Does anyone know of a website that has firebrick tables that
show the dimensions of the different shapes of firebricks,
number and shape of bricks needed to make various arches, etc.?

I have all this information in my kiln building books and in the
handbooks the refractory companies used to hand out.
I'm asking for a friend in Michigan who builds bread ovens, so
he doesn't really want to buy a kiln building book.
I'm thinking maybe one of the refractory companies might have
their handbook on-line, but coundn't come up with anything
after a 45-minute search.

Thanks,

Hi David,
I don't know if you will find the exact info here but it looks like a
good place to start. If its a loser let me know, a friend of mine showed
me a book on time that had all those formulas in it, I think, we had
sevewral beers in us at the time. Speaking of time .... I think it IS
that time! Mike
