36 inch pompeii cad layout

[james]

We have now installed the Casa oven on top of the island hearth. It does take a little more effort, but I am feeling very good about how it is going to perform thermally. I can feel it in my bones. You can visualize how the entire oven is going to be enclosed in vermiculite.

In terms of expansion, the Precast ovens leave a definite gap between the floor and walls. If you do cut your floor, give it room, or it will push out.

hey buddy, would it be possible to ssend me a dxf file of your cad layout for my architect? There may be a free slice of pizza in it for you..

the cad drawings were very helpful in visualizing the intersection of the rings to the chimney arch. in the arch building, did you build an opening for the chimney?

do you think that cutting out (with a skill saw and diamond blade) an opening for the chimney would work? we thought that using a staggered building design would increase the strength of the arch and we would cut out a 8" by 6" (or whatever terra cotta chimney dimensions are).

I didn't know this post was intended for me! It's an old thread.

I uploaded the dxf file to my website:

http://arcadianclock.com/everything/chimney/pompeii.dxf

depending on how your browser handles non-web files, it might save the document to your desktop, or it might display a long text file. If so, copy the text, paste it in a notepad type utility, and save it as "name.dxf"

Note to civilians: unless you have a 3-D CAD application that imports DXF files, you're out of luck on this file.

The drawing is sloppy, each layer is ofset 60 inches, for brick counting. You can re-assemble the oven by moving the layers 5 feet each in the X negative direction.
