About This Video:
I made clay bricks, air dried them and then built a dry stacked (no mortar) wall from those bricks. Brick making is a time consuming process. To amass enough bricks for a large scale firing will take a long time to do. In the previous hut (that burnt down) bricks were stored inside the hut out of the rain to dry before firing. This took up considerable space within the hut. So with this hut, bricks were stored under the eves of the hut forming a temporary wall around the work space. Clay was taken from a pit and carried to the hut site. The clay was mixed with water in a pit. The ceramic brick mold (made of fired clay in a previous video) was soaked in water and wood ash to make it slippery so that the clay would slide out easily. Bricks were then formed on the floor of half the hut. When the bricks had dried enough they were then stacked under the eaves to form a growing wall. I"ll continue making clay bricks and when an opportunity rises, I will take them out and fire them, upgrading them from adobe bricks to fired clay bricks. These will in theory be used in a permanent hut constructed from bricks and mortar.
About Primitive Technology:
Primitive technology is a hobby where you build things in the wild completely from scratch using no modern tools or materials. These are the strict rules: If you want a fire, use a fire stick - An axe, pick up a stone and shape it - A hut, build one from trees, mud, rocks etc. The challenge is seeing how far you can go without utilizing modern technology. I do not live in the wild, but enjoy building shelter, tools, and more, only utilizing natural materials. To find specific videos, visit my playlist tab for building videos focused on pyrotechnology, shelter, weapons, food & agriculture, tools & machines, and weaving & fiber.

The thatched hut without walls Digging a pit to mix clay Clay in a dry side creek bank Clay into pit Water in main creek Water into pit Let clay slake then tread into mix Dig puddle to soak brick mold Brick mold made of fired clay.
Wood ash makes the water slippery so the clay wont stick to mold Wet mold Dry ash stomps clay sticking to ground Lump of clay Press clay into mold Scree off excess clay Lift up mold Next brick Wash mold.
40 bricks Turn bricks to dry quicker Lay bricks around structure Flatten ground Only make 3 sided wall (front left open) More clay More bricks Stack on previous layer White tail rat prints.
36.5 bricks per layer Now adding water to clay bank so it's easier to dig (softens soil) It's good to add dry dirt to the previous layer so that as the bricks dry they slide rather than crack as they dry Stop motion brick laying Bricks formed into wall are simultaneously drying. When ready they can be fired into ceramic bricks but for now are protected from the rain while not taking up space within the hut. Adobe wall

Give up movement brick laying +1
Apt video as continually. I lawful contain one search files from and I dont point out this facetiously, but what’s the motive of getting lawful a half of-wall? Became that carried out traditionally? Looks to be savor many of of labor for none of the benefits of getting an actual wall. Whats the reasoning?
cant wait to scrutinize recent brick fortress being place. i rather loved that mud one with clay roof tiles.
How did you stop the water for the mildew washing hole from draining?
