Al, that looks really good.

A couple of questions.

What's the bar top?

Are you going to start a thread on the idea you have for the stove?

Thanks again for the kind comment everyone. )t'

Hi Orfy, the bar top is made up of three pices of timber that were once uprights to support a church organ bellows.
There is a picture in this thread.

I will do a thread when I get round to making the stove, chances are it wont be for a while though. )t'

No doubt your great imagination and hard work has also increased the value of your property. Really good investment, don't you think? Outside space is considered very valuable when a person is selling a home. It would be nice to know how much value you have added. Do you know someone in the real estate game that could advise you?

Phase three the wood fired oven was started this morning. )c(
First thing take the tree out.

Image

Then build the stand for the oven.

Image

At the allotment I have some huge concrete slabs, I was goiing to pave a shed floor with them but the first one will be ideal for the base of the oven, I will be adding at least another inch of reinforced concrete inside the brick work.

Image

I have a cunning plan for the roof which hopefully will be on tomorrow. So far everything is recycled apart from sand and cement, I paid £21 for it this morning but wont be using all of it for the oven. )t'

Looking good Al.

Got the oven part finished today. )c(

Still got some cladding to do on the stand, I may put doors on the side of the stand and use it as a log store.
Tomorrow I am going to make some doors for the front of the oven out of metal. )t'
