    Re: John's 42inch Aussie WFO

    Had a busy day today.

    Completed the first row on the dome and will start on the second row tomorrow.

    Just wondering if there is a website that I can plug my arch dimensions so I can calculate how to splay and cut my arch bricks?

    I tried to get my hands on the angleizer but have been unsuccessfully.

      I cut a big piece of cardboard to cover the floor and keep it clean. I really made a mess with mortar dropping, particularly as I went higher. I would not have enjoyed cleaning all of that mortar off the floor.

        Absolutely agree Joe. I cut my plywood floor template into 4 sections today and have placed that on the floor. Beats cleaning mortar off the floor

          Began on the second ring today and decided that I would splay these rings to provide me with minimum mortar thickness at the back. What a big mistake, it took forever to cut those damn bricks but must admit it is fairly tight.

          I set up my high tech jig to also cut the required inside angle as to avoid the internal V.

            Some pics of the 2nd ring.

            I am utilising the rod to provide me with the required angle

            Is there a way to avoid the internal lip between the top and bottom bricks? Do people grind these level?

            cheers

              John, for brick cutting I created a tool to set the radius from the axis of the hemisphere and hold the brick at the correct course angle. Although my 10" saw didn't, couldn't, get deeper than a 3.5" cut, it set the angles that allowed me to complete the side cuts. The tapering of the bricks, taking 1/2" off the top front inside of the bricks, was done with a simple jig.

              "http://www.fornobravo.com/forum/f28/new-brick-cutting-tool-old-tool-7649.html"

              Here is the thread from the tools forum.

                Ignore the lip. Once you get fire in the oven, you stop looking at the minor imperfections.

                  Joe's right! Without that brick milling machine getting a mirror finish on the interior would be a real bear..

                    Hi Chris your tool looks great but well beyond what I could probably create. I'm glad you were able to create something to help with your cuts and am sure you had fun designing it too.

                    I will stick to the old fashioned shims as they seem to work okay. Keep on creating those tools!!

                        Completed the second ring and have begun on the 3rd.

                        I decided not to splay the 3rd ring as it was very time consuming and my cutting blade is on it's last legs. Will need to source a new 14inch blade in the coming days.

                          My brother in-law was kind enough to calculate my arch brick dimensions based on a template I had provided him

                          It looks like I will need 11 bricks

                          The attached scan has not allowed for any mortar joints but I will look at the final dimensions and factor in a 6-8 millimeter joint.

                                Thanks Guys. As I have never worked with bricks before I am really enjoying myself!

                                Mark, I saw your pics of your WFO and it is looks great. I was unable to find a link to your thread though? Do you have one?

                                regards
