Steel!

David Henderson, the blacksmith who is fabricating the steel parts of the oven, has been brilliant.

Even better he promises delivery by the end of the week. Here are some pictures.

  2. Hi Catherine, so glad it looks delicious to you too!

    HCBs are definitely on the cards for Easter. I'm hoping this oven will make enough to satisfy even my sister's craving for them - last year she had 20 and they were gone by Easter Monday.
