Check this guy out. Amazing what one can do with a stick. :shocked: "Tools!!?? We don't need no stinkin' tools!" :grin: :grin: :grin: About 15 minutes long.

That's incredible. The guy must have a laser level built into his head, unlimited energy, and ... well, I just don't know.
What kind of ground is that? Holds it shape, carves like soapstone, not a rock in it. I'd be blasting every foot-and-a-half.
Amazing. A stick and a pot. I said "no way he's filling that by hand" ....

He has some other vids on Youtube. Amazing to make natural cement from the termite mound. This is definitely... :popcorn: Must have a high content of clay in the soil.

Two issues come too mind for me.
How does he drain, filter and clean (chlorinate) the water and
I wonder what he does for a living?🤔🤔🤔

Those are some of the questions that came up for me too. Here's another vid. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xP2_hF-d4-w https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UJKUCenjV68

actually I was wondering about the mortar and the soil that held it's shaped. Assume it is solid clay?
And filtering the water.

Found this on termite mounds as a concrete/cement.
"The strength development of termite mound cement paste and concrete was investigated using the termite clay mound material to replace cement by mass in the proportions of 0%–25%, and evaluating its effects on the termite mound clay paste and concrete. The setting times of the material showed, it behaved like an accelerator. The compressive strength decreased as the percentage replacement increased, and 5%–20% of the material can be used to produce good quality concrete. The statistical evaluation further confirmed the suitability of the material for concrete production."

Why is he building a pool with a lake within walking distance? A quick spritz of "leech off" and Bob's your uncle. Wouldn't it fill up when it rained? Never mind, I just got it. 100 million views and he has now bought the whole island and is driving a Lamborghini.

Probably drains it the same way he filled it!
CHLORINATE? FILTER? BWAHAHahahaahaha ....
I think you're probably watching what he does for a living, collecting it .00001 rupees per clickthrough. In his world, $200 would probably meet every need he's got for a year ....

There are some very clever people in that part of the world.
Check out Pakistani Truck on YouTube to see how repair a truck outside the world of Main dealers!

Also wondering how that quality of a film Got done in a third world country. Something real fishy about this whole video 🤔

Probably done with a smart phone .

I was entranced watching the relentless effort of this. Can't imagine it would hold up well with one monsoon rain storm. Regardless, a most impressive endeavor. Agree with the laser guidance system in his head. Thanks for the link.

Someone is making money from his Youtube channel. Probably the one that vids it and posts it. Either way, his talent is pretty good for on the fly creation. He does use some blades on his sticks. They speed up is building/digging. :rolleyes: A big given is the soil that he's working with and the in-ground structures aren't meant to be permanent.

If you watch other videos of workers in less developed parts of Asia, Africa, etc, you'll see people doing jobs exactly like this every single day of their lives ... moving bricks from one pile to another 15 at a time as they throw them in a straight line into a stack, 10 hours a day. Unloading boats on a river wharf and running up 100 steps with a 100 pound load on their backs, and running down to get another, all day long. Using a cutting bar exactly like his to outline a big slab of salt in the ground, cutting it loose, prying it up, and loading it onto a camel or a three-wheeled Ape in 115 degF temperatures, every day for years.
Reminds me of the story that Sean Connery tells about being on location doing a film in North Africa. Every day their car headed from town out to the location would pass a man walking out from town, and every evening they'd pass the same guy walking back to town with a big load of firewood on his back.
One day he tells the driver to stop and give the guy a lift. The guy says "No thanks, I don't need a ride." Sean says "But it would save you half a day's walking; that's a lot of extra time."
And the guy says "But what would I do with it?"
We here on the forum are in a pretty elite group, from a worldwide standpoint ...
