On our oven, we did a stack of bricks on their side (about 9&#8243;) and one layer laying down (about 2&#8243;) .

Using an <a href=\"http:\/\/www.handymath.com\/cgi-bin\/arc18.cgi?submit=Entry\" target=\"_blank\">online circle calculator<\/a> with the measurements of the arch height (5.25&#8243;) and the chord length (straight-line distance between the two ends of the arch; 32.25&#8243;), I was able to determine the radius of the arch to be 27.39&#8243;. With the radius, you just need to make a line at that length, one end fixed and one with a pencil attached to it, \u00a0and use that to draw the curvature.<\/p>\n<p>If you don&#8217;t have internet access and need to figure out the radius, here&#8217;s the equation:<br \/>\n<strong><em>radius = (rise<\/em><\/strong><sup><strong><em>2 +<\/em><\/strong><\/sup><strong><em> (1\/2 width)<\/em><\/strong><sup><strong><em>2<\/em><\/strong><\/sup><strong><em>) \/ 2 x rise <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>rise is the height of the arch<br \/>\nwidth is the length of the chord<\/p>\n<p>Attach the two pieces of plywood with a few screws before cutting, and cut them as one piece to ensure that the curve matches. Use a jigsaw or a router set up to cut curves. Ultimately, the bricks will settle a bit so the curve doesn&#8217;t have to be cut perfectly, but try to get it close to make things easy.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, I&#8217;m finished using my jig and am selling it cheap &#8211; anyone who is looking for one but doesn&#8217;t have the tools\/time to make it (which would be weird, if you&#8217;re planning on building this oven), contact me via the link at the top of the page.<\/p>\n<p>Good luck building!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The temporary brick pizza oven I helped build got a lot of attention and a number of questions about the jig used to place the bricks into the arch.
