 Re: More progress in Australia
An update on my oven.........
When I was working bricks around the transition over the inner arch I knew the dome had gone a bit out of round – but towards closing the dome it becomes really oval and a challenge to get it looking ok. Anyway I ended up using lots of smaller pieces as the dome closed (some angles cut previously), so not a lot of mortar gaps, but some odd looking patterns! Some cutting and grinding got me two keystones which I had to tap into place – this dome definitely won’t collapse!
Last photo shows ready to build the outer arch and flue opening. Still not 100% sure how it will come together………. |
