Hi it's nice to see that our south African people can work very hard. Imagine you look so young and you are such a hard worker. Omg. I cannot carry 1 block I get back pain. South African government must motivate these youngsters to open their own business. There will be no more shacks and people can live in nice houses. I bought 100 blocks at R8 each. God bless to this young man and may the lord open doors of opportunities for him. Wishing you everything of the best brother. Even I can support your business by buying your blocks to neaten around my house. God bless you.
Unfortunately, they still only have a choice of two roofing types, Tin or Asbestos. So very noisy in a downpour. Tiles are way too expensive. Asbestos roofing has been banned in the UK and Sweden and many other countries. You have to call in experts to demolish such a roof. The dust/fiber stays in your lungs.
plz note the wind fan is the major cause of back pain!!!! And indeed, they dont monopolize knowledge for greedy money. We have kids that aspire to become doctors, to help people ♥
Just so you know next time, your blocks had dried out too much to bother with the water, next time cover then with a sheet of plastic with stones on the corners to keep the damp air inside, you also need to spray on them before sleeping or late. As some cements have a very short burning time, this is so that workers can empty forms/molds for walls the following day and use them again. Yet privately, when using a thicker amount of cement for screening a floor for example, you need to flood the floor with a lot of water. Before you cement a wall, wet the blocks, to stop them sucking out the water from the cement. Then wet again by spraying with a mist and hose after and during the laying of the blocks ok.
Very educational. I think this is something well be doing in the UK before long as the price of building materials are getting to high. We pay £4 or more per concrete hollow block now.
I really want to make my own blocks. I found your video very helpful!! Although i will have to try and find a more automatic way. I've had back surgery to walk again. My backs probably to weak to preform they way you do!!! You are an amazing person, sending good will to you and those close to you! Thanks for the great video!
It is encouraging to see such a young man doing all this. He should note that the top of the brick is arched and not flat due to the fact that the unit with which he slides the brick out of the mold, is too thin and arches and rocks in the larger housing. I suppose it could be corrected by the layer of mortar in between the bricks, but a sharp eye can see it immediately and it does look " untidy". It can be corrected very easily. Making molds needs attention, as such a mold should last a long time and repeats the product with a high degree of accuracy. Still Congratulations, well done, and all the best in your life.
Nice video! I would like better descriptions of what is being done. What is ratio cement to sand? How many parts cement to how many parts sand? I could figure it myself from trial and error. I think you said "5 wheelbarrels" is a good starting point to one bag (what size?) of cement? I could dump 1 bag of cement into (what size wheel barrel?) to see how much of 1 wheel barrel one bag of cement is? Would be much better to have a number on cement to sand then you can use any size wheel barrel and any amount of sand and any amount of cement to make any size batch of blocks that you want. Good video and good starting point.. I can figure this out from trial and error. Also on day two pouring water into blocks is not clear why. I'm guessing this just helps to "finish" curing the concrete? and get water into other places to make it cure better inside the block? Or is this just a test for cracks? water leaks out fast if the block is bad? Thanks again!
Thanks for your work my question is can I put them on something like plastic bag long and open so that I can collect water at end and recycling to other blocks
Not sure, but i think when they say ratio 1:8 in wheelbarrows they meant per wheelbarrow of cement which is 2 x cement bags, not 1 cement bag to 8 wheelbarrows of sand but 1 cement wheelbarrow. Meaning per wheelbarrow its 4 or 4 1/2 or even 5 wheelbarrows cement. 2 x cement bags fit into 1 wheelbarrow.

Thank you for the information. Ive always dreamed of making my own home with affordable diy materials. This seems to be the way to build a strong cheap home. Paint the inside, use a light water resistant material that is sloped for the roof, build a floor with a cement / plywood base, lay some carpet, and run a wire in that shit and ill live in a one room home with one door and zero windows. Id consider a few windows for an ac unit and ventilation but other than that im a minimalist.
Congratulations! This is a very informative video. Is the ratio of sand to cement 2 bags of cement to 5 wheelbarrows (14 shovel heaps of sand per wheelbarrow)? What is the weight of the bag of cement you're using?

Oh, good work. i would give you a mixer I no longer use but I live in NZ. Maybe a longer handle on a shovel might save the back a little bit.
How very kind 🇿🇦👏🏽
Great work! Onwards and upwards 😊

Greetings from Texas. I was curious how to make these and came across your video. I enjoyed it. Thank you. Your a hard worker !

Thank you so much 😊
Am so happy to see a young man work with his hands
Wow this is a great idea it better than buying you save a lot of money❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Just go n read a bag of cement it i it is written black and white
100% correct

Thank you for your lovely video. Please can you tell me how much it costs per block for the material ? Thanks
Very informative, well done!
This is how it is done in West Africa. 3 and half wheels of sand to one bag of 50kg of portland cement.
Yeah! 8 wheelbarrows is ridiculous! Even 5 is too much except they're using some very special cement down there in SA
Wow that you child. I'm definitely gonna reverse my aging process with this
Wow, congratulations bro.🎉

Beautiful indeed
Hie my man what an informative vedio there but I'm interest in the name or the size of these block what are they called,?
It looks like 6inch blocks
I appreciate ur skills bro one africa
One love from BOTSWANA my guy!
Which types of cement makes good blocks
You awesome in what you doing
You can use used engine oil to coat your mould with a paint brush
Thats toxic. Use vegetable oil instead.
You said we should use a strong cement to get strong blocks..would you please recommend that type of a cement please
Sepaku cement
Good work brothermen
Good job,but my question is can i get the video and the measurements your box please
Please email me zwidemediabookings@gmail.com
This is beautiful
Which cement is best for making blocks
Keep it up you doing good 🤝
where can I buy this machine for making bricks
God bless you my brother 🙏
Thank you 🙏
tell me name of this pls what time of block maker tool you used?
love this bad
Very informative bro.
Can I use a 32 N,will the mix ratio be the same
If you making Blocks always use R not N if you using 32,5 maximum 4 barrows to 1 cement
Great video! What's the name of the tool you used to make the blocks?
Blocks mold
It is nice but where you are molding the block is to far from where mixed it
How many days do you watering your brokes until they get dry
Where can I get the block machine that makes the shape of the block ...I'm also south African ❤
Go and check to your nearest building shop
Thank you brother good job,
Nice brather
Thanks
Wow good job! Is that type for houses or fences
For both
Nice
How much do you charge for 100 bricks??
Danki qhawe ✌🏾

Hi I love your work dude, what I want to know is that you use plaster or building sand or any sand?
U mixed river sand not plaster sand
Zwide kaLanga!
Love it :) thank you
Where did you get you mold to make the blocks?
From my nearest building shop
😊Great work
Great Work, thank you.
Next time try not to waste so much water.
Nice video ❤
In this video, i see you used two wheel barrow of sand to 1bag of 50kg cement and got 32 blocks. Am i correct? I want to follow suit.
I used 4 barrrows
Are you using 150mm or 200mm mold
i have 1 question....what if u dont do the water cure for 7 days....what happens to the blocks if its just air dry 24 hrs.....whats the outcome of that?
