My first Pompeii Brick Pizza Oven - Time Lapse Video
I have moved this video to my new channel "ShawnDoes". Please head over here to watch the video:
• My First Pompeii Brick...
From beginning to end, it took 20 days of work and was complete within a month.
Below I have provided nearly everything I used in the video to help me complete the brick oven. I hope you take on the challenge and make your own. Thank you for watching

I just sat on the toilet for 13mins n watched a man make a brick oven.... what am i doing with my life
55villar well at least you weren't staring at the shower curtain, wall or door for that 13 minutes. I think it was productive.
55villar Same here
Same here
55villar So I'm not the only one...
55villar Life is as Extreme as you wanna make it
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.
Best search to see how deep your pockets are, that isn't going to be cheap by a long shot.
best comment
Acme Brick has kits and contractors
Lol
Pretty sick man, you've overbuilt the oven in a beautiful and rigid way. Thanks for sharing
I went through a couple of videos for building pizza ovens and I'm glad to see you do it properly! Thanks for the video and the commentary.
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.
actually, it's always about the money and food
I'm sure he watched a lot of ipad to build this
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.
conrad marconi I'm watching this on an Ipad and I have no intention of building an oven.
thepopeshitsinthewoo i am watching ot on my smartphone and i have no intention to build an ipad

classic
haha! I thought the same thing.
more like a humblebrag
Except she was there at one more step in the video! 😂
when you put enough effort, time, talent and money into something it has to turn great. Congrats. It is something I wish to do soon enough.
@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.
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. 👍
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.....

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.
Did your Grandfather happen to tell you It was a Mc who taught him his trade!!!!!!!!! I'm St. Paul MN!!!
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
Now you will be able to tell your grandkids about the videos you saw during our great depression
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.

This is a man who really loves pizza. Bravo!
Excellent job. Best tutorial for building a brick pizza oven available on KZhead. Thanks for sharing. 👏
Outstanding job! You did very well!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

I thoroughly enjoyed this 🦁
Wanda Davis are you serious??

The pivoting stick works so well. Never knew about them before. Well done. Thanks for sharing.
It is a bettest méthod!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is something I'd love to do. Always dreamed of a real pizza oven in my yard. All things considered, it will remain a dream.
Dude, this is what patience will do. Do it the right way the 1st time. Congrats on a beautiful piece.
First class workmanship. This shows what a craftsman can accomplish in just 13 minutes.
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
The best wood fired pizza diy video!!! Thanks!!! You are a very talented person!
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 don't know how I ended up here but I watched the whole video and that's hard work right there!! Amazing job
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 👍🏻
A pizza oven is my next project. Great video and appreciate the time lapse and narrative.

When your pizza oven could survive a tornado but your house couldn't.
Noah P The internet might be the wrong place for you to dwell if you are that easily offended.
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. In most cases it is better to ignore them and or overthink your reaction througly.
I mean I don't care and I'm majority Italian.
Mathias W. Fucking hilarious
All de Houses in Spain, Italy, France and most Europe are stronger than this owen.
thank you for the documentation side of the build well narrated Shawn finished oven looks awesome too , im pumped : )
Your one was the most beautiful and robust Stone Kiln I've watched recently. Good job my friend, take care.
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.
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
You can buy woodfire pizza too. Smh
Tutorial so good going to make one myself thank you so much!
Awesome job Shawn. Thanks for putting this video together... showing progress, and explanation of the project as you went along. I’ll be checking your channel for a materials list and plans...
Would you please tell me what happened to the styrophone he used? Has it just stay there?
This is awesome. Every man need a pizza oven
Good work good video not annoying at all no bullshit music. right to the point. Thanks man keep up the good work enjoy your 🍕 🍕

We are glad that you liked our video. Subscribe to our channel, we will be friends!)
Nice Job. I really liked the stick in the center that was used as both a guide and support. Love it.
nacra60na and wood!
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 !
kzhead.info/sun/lddtpJablpqAaqM/bejne.html&lc=UgwyGNEYwUBl7XxEOqV4AaABAg
Expert level construction! Great tutorial thanks.
I watched this awhile back. Was nice to come across again. Way to persevere. ;-)
Amazing work Shawn! Your video and tips will be a blessing in my future attempt. Thanks for sharing!

