The Arches Hold

The three rows of dome bricks have been completed. Look Ma, not supports and it is still standing! The sides are supported until the concrete sets. The next task is to build up the facade walls so there is support for the front of the oven.

 
   The facade walls have been completed and the front arch is built. The supports are temporary until the mortar sets. The next step is to fill in the sides and build up the facade some more.
   The facade arch takes shape. This needed to be completed so the chimney could be built up some more. Note that the side holes have also been filled. The outside is not the smooth but the inside fairly much follows the correct shape.
