Your arch drawing looks lovely.
I would just comment, that you may want to consider an alteration. The arch will be stronger if the bricks are cut to taper and the mortar joints kept to a minimum. The idea being that it will be freestanding on it own, even if the mortar fails.

Re: Vent started
This link will take you to drawings for the arch, the floor space from back of arch to front of oven is 14.5", because the back of the arch was trimmed to conform to the dome curve and the front of the floor extends one inche beyond the arch. The 11.5" illustrated is from the front of where the door will be to the front of the arch.

Happy building!

Re: Vent started
Only in english is "peasant" derogatory. It comes from the French paysan(ne), or someone from the countryside. What we know as a farmer. The US press is fond of calling our local country people "farmers" and those in other countries "peasants". If a reporter were to write that the US political process is held hostage to the interests of the peasantry, he'd be linched.

I'm not sure I want to get to the next level, that mixing concrete is no fun.

Re: Vent started
Just saw the vent and it's unanimous! If that's not the best of the month, I can't wait to see what is. That looks really nice, Jim. Very clean and neat.

Re: Vent started
Hi Jim,
A suggestion, why not post the pictures of your cuts in the photo gallery, too. They show the cuts you made so well. I'm sure future oven builders will be interested to see them, and its sometimes easier to find things in the gallery that burried in among the threads here...

Made good progress on getting the vent in place this weekend. I found a 8"x12" ceramic liner in the area which will sit atop the base pictured below in a sleve yet to be built. The vent opening stretches the entire width of the arch and needed to be reduced to the size of the liner, otherwise I could have done with a whole lot less cuts.
