Once you have the dry fit complete, be sure to mark the centerline of the mortar joint on the plywood form. This will help you from getting "mortar joint" creep as you lay you arch.

Looks really good! How much of a reveal are you getting between the dome arch opening and the gallery arch? Is that the full depth of the gallery (including flue?) or are you doing another arch in front? These are all questions I'm considering for my build, I'm about one month behind you...
thanks! Sixto.

Chris, that may not be perfect, but it looks fantastic to me. Well done.

Thanks, Randy. I appreciate the feedback.
Today I got the mortar that caked under my platform scrapped off, cleaned and the gaps filled on the top of the dome. It’s definitely not perfect but at this point I don’t think it matters. Also, I got the outer arch form completed while it rained.
More steady progress but won’t be able to progress much again until next weekend.

It comes down to what you can afford. It is a law of diminishing returns. It definitely helps retain heat but if it will break your budget then don't worry about it.

You bring up a question that I have been pondering. I plan to build an enclosure around the dome with >=3in of fiber blanket insulation. Is it necessary to fill the remaining space around the insulated dome with vermiculite/perlite? It seems that it would be redundant insulation.
Thoughts??

I like how you put your name and date on the dome. I wish I had thought about that.
Unfortunately i don't think that the people who bought my old house have ever used the oven. I had offered to teach them exactly how to use it and bring my chef friend to cook some awesome food.
