I appreciate it my friend. I got three more waiting. I can't post them all at once because it will hurt their views. But I went on a writing spree in the past few days. I'll have three more new ones up by Tuesday.

The lyrics are human. The music is artificial intelligence. This particular song was done in an acoustic version so I can turn it into a live acoustic demo.

Yes all my songs are original. Been listening to a lot of Kris Kristofferson lately you might hear him a little bit in my last two songs.

@@BadBitchEnergy747 thanks bro that means a lot. Been writing songs for a few years. I got started back in July putting everything online. I've got everything I've written on suno.com. reggae country Rock. I've got a pretty good hard rock playlist going. I don't know if you've heard of suno.com easy to sign up just got to verify you, and it's free. It doesn't cost any money unless you plan on making music. suno.com/playlist/f50dbf75-9c78-4c2b-91d2-b8df160cc225 The first song is my favorite. "Blood Moon"

So, during the Nixon administration you were working with mortar and yall never worked with out gloves? Lol "The truth has a certain ring to it" Hemingway To suggest that I would be thrown off a job for not wearing gloves is laughably ignorant and is proof positive you don't know what you are talking about. I've been laying block for over 35 years. Cement damage from mortar only occurs on your hands when you have a cut or a sore on your hands. And that is the only time you would see me with gloves or a duct tape bandage. Out of the hundreds of jobs I've been on only two had a glove requirement. And It was for everyone on the jobe site including surveyors. And both were on military bases after 2020. Also you're not in your mid-sixties. No 65 year old "masonry trade" worker would feel the need to correct someone on RUclips, (for gods sake) over something so trivial. And I've never heard anyone call this industry "mortar trades"... Once again lol@U

So you deleted the response where you said I would end up in the hospital? Probably because I asked you to post one case where someone was significantly injured from not wearing gloves while working in "mortar trades" Lol@u That is what I thought.

Correction, "... Injured from cement poisoning for not wearing..."

Post one documented case of cement poisoning on the hands that left serious or permanent injury. You don't know what you're talking about I've been a mason for over 35 years.

You can't buy US standard individual block molds. They don't exist. They only exists in metric sizes because metric territories are the only ones with low enough wages to justify the use of the product. What I've learned is, it's just not worth the trouble when you can buy certified tested block from home Depot for $1.35. I used the mold to build the foundation of my garage and even I went to Home Depot and bought enough block to finish.

The core assembly was assembled and welded inside a block from home Depot then simply pulled out. Easy pesy

I don't know if you know anything about enduros but I had a KLR650. Love that bike just wasn't very powerful a couple more bikes later I found this bike. Kawasaki 650 versus is very similar to the KLR 650 with a ninja 650 motor on it. It will handle any freeway speeds and it still doesn't mind getting airborne off-road. I needed a dinghy for my sailboat so I bought the bris 14 ft boat in a bag. I saw this motor I got the idea to put the boat and the motor on the back of my motorcycle since the adventure bikes are known to carry a lot of weight. Myself my boat and my motor come in about 40 lb under its Max capacity. I'll send you a pic from my Facebook page.

@@sharpridgehomestead lewismeekwatson@gmail.com send me a wats up and I will send it to through email if you want. But it's no big deal. I bought the bris 14.1 ft inflatable boat. And I rolled it up and bungeeed it with the outboard motor onto the back of my motorcycle. I had the crazy idea to drive it to the beach with my tiny battery Ryobi compressor and hookah regulator and go offshore diving fishing with my offshore scuba and fishing vessel strapped to the back of my motorcycle. LOL I'm going to pull it off this summer I promise you.

I appreciate the help. I will check it out. But It was more of a welding project than it was a masonry project. I did make several dozen block. I'm using them as the foundation to my garage. They are filled with solid concrete so I don't think I have any worries. But they're holding so far.

Hey this on is from south Africa. www.doubell.com/diy

The mix is about three parts sand to one part Portland cement. Then you mix in enough water to make it about the same consistency as the damp sand on a beach that you would make a sandcastle out of. The mold uses a zero slump mix where one mold can be used repetitively. Unlike the molds that you would let it sit overnight. Overnight molds you can use a wetter mix even concrete if you like. There is not just different mixes there is different slumps. Paver molds and my molds use a zero slump. If you were putting in a driveway or a sidewalk you would probably use an 5 or a 6 inch slump. If you were filling steel-reinforced concrete blocks you would use a 7 or 8 inch slump.

Oh yeah you don't need the Pea Rock if you're just filling molds.

