    Good luck with the new build.

    I think your picture posting is limited until you have a certain number of posts

        Once you have the access you need to 'go advanced' click on the paper clip and depending on the size of your pics you can get up to 5 in the one post.

        All the best with your build. Looking forward to following your build.
        Cheers ......... Steve

          It might have to do with the size of your pic files. I reduce mine through an image resizer and they end up 1600 x 1200 and they are usually under 100kb. They load much more quickly and the quality is fine for the purposes of the forum.

            Looking good, Rocciarm. You'll be glad you leveled those block up when you get back to it. It'll make things a lot easier going forward. Nice job.

              If you use bond beam blocks or knock outs filled with reo you can skip the angle iron.this is the standard method of building lintels and looks much neater and probably much stronger.

                Have a look at the FornoBravo oven plans. It gives the detail there.

                  No, it's not necessarily true. There are a number of ways to go about it. One popular method is to pour a solid concrete monolithic pour. Have you reviewed some of the methods others have used on their respective builds? It's a great way to get ideas and to weigh the pros and cons of each.

                    Ok, good. In my opinion, that's a great way to go about it, by reviewing others' builds. I know I sure learned a lot about WFO's that way. Best of luck to you.

                        Thanks, Oasis.. I just filed in all of the cores today, except the front which I hope to complete this weekend. Took me 15, 60lb bags of concrete to fill in 17 cores. It was a good workout. Slow and steady....

                          This past weekend I finished the lower half of the stand. For the span across the opening I used 1/8" angle iron and also used inverted bond beam blacks with two pieces of 1/2" rebar running horizontally across the span. It doesn't look too pretty, but it's solid as heck...and level. Will be pouring the upper slab soon!

                            Looking good on oven #2. Are you going to bend that rebar into your oven slab or cut it off? If you can, try and bend it to join the slab rebar and tie them together. Also, since you have two different slabs at the base, i would expect some stress to your base that will most likely cause some cracking or heaving. i dont think it will be a problem at all, but something to watch for later. what is your plan for covering the base? brick, stucco, rock etc ?

                              Thanks, Texman! Yep, we are going to bend the rebar. I will definitely be keeping an eye on the bases, looking for cracks... Thanks for the heads up.

                              I want to cover everything in brick...of course the brick of my wife's choosing
