Looking For Info On Brick Making

Anybody got any links?

I understand the general process, dig the clay, wet it down, form it, dry it, bake it. I'm just looking for someting somebody's actually done as a guide. I've got a lot of clay in my pasture and I'd like to make bricks for footpaths and raised beds for my market garden.

Quote:

A conventional (fired) brick and tile composition comprises clay in an amount of 95% of total composition and 5% of sand.

a little snippet I found. Is a recipe what you require, because I think other than packing it with some straw, you have it figured - if you are sun-baking not firing that is.

Sorry no information on that, it's a deeply guarded secret by the Masons.:wink:
