It's not about the pizza or money. What I see here is a man with patience and passion. We need more people like you in this world. I hope I raise my son and daughter to some day put their minds to building things and using their time wisely in life instead of waste it on an iPad.
Dani Diamond There are many people like this in the world. Thing is. You cant find them because they are doing exactly exactlt this. In or around their homes.
Erre LPS exactly the same for me....watched the whole thing and couldn’t agree more with the comment on hard work. That’s some build quality on that thing 👍🏻
Hello, my grandfather started working at a brickyard when he was 9, that was 1930. He started to learn to lay brick from the old German immigrants who worked there building and repairing the kilns. He spent the next 64 years working as a brick and stone mason and was laying Bedford stone just a week prior to his death. The term he used for the tool you referred to as the "indispensable tool" was a "sweep". He used to tell me stories about his childhood during the great depression when I was a child, and had described to me in great detail how they had built the brick kilns at the brick yard so many decades before. My father followed in his footsteps and at the age of 70 is still a mason. I worked the trade for over twenty years before giving it up to pursue a more stable source of income. I miss it some days, but not the pain. ;) The video brought back childhood memories of my grandfather, so thank you. I may just have to build a brick oven in the future. You did a nice job.
Can you please give us your information to contact someone in your family to build brick ovens ? I would like to Cary on the tradition an show respect to the people in your family who worked so hard to advance the culture please start to do it worldwide your possibilities are endless
I had the lucky opportunity to work with an old Norwegian brick layer back in the 90's when I was a teenager. He told me stories of growing up during WW2 and showed me a lot about laying brick. He was always joking around and was just a great old guy, fun to work with.
That s the final brick... I was totally amazed how much time it takes and i live in europe germany, and we have a lot of pizza and barbequeing. But If I had this oven everybody wouöd visit me and I would be the italian cook. I am impressed to build such a thing nowdays. Thanx for sharing this Moment
I just searched “how to build a brick pizza oven” and watched your video.....my next search is going to be “contractors near me that will build a brick pizza oven.”
If you want cheaper and easier, look into how to make a "mud oven" or "earthen oven." Mine is not as nice as this, but it was so much cheaper and works great.
@Brian Heim yeah. You do it all the way or you dont do it at all. Our kinds have to learn that self esteem doesn't come from your parents. It comes when you accomplish something.
Sweet Mother! That is the greatest brick oven EVER! You are next level, sir. I don't know where you live, but I live in Texas and I'm on the way there.....
as a brick layer i have found using a 3/4 inflated swiss ball helps to create the curve without using all the timber bracing! However you did a great job for a DIYer
I've built a few of these and I set the soldier course first. Parge around brick to hold them. Then I fill with pond/dead sand which packs into shape then for a final coating I use fine sand with just a little cement to get final shape. Then I just lay the brick around sand form. Quick parge when done to set them before I start with the insulating cement. I pull sand out and bingo it's done. This is a 2 day process. I give anyone credit for tackling a complex project. bravo.
ignorance goes in both direction. Even my comment was ignorant to some degree. The thing about all 3 of us is that it makes sense / is offensive to someone else / is funny to some degree is - there is some truth in it. @ Noah P - always remember that some people on the internet get their kicks from offending others by leaving ignorant comments - how you deal with it is up to you.

DUDE! That was mesmerizing! By far the finest tutorial I've ever watched. AMAZING! TY. BTW, for everyone saying "Just BUY A Pizza", A WoodFire Oven bakes everything from Artisan Breads to Baked Beans. :-p
If this is your first time making this oven, either you are very talented or you have watched the oven making many times. You did a great job. I will try to make it with envy of you..congratulations
When you say bags of cement, I guess you mean bags of premixed concrete. But what made me watch was the ingenious device you used to brick the dome. A radial stick. So simple. I guess that's a traditional method. As I'm renovating a old home I'm loving researching and learning the traditional methods they used back then.
I am getting ready to build one in the backyard but I cannot imagine this is the best way to go. I plan on gluing up styrofoam blocks together. Use a hot wire to shape the entire oven in a block form. Put the form on the base with fire brick base. Make a cement form around it and pour refractive cement over the top. Cut out the foam and put a blanket over it with wire and finish it off much like what was done here. Casting refractive cement just seems so much easier than builcing a brick dome.
