More brick work during the last two days has grown the oven to the point that I can share these photos.

I did quite a bit of brick cutting today to make the pesky triangular pieces that fill in where the body of the oven gets narrowed down to the mouth. I wish my hand-held brick cutter could make deeper cuts so that I didn’t have to make the final separations by wacking with a hammer. Each triangular wedge got broken in the wacking process, so I’ve had to stack the broken pieces, mortar around them and hope they hold. I think it will be OK.
Tomorrow I start making the forms that will hold the buttressing concrete in place around sides and back.
