Hi All
I have begun Oven Mk2. This will take some time as I will need to do bits and pieces of the rear garden while doing the oven. Yard excavation completed, crushed rock in and can now start the base slab. My aim is to get the base slab layed in next few weeks.Last edited by oasiscdm; 09-16-2018, 01:30 AM.

Hey Colin,
I made an assumption the KD is okay with me restoring his posts so I went through the first 50 pages of your thread and restored KD's posts. Looking forward to seeing WFO number 2.

Hi Russell
I have just been reading some of my earlier posts and noticed that all of doug's posts are missing in my thread. are they able to be recovered or is it too late.
He provided a lot of information in my thread that seem to be missing.
Cheers

G'day
My intent was to find out what you were doing so I could get notifications of your progress.
Now your asking and I have had a think about it, probably a separate build thread with references back to your build and others which have influenced you as a builder.
A short read or a longer one if your going to follow the links.
As a good old friend would put it "just saying" cause I'll follow with interest anyway
Regards Dave

Hi Dave
Was thinking of adding it to this thread. What do you think?
Will be a much smaller thread as you say all reference back to original thread.
The slab will be.much simpler as I don't have to build it into an existing deck with cantilever to give me my base size. Will build with piers though. The rest will be identical to first build.
That's why might just leave it in this thread change heading if I can for new location.

G'day Colin
Interested to watch another oven build. Q. Are you going to include it in this thread or are you going to start a new, referencing you original work?
Regards dave

Hi Russell
Have most of what I need for the oven. 75mm Hearth slabs 610x305, 300 arch firebricks. Will get Hebel blocks and panels as I need them. I am looking at having the hearth and external oven surrounds all at the same height this time. Table around the oven will be quite sizable 2.5mx2m with storage underneath for around 2 cubic metres of wood. then will pick up shiralite, ceramic blanket, render also when I need it.

Hey Colin,
Glad to see that you are able to start to acquire materials for your new build. I am looking forward to seeing the progression.

hi David
i priced doing it that way, was a little cheaper, but i do want stainless on outside as it looks better. Check my original build. The colourbond idea has given me an idea especially if I could get a matt black outer pipe that may look somewhat better. I might look into that.Last edited by oasiscdm; 06-01-2018, 11:33 PM.

Colin, That's still very expensive. I presume the 250 mm (10") is the diam of the outer pipe. To make it more affordable you don't need to use stainless for the outer pipe, it can be colour bond. Any sheet metal shop can make this for you in any length. Insulated will improve performance and you can do this easily by stuffing some ceramic fibre blanket in the one inch space between the two pipes at the base, then filling it with perlite or vermiculite then stuffing the top with blanket also. I did this for the double flue for my kiln and have done other ovens this way too, when they protrude through a roof. If you get a cowl with a skirt it will fit inner and outer pipes e.g.. 8" and 10"Last edited by david s; 06-01-2018, 05:46 AM.

Hi All
In my first build, I imported my flue system [Superpro] from the states. Since the same system is now around $1200 [previously $550] imported.
In my search for an insulated flue system for my next oven, I stumbled on this.
https://www.timelessclassicwoodstoves.com/
They have 1m double insulated flue, 250mm double insulated flue, joined makes it 1250mm long, weld a plate to base of short length to create an adaptor plate, a double to single skin joiner and anti downdraught flue for $600 delivered.
They are based in Adelaide. Will be ordering shortly.

Hi Shane sorry for not getting back to you. i have not been on site for a while. Wow you read the whole thing, impressive.
Not sure where you get 4 cuts from. i cut each brick thrice. I worked out the size of my oven by experimenting with various different tapered bricks so it formed the dome arch size i wanted photos in thread. So no cutting. I then constructed [or a mate did] a compound mitre brick saw tray. So only needed to set up each brick, then, if i remember, it needed cutting once, then put on other side cut again rotated and then cut again on other side. for 3 cuts.
guessing you have finished your oven by now

Gday Colin,
Has taken me a few days but have read most of your posts.
I was looking for the answer on whether or not cutting the tapered bricks on the cutting jig had any effect? I have similar tapered bricks and am thinking about building a jig, but it seems to me that the front to back taper of the brick will effect the cutting angles.
Or at the least the bricks would have to be cut in half and then tapered cutting from each side of the blade as they wouldn't be able to be flipped like i think it was in MrChipsters jig.
Edit: disregard, figured it out. Needs to be done in 4 cuts.
Cheers
