dusty dome is 4" tall

Re: dusty dome is 4" tall

Acoma,
I've been mixing the mortar a bit wet and soaking the next brick for a minute so I have a bit of time to tap them (squize out the extra mortar) and level each one. By the time I do all that, maybe a minute and a half or so, it is set enough to go to the next one. The angle is getting steeper though. I am not sure that will be the case today when I start the sixth course. I'll let you know.

Sarah,
Just saw your post. I can't say 4" inches any longer. Suppose I should rename this thread, but it still seems to be a good conversation piece! It's now @15" tall and I'm heading out there now. Gunna try for 17 1/2" today. I'll keep you posted.

Dusty, looks good! But how much longer can you keep saying it's 4" tall??
Keep up the good work.

Dusty, the dome is looking great. How long for each brick before the hold takes place for you?

Well, here's two photos taken tonight. They may have turned out better if it wasn't so dark - full moon though.

Re: dusty dome is 4" tall

Your 6 inch dome is looking really good Dusty.

The higher you get the quicker it goes.... except for the dome to opening transition.

Take your time and enjoy the ride. It may be the only oven you will ever get to build.

Have fun.
