Use clamps to hold the door piece down against the insulated surface to prevent warping during
welding or brassing. About 1-inch area at each edge of the door and rod contact points, are all that is
necessary to hold the door securely to the rod. Bending the rod now is not necessary, but when ready
the door handle can be either to the left or to the right of the oven.
Position the oven between two bricks placed at the top and bottom of the oven so the oven is level and
we hold the back bracket above the working, surfaces of a workbench.
Take the front door firebrick, place it into the metal door piece, and center this assembly on the oven
with relation to the oven opening. Now drill 3-inch holes into the hinge bracket piece. These hole,
should be centered and 2 inch from the end of each piece, and from the opposite end, drill three holes
on: inch centers to accept sheet metal screws.