Man, you have been getting a lot of negative feedback so I wanted to chime in and say that I learnt a lot by simply watching this video. In other words, at first I had no idea how to build one of these, and not I have LOTS of ideas on how it is done. Which is exactly what RUclips videos are about. Thanks for putting it together!!!!! Truly appreciate it!
@@sl1kr1ky the purpose of the dibbler is to get a consistent spacing and plane for each brick and row, you can't do that with a sand dome. Atleast not as an amateur. There are people who use sand but then they don't use bricks, they use clay.
That's a nice project man. I really like it. I see you built it with next generations in mind, because with that amount of cement in the concrete, this thing will last for ages.
Few suggestions. Use fibermesh in concrete instead of rebar/wire mesh. Those will rust. Shoukda used refractory mortar for the dome. And a dome should be made out of sand first. Then you can lay the brick right in top Of the sand. Then scoop the sand out ince it's dried. Never have curing fires till at least a week after it's built. Alll you did was weaken the mortar by shortening its curing time drastically.
if he had thought of it and connected the brickwall with the foundation (with rebars and cement) he probably could have used that oven as a tornado shelter!
Great work! I just finished mine and here are a few things I found helpful: 1) Soak the bricks before you cut them. They cut easier, the diamond blade lasts a lot longer and the amount of dust is way less. 2) When I got to the last 4-5 rows at the top, the gaps got really big. I beveled my bricks on these so that the gaps were much smaller. The bevel angle will be larger as the circles get smaller. 3) I used a grout bag with mortar and laid on my back inside the oven to fill any gaps from the inside. 4) I built my arch according to the measurements below, but then I couldn't find a door to fit it. I spent a full day cutting and welding a door. It looks great, but you may want to buy a door first, then build your arch to fit it.
This is why I am thinking of making a rectangular oven like a half of a barrel so there is less cutting and less gaps between bricks and less work in general. What do you think bad idea? I know there will be cool spots in the corners but that is good i can cook knowing that in certain parts of oven it will be cooler.
A rectangular one would be easier and I considered it. I decided I’m only building 1 so I went with the dome, but it is hotter near the fire anyway. I’ll try to add a couple pic.
I built one of these years ago, i`t is interesting watching your process. The one thing I found was the bottom opening was too big and became a junk collector. I only used the front 3 feet for would storage. My upper slab was a mix. The first 4 inches was reinforced concrete but the upper 4 inches was a mix of vermiculite and mortar cement as a heat insulator. I didn’t use the ceramic pad. I then used a mixture of crushed glass and sand for my heat slip. For my chimney, I had a local metal shop make a peak chimney instead of building a dome which he was also able,to build a door. I do like that center rod for keeping the angle. I used the traditional `cut wood angle pieces. The building that it was used at burnt `to` the ground and after the fire the only thing left was my pizza oven. They ended up tearing it down for fear of heat damage to the cement blocks. We cooked thousand upon thousands of pizzas over a 10 year period. For wood, I `found that hard would that was dry for at least Two years worked the best and we kept the pieces to a 2 inch diameter. This reduced the “steam” effect. Oh how I remember the mess `from cutting the heat bricks. Great job.
Good stuff Bro, this Is the Pizza Power , many people all over the world enjoined by this magic, simple and genial food. You manufactured this oven with many ,many. Love. My Compliment and best wishes to you ,your family ad your brick oven from Italy !!! 👍👍👍
Wow. This is one heck of a project. Well explained and your success was mainly by the well preparation. There was not one boring moment in the video. 👍
When you lay brick, you wipe your trowel on the edges of the brick to mud the bottom and sides before you lay it. You don't squorsh mud down into the cracks after you set the brick. You put too much mud on the brick so when you set it, mud squorshes out. You use your trowel handle to tap it down level, and then scrape off the excess with your trowel. This gives you space between the bricks completely filled, and cleaner brick. You don't end up with all that mess smeared all over the brick.
I watched it a year ago.. i thought about it and watched it again after a year to review what were the challenging parts.. it's really a great source of info and the video is really well done short and long enough.. thanks a lot !
My respect, gentleman you are a master. I do things but that Owen is a masterpiece. That is a thing that I have in my projects and let me tell you that you are the model to follow. Those Owens are great tey cook perfect.
