Note the location of the 1&#215;1 round plate with hole as those will be important in future steps. The fire itself is made up of brown friends flowers with flames in the top. I used skeleton legs and flex tubing for an elaborate metal grill in front of the fire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.brickbuilt.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/1-5.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"720\" height=\"480\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Now comes the interesting section. These three parts make a simple assembly that allows the stadium tiles to be attached to a bar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.brickbuilt.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/2-5.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"720\" height=\"452\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Or more accurately, to a flex tube. The shape of the stadium tiles allows for a nice smooth fit despite the arched shape, and the black clips and flex tube are barely visible in the finished fireplace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure

height=\"480\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The ends of the flex tube are placed into the 1&#215;1 round plate with hole already in position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.brickbuilt.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/4-5.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"720\" height=\"480\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image

it&#8217;s time to build the rest of the fireplace, starting with some simple bricks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.brickbuilt.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/6-5.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"720\" height=\"480\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>More bricks and a few plates continue the walls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.brickbuilt.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/7-4.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"720\" height=\"480\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>And then a 1&#215;1 brick modified with stud is used to attach a sideways cheese slopes that starts filling in around the arch of tiles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.brickbuilt.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/8-4.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"720\" height=\"480\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>More bricks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.brickbuilt.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/9-4.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"720\" height=\"480\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>These octagonal 2x2x3 pillars make for some nice stone columns, or you could replace them with some standard 2&#215;2 round bricks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.brickbuilt.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/10-4.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"720\" height=\"480\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Add a couple more plates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure

alt=\"\" width=\"720\" height=\"480\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>And then a 4&#215;10 plate with some brackets attached to the underside can be used to finish filling in around the arch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.brickbuilt.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/13-4.jpg\" alt=\"\"

a kite shield smoothly into the wall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"

any gaps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.brickbuilt.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/20-2.jpg\" alt=\"\"
