Re: Cyungle's 39'' Pompeii in Queen Creek, Arizona
It has been a while since updating and I've made a lot of progress. The four images summarize the major accomplishments.
Once I got the radius tool rebuilt to center the rod on the brick rather than on top of it, all of the dome bricks lined up perfectly. I cut up lots of wedges to slide in the gaps to minimize the amount of mortar needed.
The trickiest part of the dome was working the dome into the arch. It required a lot of work from the brick saw but it turned out just fine.
Just like everyone has recommended, the exercise ball was the perfect solution to completing the top.
After completing the dome, I scooted the arch form up to complete the outer arch. I ended up squaring the top of the arch to prepare for the chimney.
