          As requested by Collin, here is a picture of the whole oven dome and chimney. Heading to the scrap metal dealer this weekend and sell off the oops and scrap. I think I have about 15-20 lbs of scrap. Enough to buy some good micro brew..........

              That's crazy good looking Russell. Is she D.O.N.E., or are you still planning a little something on the exposed firebrick?

              I was trying to think what sort of tile or stone might complement the copper. You thinking about anything there?

                Hi Dennis,

                The oven part is done, no more. But the CMU base still has a stone veneer going over it. Spring of 2015 LOL.

                        That's purdy...I've worked a bit of copper over the years, I understand the amount of work that went into that. Nice.

                        One of my original plans was to do a copper dome, but not an overlapping shingle-style like you've done. More like a smooth copper dome. I was going to make a couple of concave and convex surfaces with the same shape as the copper sphere, form several sections, hem the edges, then flat-solder them together. In some ways it'd look "shingle style" like yours, but with soldered seams, but mine would have less texture.

                        But I decided to go with a stone igloo instead.

                        Keep the copper scrap. Now it's time for you to fabricate a copper still. lol

                            Chimney looks cool Russ, great job on all the bends too! One question though...any reason why you didn't flash the top of the arch cladding?

                              You can do what you want of course, but if it was me, I'd run a bead of silicon over that top seam to keep the water and snow melt out.
                              25 lbs of scrap copper?! I'm surprised you have cash left for beer! Wait, maybe it's Schlitz or something....

                                Schlitz "quinine" (what we called it then) was a dmn good beer in the early 60's. It fell off in the late 60's and early 70's. It started taisting a little skunky. Sort of like Coronas do today. We did not know then about adding lime to counter the skunk taiste, so a lot of us switched to Budweiser "skullhead" (is what we called it in those days) .
