Re: K79 Oven Build
Even if you do run into the tear drop its okay. The oven will still function just fine. If you run into the drop all you have to do is add a key stone to avoid it, then start a new chain of bricks it will solve the problem. Ask me how i know.

Re: K79 Oven Build
K79,
I am not sure where you are at on your arch but a tapered arch would help with a smooth transition from the dome to the arch. Here is a link showing how this done on a arch similar to yours. Hope this helps

Re: K79 Oven Build
I got my support for my inner arch complete today on my lunch break. It went faster than I thought. My plan is to put some 2x4's under it with some cedar wedges on both sides to lift to the correct elevation. Once my arch is nice and solid, just slip the cedar shingles out and done

Re: K79 Oven Build
You don't have to worry about it raining on the brick for the month or so you're working on the dome?

I covered my dome after working on it to keep some moisture in the mortar so the mortar doesn't dry too fast, however you must give it some air to breath also, don't completely cover it. After 1-2 days i would remove the tarp. Basically after the mortar hardens i would remove the tarp.

You're lucky to have a metal worker friend. But Stainless also costs about 5x as much for the metal