You did a nice job on that oven. I like the insolation you used under the main firebricks and on the outside before the final rendering.
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!
When 🎶the moon 🎵hits your eye like a big pizza pie ... That's amore❤️
Found this video totally at random... excellent job! Damn... now I feel like pizza...
askjerry I still feel like a human. I must have watched it wrong.
Napolitan or deep dish? Sometimes I feel like calzones but never like pizza. I’m not thin enough 😂😂
I like ur hat
kzhead.info/sun/lddtpJablpqAaqM/bejne.html&lc=UgwyGNEYwUBl7XxEOqV4AaABAg
Very satisfying.... Great upload
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
Awesome job! Looks great and built like a tank!
Congatulation👍 good explanation. Thank you and enjoy. Regards from Germany
Good job ! Thoroughly enjoyed the process and results !
Nicely over-engineered. :) That thing will do for decades to come.
I can really enjoy such a piece of craftsmanship ... great job dude !!! I can't wait until the pizza is ready hehe 👍🏻👍🏻
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.
I'm a professional concrete mason, and you have skill! Excellent work, very impressed.
You need to overlap the brick to make strong
That was fantastic! Thanks for posting this!
Absolutely amazing!!! Great job bro!
Cudos that was a serious labor of love loved the time lapse
The best off the best my friend, congratulation.
Wow, well done! It turned out really well, and the pizza looked delicious too! I take my hat off to you, sir.
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 KZhead videos are about. Thanks for putting it together!!!!! Truly appreciate it!
Gratulation! Very impressive work! Nice finish.

He built that like a professional tradesman ...electrician or plumber is what I'm thinking.
I always love brick oven cooking. You must surely enjoy using it during this period of lockdown. I saw a video where some folks in my country baked bread in a brick oven using an open bottomed bread pan. They used fig leaves as the base...which made a difference. I enjoyed watching ur video! Thank you. 💫

Great job Man !!! Congratulations & thanks for sharing video
Great job. Not an easy task, and 75 bags of concrete, and block later, not cheap either. But what a beautiful oven. Great pizza party's in the near future. Thanks for sharing this. Enjoy!
Gotta make a pizza oven! Pizza is the best food.especially when everything is homemade organic. Good job!
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.
i have one in our hotdog cooking and BBQ area way back in the corner of our back yard. i used the sand technique, similar to the earthen ovens, i also used repurposed red construction brick, they break and shape easily and hold the heat really well, plus the price was right. I cook just about anything that will fit in the door
This guy is a good craftsman I hope he can cook as good as he can build
...that's why he has a wife, to cook! just joking y'all....sexist joke warning!!
That basil was burned as hell 😀
@@daandemeyer1708 Cooking it with the basil on perfumes the pizza with its aroma, and you can always put fresh leaves on once it comes out
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
Very cool job finishing a unique project. I love classic brick oven pizza. Bon Apatite!
Nice build looks amazing. In france where I live they used to weave a dome then build the bricks over it then burn the weaving out to harden
I'm a brick mason and I think you did extremely well!
oooohhh
Is that like a stone mason? 🤔
I am only 3 minutes into this video and had to stop to comment! That's a lot of work, bro! well done, A+ for dedication!
Wow.. I thank you. Cheers from Los Angeles
Nice work! Thanks for the video!😊
I've thought about building one of these for a long time. I'm going to keep thinking about it.
Jaja
I am going to just hire someone to do mine :)
Wife: This Dominoes Pizza sucks. Hubby: Hold my beer.
LOL! How true!
Wife: this dominoes pizza sucks Hubby: get the fuck out lol

Beautiful Job! Good Luck and Thank You for sharing! God Bless!
Dude, you worked your ass off. Excellent job of engineering and execution. Bon Appetit!
My goodness, it's massive, your oven! Hope you get to cook more in it than "just" pizza. :-)
Great job!

Well done! Excellent work, video and explanation of each area in the process. 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻😀😀
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
Amazing man. 👏
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.
Nice solution/explanation for the top of the dome!
What an awesome video. I really enjoyed watching it. 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
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.
You are right. It is a traditional method.
That’s a awesome Oven Brother 😊
Great Job ! I loved the centering tool , A Big Well Done !
What an awsome project mate you killed with patience and finness! Love it!!!!!!!😎😎😎😎
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.
Thanks, Shawn. Very cool!
Nice craftsmanship, 🍕 Ovens 👍!
Good job. U can fill it with sand so the bricks won t collapse. ...making a sand dôme. .. once finished take it out by the door.
Dumè That's a good idea for supporting the bricks but then he wouldn't be able to use the pivoting locator tool in the middle.
Pat hobson he wouldn't need to
@@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.
Another guy used a big exercise bounce ball to build his mold and oven. Took way way less time
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.
thank you for the video , I've been slowly buying my fire bricks and getting ready
There ... Is a man who likes Pizza! That was awesome, thanks!
