Hello Thomas,
I made the cob oven.
I'm not sure if it'll work yet, as it's only just finished.
Took the sand out and now it's drying out.
Made a unit next to it for plates and just becausemy daughter suggested the idea, so she's happy now.
Decided to make a 15% trial maquette oven first, before I do a bigger one.
My parents had just dug up an old pool at their house, tested their clay and it's great for making the cob.
Very exciting taking the sand out of it and seeing it still standing.
Not quite finished shaping the outside, building the base out at the front and widening the chimney too I think. Got a bit more bricklaying to do with the cob yet and building up the left of the unit.
I think I can easily make sculptures with this stuff and paint it, it's fantastic. I've never used it before, great find. Thanks for your advice Thomas.