Absolutely wonderful video! I've always dreamed of having my own brick oven. Having a brick oven obsession along with loving to build things and loving to cook, this video was as good as any blockbuster I've ever seen at a theater. LOL!😁 Thank you for sharing your project.
In 4,000 years someone in a post apocalyptic world will dig this oven up(it will be a 100 feet underground and upside down from the nuclear blast) and be able to just reset it the right way up before being able to start using it again. Outstanding over engineering!
I mean really Props to you. You could see how much effort you put into this video but without any disrespect why did I just a took 13 minutes of my life watching this video even though it's really good one but safe knowing that I'm never going to build such a thing myself. But heey. Enjoy your pizza. Greetings from Germany.
Shawn, Nice job on the oven and on making the video for us to enjoy. I love making pizza and am envious of your oven. I was wondering if you could help me if I build an oven. I don't need any help in the construction end. I need help explaining to my wife why I need a pizza oven in the backyard. Great Job!!!
mkdnreed01. Man up, slap her about and then get her to make it while you sit down have a beer and relax. The world is full of feminists now so...............
My wife was the prime motivator for our oven. She signed us to a week-long course in bread-making with wood-fired ovens just to excite my appetite. It also served as a wonderful father-son project. I did the research, design, and materials acquisition. He must have provided 2/3 of the energy input. It's a great basis for a party. I'm the pizzaiolo and she makes the dough and creates new recipes. Building the fire and heating the oven takes 2-3 hours, but I like splitting logs and stoking fires.
It's easier to build dome out of bricks using hemispherical styrofoam model. It's cheap and easy to order. When the brick dome is ready, you just brake the styrofoam model from the inside of the dome and take it's pieces out.
So let me ask you this, since you know some shortcuts on things... I’m currently trying to fold space, execute intergalactic travel, or at the very least ascertain if a wormhole can be created. My theory is that I do not need a lot of space, but more so power. I’m using a railgun of sorts, in that magnets are pushing a capsule. Standard setup, more “oompf” over “ahh”. In the horizontal cylinder, I’m trying to create a wave affect, where the magnetism bursts, and recoil enhance each other. I’ve tried flaring at different levels along each cell of the cylinder, and it’s worked perfectly. I was able to catapult my dog at 7.8 x’s Lightspeed; as far as my homogenous algorithms show. He’ll be back in about 11 years, and only be 5 months older. Given everything I’ve told you so far, can I put some foam in the flare areas, burn them, and make my dick bigger? Lol Just kidding. That was a good tidbit of info to know; I’m building a smoker soon.
Now that you’ve had this oven for some years, is there anything you would do differently if you had to do it again? Is the size too big/small for how much pizza you make? Does it take too much wood to bring to temp? I’m a single guy, so I was going to make one of those yoga ball domes (seems much smaller than what you did) and I don’t want to make it too small to do a couple pizzas at a time. Any insight would be appreciated.
24 inch is good for one pizza and 28 is good for two pizzas at a time. But these cook fast like 3 minutes so even if you had to do one at a time it should be ok. But I would go with 28" so you can cook bread and lots of things at once. 32" would be even better. If you want to save yourself lots of work instead of circular oven do a half a barrel oven. That way the circles are only in one axis. I think half a steel 55 gallon barrel would be great as long as it is raised few inches higher.
I have watched many YT DIY videos, and this is among the most concise and efficient one. To the point and covers most of the tricky situations you came upon. I would appreciate if you could let me know what was the inside diameter of the base, and also the specs of the materials you used, such as the cement, the bricks and the insulation. How is the oven holding up now after so many years of use?
te pasaste viejo ...! es una belleza y lo mejor es que funciona, gracias por compartir, saludos desde Chile ... ¡al sur del mundo! (pass you old ...! that beauty and the best thing is that it works. Beautiful work, thanks for sharing, greetings from Chile .... to the South of the world!)

It is a bettest méthod!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is a man who really loves pizza. Bravo!
Genius idea using the stick hinged in the centre to create the dome. Safe to say your oven will still be around for the next few millennia! Great job

For a guy who's never had an interest in building a brick oven, I was really interested in watching you build a brick oven. Very cool, dood.
Wow that was a labour of love. I was surprised that the concrete blocks weren't cemented together but it worked out great.
