Today I wrapped up the cob oven project at Lookout Mountain with a final layer of lime plastering.
It’s been really cold here in the nights and mornings, which hasn’t been good conditions for plastering with lime, but we made it work in the end.
I’m just glad that it’s finished successfully. Now we can start baking pizzas!
Here’s a video I made showing the building process from day one up until today. I hope you enjoy.

I enjoyed watching this, but it would be more helpful with commentary.
I have to agree with you Lois about the commentary however, I still liked the video very much. I am going on fifty and have no building experience at all and would have nobody to help me with this. Would I be able to make one of these houses myself?
It looks good, however I would not put the firebrick in rows, but offset them in order to create a stronger base.
