I went the no frills route when I discovered I needed something to help keep my dome in the round while building. Here's my patent pending, low-tech, String Alignment System (SAS).
It's nothing more than an eye screw in a piece of wood at the exact center of the oven floor. The picture shows the eye screw in a dowel. I've since removed the dowel. Works better with the eye screw down low.
The string is mason's string (Home stores). Mason's string doesn't stretch (very important!)
Here are the fabulous things that you can do with a SAS:
1. Determine the angle for cutting your bricks (if you are using cut-to-fit bricks).
2. Use the string for assuring the oven walls stay round during construction. On your first brick, tie a knot in the string at exactly the point where the inner edge of the brick should sit. As you lay each brick in the course, pull the string snug and place it over the brick to check the position.
In this picture, I'm checking alignment of the first brick with my foam board profile and assuring the knot is in the right place.
Tie a new knot for each new course.
SAS is not sold in stores or anywhere else! Order now, and you'll get two, that's right, TWO SAS systems for the price of one. Your friends will be amazed, your family will be in awe, your oven will cook PIZZA... Not available for purchase in the continental United States, Hawaii, Alaska, Guam, or anywhere else worldwide!