How did you secure the chicken wire to the bricks? Very nice turnout!

Thing is though, your pizza will continue to be mediocre, and his will be fuckin amazing.
Prioritys...
+Cris Lerose yes , you can cook 2 pizzas
whoa there. no such thing as bad pizza
Thank you for making this video. I have been wanting to build one of these for 10 years. I will use your tutelage to make mine!
I wish I had a home of my own to do this , but really want to say young man SALUTE! Wonderful video and job well done
And this is just his FIRST pizza oven. Because after that he built several more
When you lay brick, you wipe your trowel on the edges of the brick to mud the bottom and sides before you lay it. You don't squorsh mud down into the cracks after you set the brick. You put too much mud on the brick so when you set it, mud squorshes out. You use your trowel handle to tap it down level, and then scrape off the excess with your trowel. This gives you space between the bricks completely filled, and cleaner brick. You don't end up with all that mess smeared all over the brick.
You obviously have no idea what you are talking about.
Squorsh isn't even a word.
What does it matter? It was going to be covered with the fiberglass and mortar insulation anyway.
@@szeddezs I didn't even bother to explain it to him. He wouldn't have even understood your point.
I watched it a year ago.. i thought about it and watched it again after a year to review what were the challenging parts.. it's really a great source of info and the video is really well done short and long enough.. thanks a lot !

Let’s get to the real questions, 6 months in, how much do you use it? And was it worth it?
Wife: This Dominoes Pizza sucks.
Hubby: Hold my beer.
LOL! How true!
Wife: this dominoes pizza sucks
Hubby: get the fuck out lol

🤝🤝🤝👍👍👍👆😉😉😉
Wow! You did one heck of a Job, Your Family will be pleased!
My respect, gentleman you are a master. I do things but that Owen is a masterpiece. That is a thing that I have in my projects and let me tell you that you are the model to follow. Those Owens are great tey cook perfect.
My goodness, it's massive, your oven! Hope you get to cook more in it than "just" pizza. :-)
Absolutely wonderful video! I've always dreamed of having my own brick oven. Having a brick oven obsession along with loving to build things and loving to cook, this video was as good as any blockbuster I've ever seen at a theater. LOL!😁
Thank you for sharing your project.
After watching this vid wish I am into wearing hats cuz hats off to you bro. Excellent job!!!
A pizza oven is my next project. Great video and appreciate the time lapse and narrative.

Ballsy at the end standing on your project ! Hands down awsome video and great job . 100% !
neris masiulis those domes can support a ton of weight.
Sounds like it
neris masiulis he used over 60 bags of cement.. Even if they were the 40 pound bags .... He'd be like 5 of those bags
Yea, I was a bit nervous getting up there, but I knew it could support me and a LOT more.
In 4,000 years someone in a post apocalyptic world will dig this oven up(it will be a 100 feet underground and upside down from the nuclear blast) and be able to just reset it the right way up before being able to start using it again. Outstanding over engineering!
Dude, you worked your ass off. Excellent job of engineering and execution. Bon Appetit!
Whew, after this I need to watch a video of somebody fishing.
I mean really Props to you. You could see how much effort you put into this video but without any disrespect why did I just a took 13 minutes of my life watching this video even though it's really good one but safe knowing that I'm never going to build such a thing myself. But heey. Enjoy your pizza. Greetings from Germany.
Unsure if actually just a pizza oven, or actually an above-ground mini bomb shelter
Cool video! Nearly 11 million viewers can't be wrong.
The best off the best my friend, congratulation.
When 🎶the moon 🎵hits your eye like a big pizza pie ... That's amore❤️
Shawn, Nice job on the oven and on making the video for us to enjoy. I love making pizza and am envious of your oven. I was wondering if you could help me if I build an oven. I don't need any help in the construction end. I need help explaining to my wife why I need a pizza oven in the backyard. Great Job!!!
MKDNREED01.Sir if you do need to Explain to your wife why you need a pizza oven in the backyard. YOU DO HAVE A REAL BIG PROBLEM..
mkdnreed01. Man up, slap her about and then get her to make it while you sit down have a beer and relax. The world is full of feminists now so...............
why would you even need to explain that? who wouldn’t want a pizza oven in thier back yard?
