        I can only agree with tropicalcoasting
        wallaby bakers flour is very good, coles and safeway stock the 5kg version, if you want to save little bit then in dandenong hindustan imports or whatever it is called on greens road have 10KG and 20KG bags, works out cheaper (flour have year expiration if i remember correctly)

              So I guess consensus has it.- Like oils ain't oils.flour ain't flour unless it's wallaby.

              Thanks guys.

                Im sure there are other good brands but not as cheap or convenient and with minimal difference in the end result(if any), making it not worth the effort to search them out.

                  I concur although I'm a paella fan and spent a fair bit of time searching for calasparra rice and it makes a huge difference, I was quite impressed with the difference actually.

                  But I guess flour is always used with additives to make final product.

                      Ok after 2 months of no work on the wfo I was able to get back to the oven for a few hours. one brick and keystone left on the dome. Got in to clean the inside a little.

                      I was very annoyed with one cut on that last course. It is odd, but I decided to leave it as I would have needed to take a few out to rectify it.

                      I was thinking of having the keystone protrude into the oven by about 25mm has anyone done that previously? Not sure why I want to do this just feel like doing it.

                        Ok I wasn't going to post this picture [due to the huge massive big gut] ut in the pursuit of equality of those that have regardless of girth, here it is.

                        I got in the oven to clean the bricks and noticed that I have made a slipup. With the lower dome and arch bricks I noticed that the top of the dome is a little lower than it is meant to be eg. drooping a little I estimate about 15mm. Should have cut the angle off the back of the brick as well as the front of the brick.

                          Why would you want to interrupt the laminar flow of the gasses?

                            Colin,
                            Don't give it another thought, it will make no difference to the way the thing will perform. If you could measure the difference you'd find there'd be none. But don't increase the error by making it even lower by protruding the keystone.
                            Forget it and forge on.

                              thx guys.

                              Got back in and measured it. It isn't 15mm its only about 5ish mm instead of flat over the last 3 courses

                              In relation to having the keystone lower I just felt it was more aesthetically pleasing with what i'm doing to finish the key.
