I find it very interesting that it was invented in Africa. After I posted that picture, I couldn't believe I didn't say anything about it in my tools list! It's like having another person there helping you, except that there is no moaning or complaining or offers of dubious advice :) I also love how it folds up very compactly to store away between work sessions. Today I used it to hold three arch bricks that I beveled into a keystone shape with my brick saw. Dave – thanks for the background info about the Workmate clamping bench.

Cheers Dave Oven looks great Hi Chris,

I've been looking into building one of those for a few years now. Can't seem to decide on a location in the yard, being as New England winters can be bitter proximity to the home is a factor. Anyway keep up the great work and I hope to see more photos soon. A fellow (soon to be) oven builder in Connecticut..Don P Hello Chris & Vaughn,

I have just finished our oven and my wife is baking mega-bread. Our neighbour is deeply envious and wants one for herself but, like you were, is not sure she can manage it - with not much input from her husband let us mention. I have introduced her to Rado's website and will now let her know about yours. She is a very able and energetic person and I am sure your experience will be enough to convince her. Good luck, I am really looking forward to pictures of the bread. Regards Dave Hi Chris,
