I did a project very similar to this. I had a cadet onboard so this was a great project to use him with. Lots of skills taught in this one, lol. I wanted a larger over so I took the guts out of a commercial over and put them in to a upright cabinet. The outside was wrapped in 1 inch ceramic insulation then wrapped in sheet metal. The oven took about 40mins to heat up to 500 Deg. Some stove pipe was slip rolled out of 18 gauge sheet and welded up. We used a small inline fan to give it some convection action. The outside metal was slightly warm to touch but still fairly cool considering. Worked out well. I will probably make another one here in the the next year. Maybe a 12 inches deeper this time. That would allow just about anything to be baked. Keep it controlled with basic knobs and a thermostat for simplicity of use. Wish I thought about the PID controller.

Love the oven Engelbert!!!!
