Re: Randy's dreams do come true oven build
You did not think wrong it is a difficult concept to grasp. It is a math specialty called analytical geometry. The study of intersecting shapes. Today Google sketch makes these problems trivial but 37 years ago I did an independent study course while on my internship drawing out complex intersections by hand on a drafting board. The shapes were even more complex than this so grasping the concept for me was quite easy. Execution with brick - on the other hand was best left to make them as you go.
Your inner arch is fine. It just makes it a little more difficult to transition the dome to the arch.
The inner arch can be calculated and created prior to the dome but I found it easier to build my reaching arch as I went.
With your current inner arch shape the dome will develop a teardrop shape as it will reach higher than would to be true of a perfect hemisphere.
It will not have a significant effect on the performance you will just find yourself creating some very custom bricks to make the transition work.
Case in point. If you look at the Forno bravo plans they do not even chamfer the inner sides of their arch. Look at some of the crazy bricks over the arch On some of those builds. Talk about strange complicated cuts....
