MarkJerling I can't speak for Chip but he can always go back and use the oven if it is in the family. During covid I really struggled with not having a oven. That was when I really missed mine. It took a while (like 5 years) but I finally built another. I looked at lots of different options from cheap steel ovens to some pretty expensive ones. I could not bring myself to pull the trigger on them. I just really wanted a brick oven again. If I had occasional access to my old oven that may have changed that feeling.
mrchipster Glad to hear you are still doing well. I hope you are enjoying your self in florida.

Hey Mr. C, Glad to see you still check-in once in a while. I use your as tapered ax arch picture to still to show users the nuances of building that type of configurations and many users use your brick cutting jig. Are you still coming to PCMR? I am still teaching at SB but starting to slow down a little. Give a shout if you come to SLC during the ski/snowboard season.

Re: Chip's 42 in Minnesota
It will be a grape vine mosaic looking something like the drawing and taking artistic guidance from this piece.

Re: Chip's 42 in Minnesota
It has been a long time since I posted to this because of a number of factors.
It has also been a while since I made any changes or improvements to the oven.
I have been thinking for some time now on how to decorate the entry area of the oven and I have seen many great tile jobs done by others on this and other sites.
The attached sketch and photo are my plans for the vertical shelf in the front of the oven.

BTW, the final stair rail product is very nice.

Re: Chip's 42 in Minnesota
Again, looks good...since we all are giving our .02, I'll say I'm glad you painted it brown...IMO, the white jumps out too much and over powered the stairs.
But you know what they say about opinions.
Anyway, it really finished off the whole area.

Thanks for the complements on the beauty shots UB, DS,Tex