I'd marry you both just to get a husband who understand the importance of wood-fired pizza and would actually finish a job he started.
My wife was the prime motivator for our oven. She signed us to a week-long course in bread-making with wood-fired ovens just to excite my appetite. It also served as a wonderful father-son project. I did the research, design, and materials acquisition. He must have provided 2/3 of the energy input. It's a great basis for a party. I'm the pizzaiolo and she makes the dough and creates new recipes. Building the fire and heating the oven takes 2-3 hours, but I like splitting logs and stoking fires.
I came back 2 years later to watch again and be impressed again
Thankfully after the nuclear war, we'll still have this pizza oven to use.
Yeah, we can use it as a bunker, this guy certainly likes concrete, and over-engineering !
Man, I was looking for a comment likes yours,,,,, complete overkill.
He didn't put any horizontal bar in the stack of cinders
Lol
I think this is strong enough for the Empire State Building to be on.
Damn the construct skills this man got right there 👌
Amazing work Shawn! Your video and tips will be a blessing in my future attempt. Thanks for sharing!

I would've gone nuts 14 days without pizza
Great job
Oh my god you took 20 days on this video. hard work you are but thank you so much for your share it.
Muy buena construcción es el mejor horno que he visto
It's easier to build dome out of bricks using hemispherical styrofoam model. It's cheap and easy to order.
When the brick dome is ready, you just brake the styrofoam model from the inside of the dome and take it's pieces out.
КПРФ Ставропольского края or just light the Styrofoam on fire like they do when making concrete covered drainage culverts
So let me ask you this, since you know some shortcuts on things... I’m currently trying to fold space, execute intergalactic travel, or at the very least ascertain if a wormhole can be created. My theory is that I do not need a lot of space, but more so power. I’m using a railgun of sorts, in that magnets are pushing a capsule. Standard setup, more “oompf” over “ahh”.
In the horizontal cylinder, I’m trying to create a wave affect, where the magnetism bursts, and recoil enhance each other. I’ve tried flaring at different levels along each cell of the cylinder, and it’s worked perfectly. I was able to catapult my dog at 7.8 x’s Lightspeed; as far as my homogenous algorithms show.
He’ll be back in about 11 years, and only be 5 months older. Given everything I’ve told you so far, can I put some foam in the flare areas, burn them, and make my dick bigger?
Lol Just kidding. That was a good tidbit of info to know; I’m building a smoker soon.
You can also burn the styrofoam wit a hair dryer
Maybe, but styrofoam is not biodegradable.
Can you provide a link where I can purchase one?
Amazing man. 👏
Very cool job finishing a unique project. I love classic brick oven pizza. Bon Apatite!
What i expected: Pizza oven.
What i got: Fuehrerbunker, scale 1:100.
Why don't you and the likes of you go sit on a stick?!
@@IvanIvanov-vy7pt because the likes of us can't just build a stick like that..
I hope god blesses me with a man like this one day 😂
I made a square one, so, if you are interested... 😁
I could learn to build a pizza oven!
I would really appreciate a list of materials if that’s okay with you. I am having trouble sourcing the fire bricks
Mad skills and time consuming fittings. Blessed baking in that oven . I hope the neighbors wont be knocking on your door wanting to sample your pies.
Now that you’ve had this oven for some years, is there anything you would do differently if you had to do it again? Is the size too big/small for how much pizza you make? Does it take too much wood to bring to temp?
I’m a single guy, so I was going to make one of those yoga ball domes (seems much smaller than what you did) and I don’t want to make it too small to do a couple pizzas at a time. Any insight would be appreciated.
24 inch is good for one pizza and 28 is good for two pizzas at a time. But these cook fast like 3 minutes so even if you had to do one at a time it should be ok. But I would go with 28" so you can cook bread and lots of things at once. 32" would be even better. If you want to save yourself lots of work instead of circular oven do a half a barrel oven. That way the circles are only in one axis. I think half a steel 55 gallon barrel would be great as long as it is raised few inches higher.
I have watched many YT DIY videos, and this is among the most concise and efficient one. To the point and covers most of the tricky situations you came upon. I would appreciate if you could let me know what was the inside diameter of the base, and also the specs of the materials you used, such as the cement, the bricks and the insulation. How is the oven holding up now after so many years of use?
Absolutely amazing!!! Great job bro!
