I have strong considerations regarding building my own tile stove/fireplace based on the sandugenns sand oven principle. http://www.sk-ab.com/nyugnar/sandugnen/sandindex.htm
I plan to build walls and place an insert, then use stainless steel in two bends like in the sand oven. Fill with sand and tile it. Has anyone done something similar or has a sand oven and can tell a little about how it works?

Had the privilege of seeing how a kakelugnsmakae works and what materials he uses. The bricklaying itself consisted of a well-balanced mixture of clay, sand, and water. The drying time was quite long, and the bricklaying was done in stages over a week's time - I can imagine that applies in your case too! At the city library in Malmö, there was a book about kakelugnar and the history behind them. At the end of the book, there is a description of how a kakelugn is constructed - perhaps this can be helpful!
Good luck!

Of course, the tiled stove is built. However, it is a bit more complicated than that. The tiles are not small tile pieces that you cover the stove with after it is built. To understand and get an insight, read this link: http://www.byggahus.se/forum/byggmaterial-byggteknik/123144-tillverka-egen-kakelugn.html
On the other hand, there are modern tiled stoves that are actually clad with tiles when the stove itself is glued together. www.cronspisen.eu/se/pdf/KBR_Cronspisen_SE.pdf page 39.

Thank you Mikael_L, I don't understand how that happened. I'll try again with the link: http://www.byggahus.se/forum/byggnadsvard/16661-mura-upp-en-kakelugn-pa-egen-hand.html
Have studied a bit and it seems that most manufacturers of modern tile stoves of the type that are covered with optional tiles afterwards use olivine as the core material. I haven't found any place to buy it, so it will probably have to be brick. Does anyone have any tips on what mortar to use to be able to cover it with tiles? I've also considered lightweight concrete and leca, but they isolate, so I don't know if it's so good to use. This is the model:
