How to make brick

Presently construction is not only heavy, but also rather expensive process. Construction materials, tools, etc. take off for the huge sum therefore much to have to improvise on this field of activity. Someone manufactures tools, devices, and someone even makes building materials, slag stones, bricks, etc. Of course, production of bricks in big scales is destiny of the industry, but their production in small amounts can do also to the ordinary person.

It is required to you

  • - clay
  • - boards of 20 mm
  • - nails
  • - plywood
  • - metal barrel

Instruction

1. For a start it is necessary to make forms for brick. They can be done both metal, and wooden, but we will stop on tree. We take board not less than 20 mm and we do form under the size of brick of it, we do connections on nails. Naturally, the top and lower covers are necessary, top has to be removable, they can be made of plywood. Further we put forms clay, we will settle it, we will remove excess clay, we will press cover, we will take a little and we pull out preparation.

2. Further we place preparations under canopy, they need to be dried surely in shadow, but not indoors since airing is necessary. The air humidity is less, the bricks will dry quicker. Drying can last up to two weeks.

3. Unburnt bricks can be used too, but only for building of small constructions, for example, the shed. But it is possible to try them to burn though this process is not simple, and the first pancake, as usual, can turn out lump. Let's take metal capacity, for example, to flank, without bottom and without top. Let's dig out half-meter hole in the earth and we will make fire in it. From above we put this barrel on any support of centimeters at 20-25 from the earth not to block to fire oxygen. We stack in it bricks, but so that between them there was small distance, and we cover from above. Process of roasting has to last about 20 hours, after that it is not necessary to undertake anything, let cooling happen gradually.
