    Re: the indispensable Tool

    There are a wealth of these designs. Mine, alas is long gone. The short of my design was a small caster with the wheel removed and a rod replacing it. The rod ran long and a 2.5 inch piece of angle iron was attached to the rod to limit the inner face of the dome bricks. I didn't use a clamp and a wood rod and block could replace the metal rod and angle iron. Look at Hendo's info. at
    http://www.fornobravo.com/forum/f28/...heme-2985.html
    and
    http://www.fornobravo.com/forum/f28/...idea-2573.html

    Hendo is no longer with us, but I think he's the one that figured the tool out moving from the string as the tool that defines the inner dome. jcg31 has very helpfull info in his thread, a significant contributor that you should also find helpfull.

    What I did is on post 25, but I don't have a tight shot for you in these photos.

      Hi welshb2,

      I have a indispensable tool that I'll send you for the cost of postage and a box.

      View my oven link #2 for a couple of photo of it.

      Cheers,
      Bob

        Let me know what I owe you and I'll send you a check. I'm not in much of a hurry as not ready for using it before June 20.
        Thank you very much.

            Hey Rob - you're only a few minutes up the hill from me in Foslom.

            Here's the tool I built - cost me around $5 and has worked great. A small gate hinge, strip of birch and a Simpson Strongtie bracket.

            I'm a course or so from closing my dome. Good luck with your build.

                  Rob -

                  Don't know if you're headed to Arizona or if you wanted to head down the hill to Folsom to see what I'm doing.

                  I'll be working on it this weekend - probably Sunday - you're welcome to stop by. You can check out my thread in the Pompeii forum to see the project.

                  Thanks
                  Dan

                    Hey All,
                    Does anyone have an IT that they wouldn't mind selling? I just got my brick and about to start building!

                    thanks,
                    Yeager

                      Yeager the it tools are not all that hard to build. Mine was a castor, turn buckle, threaded rod, some nuts and washers and a L bracket. I know I threw mine away when I was done as it was covered in mortar. If you need help send me a pm and I could help you build one.

                          I would be interested in an IT if anyone has one they would be willing to sell or loan. =)
