These skilled masons made a major mistake. They began as usual—pouring a layer of insulation and carefully laying heat-resistant bricks to ensure thermal stability. But things got tricky with the dome, one of the hardest elements in masonry. Placing angled bricks in layers demands serious skill and patience. One of them was so focused on precision, he even allowed himself to get trapped inside just to perfect it. Meanwhile, his partner sealed the outer surface with mortar and added a layer of glass wool to reduce heat loss and cut future costs. With each tile and a quick marble countertop, the project kept improving. Rumor has it, the oven was finished while the builder was still inside.
