a couple of minutes to set up enough to remove it. A stick would do, really. I used bamboo sticks (1/4 inch or so in diameter) for mine.

    You can do the sand, but it's messy and you can't clean up the joints on the inside. Fighting gravity is possible, just be creative.

      Sticks - yes - good idea. It will only be for a couple more courses then I can build a small round platform to support the last couple of really small courses near the centre. Thanks. And maybe I'll use a bit more lime to make the mortar stickier as well.
