| Finally we have started capping the arch. We made the mix from stuff we had laying about: fire clay, crushed soft brick, sand, old recycled castable and sawdust. We used portland at a rate of 1 part to 10 parts other material. |
 |
| We start with a layer of mix, then chicken wire and then another layer of mix. |

| Philip Wiggs and Hunter Smith smoothing the last coat of castable. |
