    What an amazing occupation! And to think they've been doing it like this for a thousand years!! An extremely difficult way to make a bare living! I had no idea so much sweat went into brick making, and how little reward they get for it. I'm glad you got this interview before the job becomes automated. Ron from Cincinnati

    How beautiful that mud is. And how he handles it. He handles the soft mud mix like it is part of him. He's been doing this for so long it is part of him.
    Amazing how much it is ingrained into his being that he keeps making and mixing even though he makes very little.

    I saw in a tv program a few years ago, A guy put up an adobe wall. I thought ho-hum good for you, but then he also plastered it with the same material but you could still see the pattern of the blocks, Man that really made it look good. The home and wall complemented each other really awesome.

    Jorge has the touch. Those are really nicely done. Compare these bricks to those made on site in many places in the southwest US and these are far superior

    Let me know if I've got this right: The kiln is a temporary structure for firing the sun-dried bricks that the kiln is constructed from. Do the sugar cane fibres + saw dust + straw help it cook, or directly add to the material strength?

    • @armsantana
      @armsantana  4 роки тому +1

      Jove Rogers the kiln bakes the bricks and makes them stronger.

    These are regular bricks, they are not adobe bricks. Adobe bricks are made with sand, clay and straw, sun dried.

      Richard D. The only difference is that these bricks are oven baked but the ingredients are basically the same. Thanks for your observation.

    Why do they need to "fire" or kiln dry the bricks? Why do others make adobe just by drying them in open air for a week? Which is better?

    He said he hops the brick making is hard work. So what it is very important that young men work hard. It makes them proud of themselves. They don't need therapy like Americans. They don't go around shooting people either. Hard work is good for you

    Why did the interviewer think it unnecessary to give Jorge a microphone? Some of us DO speak Spanish.
    Also what did he mean by FERMENTING the bricks?
    And since it"s adobe, why bake them? It's all very confusing.

      Gracias por tus comentarios. Para la próxima espero ser más preciso y explicar "fermentar" mejor. No todos los que ven mis videos hablan español y me alegro que tu si. El ladrillo se necesita "hornear" para que quede más duradero.

      Kevin Harvey I don’t know if your comment is meant for me or the adobe workers in my video, but if it’s me you refer to, then I think you are being extremely judgmental.
