    Re: 42" build in Central Texas

    believe me, Im a gadget guy and have way too many of them. Your stuff looks great and will be around for many years. Should add good value to the property if you ever sell. Anyone ever have experience selling a home with a WFO? wonder what real estate agents say or think about these as a selling point???

      I think it depends upon the patio area surrounding it. Alone, not so much.

        Because I cant get up easily and im stuck at the TV/Puter, thought I'd share my day with you. (Maybe it's the Vicodin talking). I had Arthroscopic knee surgery at 2:00 today. Asked the Nurse to take some pics during the procedure. Doc cleaned up my left knee and found out I have no ACL. Should be good to go but may have to address the ACL at some point.

          Glad to see the surgery went well. Looks like your knee is going to hurt today by the looks of the picture

          It will be interesting to see what temps you see at those 3 locations.
          Ps.
          I added the thermocouple info to my thread.

            Showed a real estate friend my oven not quite complete and asked is a an asset for the sale of a property? The answer was at that time ... Perhaps but its home made ... So it might ... Or might not.
            Stuck in my mind so I've been mindfull that I did build a working oven ... But an ugly one .
            With one thing and another I've taken my time till now till the finish that I'm happy with,showed a photo .... And the answer!
            Great! Ovens are real popular now and are a great selling point especially ones like yours that are not " package" ovens added to sell a property.
            Figure?
            Recon Tscar's right its all about the presentation.

              All the best with the knee issues. Anything that restricts mobility is an issue but only when those chickens come home to roost.

              People are starting to take notice of WFO's in the real estate sense.

              Multi benefits to building one of these versatile ovens.
              Cheers ......... Steve

                Re: 42" build in Central Texas

                Limped around a little out there last night and got the outer arch supports up.
                Im struggling a tad with this flared arch but think I have it mostly figured out.
                Of all things the Voussiors arent clicking with me. I could go try to guess but Id like to know what is the right way to figure the angles? Do they point to the striking point? This arch will be visible and I want small mortar joints and better looking angles than my inner arch.

                  Yep, its all about setting out a rdius arc from a centrepoint that strikes the sides where you want it. The bricks then need tapers that follow back to the centre.
                  I find it easier to get a piece of board and mark it all out, and set the bricks onto it as a mock up.

                    I think thats what I'll have to do. Get a large piece of cardboard and lay it all out and make a brick template. Looks like the striking point for the Voussoirs is lower than the point for center brick.

                      Lay it out physically, it is the only practical way. As always leave the keystone to be cut to fit the as built, not the as designed.

                        If I had 2 more bricks I would have finished the outer arch today! My son helped me figure the Voussoirs angles this morning. Going smooth, hoping for good clean consistent mortar joints. Oh and we killed a Coral snake too. Reagan was cutting a couple bricks and looked down to see the familiar Red-Yellow-Black coloring of a Coral Snake slither between his feet. This one was 25" long. We have found 36" ones here before. Reagan was actually bitten by a Rattlesnake when he was 4 years old about 20 feet from where the WFO is. 4 days in ICU but not long term problems.

                          Your best bet is to lay from both sides and don't cut the last one until the rest are in.

                          Looks great though, other than the venomous aspect.

                            Thanks for that you have provided the answer I needed to my front arch challenge.

                            Much Appreciated

                                I do. The people that were gaga over the oven didn't have the winning bid...and the person that bought the home didn't really care much about it. My wife and I didn't have an agent, but to be honest, our home kind of sold itself. The WFO and patio area were just an extra that didn't matter to a lot of the lookie loos.
