I am going to start a new thread since I have graduated from stand construction to oven construction.

Here is my stand building thread

I laid out the arch profile and the hearth today.

I decided on a 38" oven with a 20" interior height and a 19" x 11.5" opening.

I have attached pictures of the arch and door layout that I mocked up as well as two hearth options (one has the herringbone pattern). I am not sure which hearth I will use yet.

I have not cut any (or many) bricks yet, so these mockups were mostly made with full size firebrick.
