Note the wash tub beneath the oven. I thought at first the shelf alone was supported by the shaky looking broken cinder block at the end but it appears the oven itself is at least in part supported as the wash tub beneath is deeper than the width of the shelf.

Anyway, a fun site for those wishing to kill a few minutes.

Bests,
Wiley

I think we should keep this one around for people who want to build their ovens on wooden stands.
