great video! I've been getting into rammed earth lately and this is the first video I have found that actually explains how to make forms in a clear obvious way. I would love to see more videos about this same topic but maybe on a larger scale. It would also be very useful to see how corners and window/door cutouts are made. Thanks again for the great video!
my good friend Clifton a rammed earth exoert builder says make sure you have no more than 15% clay/silt and minimum 10% cement, and he says up to 18mm gravel
Simple and effective forms. as a suggestion for bigger builds, make those cross beams into miter cuts and set them so that they form trestles. They give better support to the plywood against that outward force. I've also seen something similar but with steel studs, it might be better since they are lighter.
You could get a straight edge and mark horizontal lines every six inches or so along the interior of the plywood forms. Then you'd have guidelines so the layers turn out more even and consistent.
The three vertical supports are only supported by the screws in the end. This would be better with replacing them with another horizontal clamped stretcher.

I've been getting into rammed-earth lately as well. It's definitely an addicting topic.
I'm studying this subject and your video helped me a lot...thanks.
How do you make a corner section and connect another wall section to the corner piece?
Great video thanks! A second video on how to make corners or connect a wall together would be great.
Yes how to connect a wall do you make a window gap between wall sections which can be up to 8ft long due to the plywood.
So how do you connect walls?
Love the video! Thanks!
Thanks for sharing.

I want to build using rammed earth. Any simple DIY book on mixtures and apparatus anyone can recommend?
Please direct me to you other videos. Thanks
Thank you gonna build in my village india

how would that look, I don't understand
Great video!!! I would like to know what type if soil should I used and the equivalent of cement .. thank you for sharing 👍🏽👍🏽
3 to 10 percent of Portland cement. The type of soil can vary. Either subsoil or crushed gravel do best.
You could get a straight edge and mark horizontal lines every six inches or so along the interior of the plywood forms. Then you'd have guidelines so the layers turn out more even and consistent.
Excellent advice I've seen this done in a few other videos.
Never do that
@@RedefineandDesignwhy?
@@OtherDalfite Whatever you use to mark the formwork is likely to transfer onto your finished wall.
@@RedefineandDesign but the point of the rammed earth is that it eventually is plastered over to help protect from erosion?
GREAT JOB!
WOULD ONE HAVE TO "OIL" THE "INSIDE" OF THE FORM? IF SO, WHAT "TYPE" OF OIL? THANKS!-- Subscribed
I've never found it to be necessary. If you wanted to though, you could use a vegetable oil.
I used linseed oil, it dries with a sheen.
15% clay/silt, 10% cement, 25% gravel up to 18mm in various sizes and rest is sand.
Great clarity. Would have been better to give dimensions

ohh I understand so you want screws to never be the holding force, but rather wood and clamps
Can't make corners with that.
Of course you can
Never use raw plywood