It depends on what you're using them for. If you're filling them with concrete there is a limit to how small they can be. If you're not filling them with concrete you can make them any size you want.

One hour for one block? you think it took 1 hour to make one block? Really?

You dont know how to make blocks

@@roystonvanwyk5086 you don't know what you're talkin about. I made a machine from scrap metal that actually makes blocks. You can't name one other person that pulled that off.

@@LouLovesLyrics ok.. Good.. But whats the use if the brick look like that.. A standard brick does not look like that.. You should do it.. Again and again.. And more and more.. To fix the problem.. Your a engineer.. Bro.. You can fix it

@@roystonvanwyk5086 you don't know what you're talkin about. It's not a brick it's a block. It looks exactly like any other standard 16in block.

That's a good point and probably would work, but if I ever need blocks again I'll make it all one piece flip it over fill it with a shovel and pack the mud into place with a shovel and then scrape it off flip the mold back over and pull it off the formed block and repeat the process. Also important to remember that every block I made I used and is still in great shape and filled with concrete holding up my garage.

@@LouLovesLyrics agitation just helps any air pockets get filled in. I have no doubt your blocks are in great shape! I have physical limitations that mean I have to look for less physically intense ways of approaching projects

Cool. If you have a DIY block machine I truly like to see it.

@@LouLovesLyrics We can customize your machine according to your requirement. My whatsapp:+86 15094713898

Why do you think my goal is to see how many blocks I could make in one day? Does it look like I'm trying demonstrate production speed in the video? You don't think I could make a block any faster if I was trying? Seriously? My goal was a welding project, design and build a mold from scratch that could make masonry blocks in case you were wondering. Why don't you try to do something comprable instead of criticizing me for not achieving imaginary goals that you believe were important? 🤔

@@LouLovesLyrics i didn't know the guy was this emotional. hahahahaha funny may be your a woman behind a mans body.

@@LouLovesLyrics truth your explanation ain't even clear and can advice you on something. that's not how it done. its not done with that much water. hahahahahahahahaha

@@ecstaticclips it just shows you don't know what you're talkin about because clearly it was just done with that much water.

And by the way I advise people that Home Depot sells the block that my mold was created from for $1.35. I also have written that I myself instead of taking the time to mold blocks to finish a project, I personally drive to Home Depot and bought some of those block to save time. I've never sold any block and every block I've used is full of steel-reinforced concrete and was used on the property that I own.

tin fingers I doubt this particular block whether good quality enough ?

@@HenryBlockMachineGroup the quality doesn't matter if it's full of steel-reinforced concrete. It doesn't matter if it's made of cane sugar and dissolves away the first rain. Which I assure you hasn't happened. All the block that I made have been used. And are still holding steel-reinforced concrete. So let's just say you sound like you're jealous and you don't know what you're talkin about. The machine is not for sale. The blocks are not for sale. It was my first welding project. After I taught myself to weld. I don't give a s*** about the block mold. It is rusting in my shed.

@@LouLovesLyrics i know that the steel reinforcement can support more solid to the building wall, but , inside the block material, only cement, sand is not enough to guarantee its density, that is better to feed crushed stones

No the block does not shrink. With a 3/8 motor joint that Bond's it to the next block the block is 16 inches long 8 inches high. But out of the mold without the motor joint the block is 15 and 5/8 inches long 7 5/8 inches high.

Ronald Brown good input insightful genuinely trying to be helpful. I got all the sand I want for free so I'm trying to keep this cost down. I figured it's about 8 or 9 cents a block. my next project it's going to be Doric column molds. trying to work on some ideas about how to taper a welded cylindrical column, any suggestions? I was thinking about building the column completely cylindrical and then making Rip's down the side and re welding them to get the proper taper.

Marius Constantin I like your mold. where did you get it from? it looks like an older style of block with the three cells. is it standard or metric?

