Houston... we have an oven!

I finally got the pictures to come up Dick.  I like the prop for the lid.  I set mine close to the wall so the lid rests against it.

I built the Bingham oven and like you, the first thing I noticed was the possibility of it tipping over. Like Dennis, mine is next to a wall but I still went on the inside of the lid and box at each end and added 1" heavy nylon straps that wont let the lid go past vertical. They fold into the box when lid is closed. I folded the ends of the straps so that I could screw through a double layer to attach them. This prevents them from tearing out.

Dick,

I really looks good and that is one of the many things I will build before starting my bow.  One question: Could you have mounted the wood board with the lights after the insulation was put on the lid?  This would have eliminated the worry of wiring shorting to the foil on the insulation.

BTW, I like the idea of the wooden slats on the end so the box can be stored standing on end. I'd never thought of that.

[Dick in Seattle]

yes, I suppose I could have mounted the light board after insulation, but I had a slight concern re protecting the wood from the light bulb heat.   A bow will be in there for as much as six hours.   Probably not a problem, but the thought occurred.

Depending on the height of your ceiling, low casters would be even better than my skids.   I'm looking for a set that's low enough for me to get away with.

Final comment, if I were doing it again, I'd look really hard at that all foam constructed one like Areonaut's.   Maybe not as durable, but probably plenty strong enough with reasonable care, and would be much easier to handle.
