Forms done, first course is in!

 Labor Day 2020 

The forms are to set an interior dome height of 18 inches and an oven door opening of 18 inches... and the interior diameter is 36 inches... I seriously thought about going with a Golden Ratio of 29 but the bricks fit better this way!


To cut all of the complex angles we used a miter saw with a diamond blade. This is the first time we've mixed high temp mortar.  It takes a little getting used to.

At this pace, looks like an October "first fire."

The rest should go pretty fast - good thing too - it's September in Northern Wisconsin so cold weather is just around the corner.  As I said in my earlier post, I can't remember a nicer summer.  We raised Black Krim tomatoes this year from seeds.  Soooo good!  If you've never had this heirloom variety you are missing a very pleasant taste treat!