Matt McCallum yes their out there you have to Google it. I will try later. you can use metric block on standard plans. you just have to be creative with your rebar spacing. sometimes you can just add rebar. sometimes it's easier for a mason just to cut blocks to fit around the rebar issue. but I still can't see any reason why it would be easier then just going to Home Depot and buying the block for $1.35. Maybe if you're in a remote area like Alaska or high in the Rockies or you have access to large amounts of Portland and sand at a low cost. whatever it is I'll try to get back to you with more answers but yes metric masonry block molds are out there and are what gave me the inspiration.

sorry my friend. I took a standard US block and I welded 14 inch gauge steel around the outside then I welded all around inside of both cells while the block was upside down and Link the cells together so I can pull them out of the mold first because the block is thicker on top so the only way the motor slip off of it is upside down. the outside of the block is completely Square so when you're doing the outside it doesn't matter. but when you're doing the individual cells you must Assemble the parts upside down. it literally took me at least 25 hours of Labor cutting each piece to fit exactly and then welding it all together. anyone who would spend the time to make one of these molds can have some fun saving themselves a little money. But I promise you by the time you make the mold get the sand the Portland and the aggregate and make the blocks you will probably understand it would have been easier just to buy them from Home Depot for a $1.35 a piece. I have the mold and all the free sand I want, and I would still probably buy the block if I was doing a house. I'm using them for a few small projects and I made a cool video and I came up with a welding project to teach myself how to weld, but the reason that these single U.S. standard block molds are so unusual is because labor cost make them obsolete.

sorry brother all I can tell you is what I did. I got a regular block and I welded 14 gauge pieces all the way around the outside. then with the block upside down I welded pieces all around both of the cells. the block is tapered thicker on the top and thinner on the bottom so your mold must be built to manufacture the block upside down. it is the only way at the center mold will slip off the block. I am an amateur welder I took me about 25 hours labor at least. but it was fun I made a cool video and I came up with a welding project to give me some experience welding. I have all the free sand I could use the mold and if I was building a house I'd still buy the block from Home Depot at $1.35 a piece. by the time you built them old got the same the Portland and the Aggregate and made the block you probably agree it would just be easier to buy them. but if you want to weld it anyway I'll answer any of your questions it's really straightforward. just copy the masonry block with steel.

isfel a lot of people have offered to buy them and if you're anywhere near Gainesville Florida I would gladly show you this one. but it's very impractical considering you can buy the same block from Home Depot for about a $1.35 a piece. now if you're really seriously interested you can buy a metric one. that's where I got the idea from they're a little over three hundred bucks, and you can make them fit standard plans.

Jose Varela the video is less than 10 minutes and there's two. so we can agree that math is not your greatest subject. clearly in the R&D stage you may also be unfamiliar with the term. also my property is in Interlachen Florida next to the Keuka sand mine where I dig blonde sand right out of my backyard. have you ever heard the expression "if life gives you lemons..."

Yes making the mold was very laborious. It took almost a week. It was my second project teaching myself how to weld. Got another project coming this weekend.

@@LouLovesLyrics / If god wills I definitely wanted to watch that project.

It is for demonstration purposes only. If I was trying to be fast I wouldn't be working on the ground. I have a bunch more mud made up and I'd be working off a bench. But why don't you buy a welder teach yourself how to weld. Then design a block machine in your head manufacturer it and then let's see how fast you are. Okay?

@@LouLovesLyrics don't let the arse holes on here get to you. We're sitting on our behinds watching a video of you working that you put up to help us. Everybody thinks they're an expert when they don't have to do the work

Marcos Gobira yes the thick side with the handle it's down and the thin side is up. my mold would not slide off otherwise.

compacted well enough to fill with concrete which is what most block is used for. and there's two Block in 10 minutes so it looks like math isn't your best subject.

it's about eight parts and one and a half parts cement and a half part pea Rock. ad just enough water to make it damp. if it's runny at all it will not work. if you wanted to make a simple box you can make your own bricks easy custom sizes. I wouldn't suggest building a block mold like this. it took me probably about 30 hours to build it. I live almost next door to one of North Florida's largest sand mines the Keuka sand plant. so I sit on a acre and a half of pure blonde sand.

Did they turn out good? Where would metric ones be found? I am wanting to help a guy in Senegal Africa to build a little shop but he has nothing to do so it would make sense if he could actually make his own cinder blocks to build it.

@@he7is7at7hand that's funny because there's plenty of metric ones out there. The reason why I don't mind is because I wanted to see if I could build a standard one. But there's really not much of a market in the US because of the availability of cheap standard blocks at home Depot. LOL but it was more of a welding project anyway. I did make several dozen block there under my garage in the foundation and they're filled with concrete and rebar. They did turned out pretty good if you're interested there are dealers that sell metric masonry block molds. this one is in Africa I believe. www.doubell.com/diy

Have you rinsed the salt out of that sand?

@@michaelbyrnee9584 I didn't even see this one. Explain why you think it was necessary for me to rinse the sand? Also can you explain why this video has had such a significant affect on you that you would the need to fabricate reasons to criticize me and or the video, and fabricate your experience to justify your fabricated criticism?
