Beautiful final transition to an arch!

Thanks for the kind words, I was rather chuffed to pull it off.
I'll point you to " 82 cm build in Bugaria" in the Oven photos Section . Now that's a real classic and he did that with an angle grinder!
I found you pics, your doing well, but where's you build thread?
Regards Dave

Great to see your still around , I've always thanked you for you inspiration on my arch off course.
Couple of mths a ago a friend put me on to a new recipe for pizza dough using potato. I had a look ... Be bugg@ed it was your recipes that I had tried at a friends place after reading about it from you . The same post we had talked a out so long ago. Your uncle? Had insisted on potatoe in the dough. It was still on the net
Had a laugh ... My mate had eaten that same dough out of the freezer at my place ...never realised
Anyway how are you and yours ... Well I hope
As always
Regards dave

Hi Dave, yes I still come to this site from time to time.
That pizza recipe seems to be getting around lol. It was my brother inlaw that suggested I add potatoes to the recipe which I'm glad I listened to.

Your oven really is impressive and has me thinking I should do something about mine. Mine is still unfinished and really needs me working on it ASAP. My wife has been patient as it's not an eye sore but it could be so much more. You've inspired me so with Spring now here it's time to finish it off.

Hope all is well.. Oscar

That looks good Dave. Congratulations. Every new oven has something fresh to it and something that has been shared by others. That's evolution I suppose.

Re: cobblerdaves build

Wow! I love the igloo bricked, I had considered that in my build but I knew I couldn't pull it off and I was so sick of cutting brick by the time I got that far that I went with the stucco. Love the door and the recycled brick and your doors below are awesome too, which reminds me, I still need to have my lower door made; I've been too busy with pizza making to even think of it. I like your aesthetic.

Thanks goes to you Zene for the inspirational build . I saw your brickwork old brick mismatched colours ,vertical and horizontal layers, soft and hard. The dome I would never match that tile work. But it stuck in my mind.
V-Wiz did the brick veneer bit. And I thought yes this is possible!
I brought at the princely some of $10 another 75 odd bricks of some kids near home to complete the project with what I had left . (Yes the boys organized a barrow and helped load so there father excepted they had earned an extra $10 for there efforts)
Like Gulf says using" old brick is like working with stone " I am very pleased with the results. I do like old bricks.
I know its taken a few years to get from a functioning oven which was basically a dome with a square box on the front. Buts its been worth it .
Again my thanks
Regards dave

Beg to differ .... But it does work. Have you never used it brickie. Anyway it's perfect for my needs. Those old bricks I want to remove my lime scale only and leave the pantina of old mortar etc cause there old bricks and I want them to look that way.

It is good for what you did CD. Acid is often made too strong, and it attacks the mortar in the joints as much as cleans up staining.

No that will not be a problem. I have 50 mm of ceramic and 100 mm of rockwool , the outer surface will remain cool
I do not have a heat break so a little heat gets to the entrance but you will not feel it till next day . It's not hot but above the air temp so you could lay your hand on it all day. Chimney much the same, may be hot on the inside but by the time that heat migrates to the outer surfaces its quite cool.
Have a look at Karangi Dudes build he has a set of readings of how the heat migrates through the brick.

Re: cobblerdaves build

Nice looking oven Dave. you have done a great job!!!

Do you get any heat transfer through to the outer shell when you fire the old girl up?

Cheers,

Matt
