Thanks artista!
today, waiting for the calcium silicate boards, I did some dry stacking
I’m in a way happy that they’re easy to cut with the chisel and the grinder , but in a way I’m worried that they are too soft

Good luck Marco! My oven design has been inspired by the landscape and pizza around Florence! It has been a journey, and I have completed the dome and arches as of this week! I am firing hand-carved brick for the chimney and will begin that construction soon. I still need inspiration for the outside covering material for my dome, so I am open to suggestions!

Finally the starting point of today ...
Waiting for the CaSil Boards to come

STARTING THE BASE
I wanted to make a slightly different oven base, with a side part to use as a "table" or a place for a barbecue.

Since I'm waiting for the CaSil boards to be delivered, I post some pictures of the construction phase

Benvenuto,
Arriva Dante! Auguri!
In bocca al lupo. Aspettiamo le foto.

Dear Community,
it is a great honour and pleasure to announce you that today a big not turning point in my garden landscape has been taken and a new member of our family is coming.
His name is Dante, it will be 36inches large and 500kg in weight and, like everybody in this forum, he loves pizza and DIY.

The decision of the name / DANTE / comes from one of the greatest poet ever and his masterpiece "La Divina Commedia", the INFERNO in particular.
A story of fire and hellish circles, full of gluttons and envious, ferried in this burning world by a pizza peel.

I ask to all the Users & Masters here the holy blessing to start this prìoject and their patience to advise me anything in case "I loose the right way "

Marco

"... Nel mezzo del cammin di nostra vita
mi ritrovai per una selva oscura,
ché la diritta via era smarrita.3

Ahi quanto a dir qual era è cosa dura
esta selva selvaggia e aspra e forte
che nel pensier rinova la paura!6

Tant’è amara che poco è più morte;
ma per trattar del ben ch’i’ vi trovai,
dirò de l’altre cose ch’i’ v’ ho scorte.

Io non so ben ridir com’i’ v’intrai,
tant’era pien di sonno a quel punto
che la verace via abbandonai...."
