Hand-Pressed Stock Brick Mould, 3 Bricks per Press

Description

Overview

This stock brick mould is a hand-operated steel mould with three stock-size cavities. Fill it with a damp cement and sand mix, press it down, lift the mould and three bricks stay on the slab to cure.

It is the simplest way to make your own stock bricks: no motor, no fuel and nothing to break. For a bigger step in output, the manual 6-drop stock brick machine doubles the bricks per drop and adds a lever for firmer pressing.

Key features

• Three stock brick cavities
• Hand pressed with no motor
• Steel construction that rinses clean
• Carried and stored easily
• Very little to maintain

Where it works

A stock brick mould like this works for a backyard room in Soweto, a rural home build in Limpopo, or farm labourers making bricks for staff housing during the quiet season. All you need is a flat surface, water, cement and sand. If you also want bigger bricks, the hand-pressed maxi brick mould sits at a similar price, and the full range of brick making machines covers every scale.

Good results from a hand mould come down to three habits. Measure the cement by the bucket every batch so the units match, keep the mix damp rather than wet so nothing slumps when you lift, and wipe the cavities clean every few presses. Cure the units in shade under plastic for about a week. Those habits matter more than the steel itself.
