Thanks everyone.

Hi mate yeh sorry about the delay, ive been trying to get them all on a cd for you. Theres litterally 100's of pics all dotted about in my other project folders as I had 4 restos on the go at the time.

They are nearly sorted.

As for the paint totally forgot. Ive got 1 1/2 liters out side, its yours if your want it

I dont have any skills, its much simpler than that..........I just go and do it. Its what ive said all along to people, just go for it, it either works or it doesnt. its just trial and error, common sence and patience.

Oh forgot the pizza oven I sure am gonna miss this bad boy, more than the cars!!!

Well as you all know I have a strange relationship with fire.

(see link if you dont know what im on about)

Today ive been doing some more work on our pizza hut, as ive run out of parts to re-rebuild the rs1600i.

Here is what we started with a few weeks back

The original location of the pond soon to be pizza hut






The new pond








Note chicken wire to stop our chickens riping up the grass seed





The pizza oven


Trees removed and burned






Wall and patio in


Concrete base in and oak beams in




The oven



Former/mould for oven (paper mache like been at school again)


Mould for brick arch


Oak Roof on

Covered in Cedar shingles



Fire her up



Today i ran out of parts to carry on with the RSi so tiled the floor this afternoon.








I just love oak, check out the detail in the octagon roof

And the cedar shingles


Now just need to build the bench seats and a table. Thinking marble table with a hot plate in the middle to cook steaks or keep stuff warm?

Going to put roller shutters made of canvas on the open top parts so we can sit in there in the winter and stay warm from the fire..............
Just make sure the Rsi is not parked near (those of you who know of me will understand)

Hope you liked it, i cant wait to make my first pizza!

Barrel of beer will be stored under the oven, will make a £1 pot. so every pint I put a pound in.= constant flow of beer!

Right this mornings efforts.

Grouted



MintFRST heres the light


As you can see you just need to replace it with a GU10 holder



We have had a smoke issue so ill be making some doors today


As well as the center table with hot plate for steaks and stuff, may be even fried breakfasts

My sisters old barby


Canabilsm commences


One of thses barrels will become out bbq that sits in the oven


Anyone want some Rs1600i parts, used but never raced,rolled or rallied


Sexy new diamond disk






Vid




Weld it back together




Chop up the gas pipe


weld


Front


Et voila, this will be sunk in the middle of the table




Spare burners will go in oven so we can do a roast dinner


T and G, have put a router bevel in and painted it in POSH farrel and ball duck egg blue

Ill be back................
Cheers guys, it just started as a bit of fun. 9 out of 10 bbqs end up rain or stong wind as we are so exposed up here.

So i came up with the idea of building a gazebo style structure with heat. and canvas sides which we can rool down to have total weather protection, the idea being we can use it all year round, as there plenty of heat from the fire!

Well here what todays events lead to.

After my post this morning on the bbq reincorination into a hot plate, i went to get some more wood


This is the new BBQ, the idea being it can sit in the pizza oven, smoke goes up the chimney, everyones happy!

My best mate has one of thses and its honestly the best bbq ive ever cooked on............
Take one of these and drink the contents










simple but very effective!!!


Right doors.
template


copper sheet


steel


weld


paino hindge




Cut and shape copper






This is the front, to be lined with oak maybe tommrow?


and the back which takes the heat (note hindges for pizza flap )


fitted



Front (ugly as hell but will look the nuts when covered in oak )


The center table, its 3/4 marine grade (shutter) ply. The finished top will be marble, hope to have that made up in the week

Establishing height with an old table


the new pedastal




With hot plate


Will return, cant wait to get this baby fired up and cooking

Well getting there now.

Just got to order up the marble for the table, sort the oak facing on the oven doors, make some removable canvas curtains.

And these jobbies.

Spent hours trying to work out what to do.

2 half round built in benches were the original idea, hence the creme leather dining chair you may have seen floating around as this was the template shape.

But making a mock up theres just not enough room to get in and out.

Thought about a bench again but this time folding in 6 segments, but there were then issues of rain water running down peoples backs, even with the canvas curtains fitted. when we have a extreme hardcore winter bbqs and pizzas!

so plan c

Individual Stalls. This way they are easy to get in and out and have the option of putting on the patio, and also the optiion of having the hut as a cooking area if we have a party.

THere was a bit of oak left from the roof.

So heres what it looked like after running it through a few machines




The idea is the seat tops are removable, so they can be stored inside out of the weather! clever hey




Right time for an update

When the wind blows across the field we were having smoke issues, but this I mean coming out the front rather than the chimney




Copper doors are in the bin!!!!!!!!

I just got back from doing a job in south france/pyrenees where we went out for pizza one night, so managed to check out their oven in detail.

They had 2 chambers with the chimney in the middle, and it worked a treat.....so.......

mock up to see if it worked



It worked, so time to lay...Im not going to explain how ive done this as hopefully the pics explain it well enough?





You may remember marble tables were the plan, but after thinking about it, it seemed too risky, as the heat from the hot plate and a "weak" area created buy the hot plate hole in the marble, we decided it would probably crack



Also in the pyrennes we came across this idea...............

So got some steel and got my welder out (will let pics explain)




Miters


+ reinforced steel




= this







That was the easy one.....

It took about 2 hours to cut the steel for the octagon


Template













as you can see buy the sun angle it was a long day


Tempoary base made up



polythene



coco


concrete



not bad for a days work


oak base made up



concrete tiled and grouted






Now all thats left is

- put stools together and make seat covers
- make all weather side screens for the hut
- plumb in gas for hot plate



cant wait to get a pizza in there!
Arch made up for brick work template...........anyone else thinking Thomas the tank engine



Just hope we have enough bricks left, These soft reds are 80p each (cash) about £1 invoice!!!!


Oak trim with pegs round table


Hot plate for rump steaks and sunday morning fry ups all plumbed in and ready to go


Oak trim on floor to finish off panneling. 1/8" gap to allow water to escape


Oak door to help keep extra heat in if doing a roast dinner or stew pot
weighs a ton




The oak chairs are coming on, this is a mock up of the back rest made in rough marine ply to test for comfort and fitment


Tested oven out, did some cheese on toast...........its fucking hot!!!
