Primitive Technology | Flat vs Curved Tiles, A Tough Lesson
I tested a variant of roof tie where it is a flat trapesoid with curved up sides to test if I could fit more of them into a kiln and have them cover more roof area than the curved barrel tiles.It turns out that the reason curved roof tiles are so comon is because the shape gives a long tile more strength throughout its length. After making, firring, and laying the tiles, only 2 of 36 survived. The flat tiles were so weak because of the change of design, I was forced to return to the old variant after a month of wasted effort.
I might take a break from filming tile making now and focus on other interesting projects.

About Primitive Technology:
Building things in the wild completely from scratch no modern tools, no modern materials.
The challenge is simple but strict: If I need a fire, I make a fire stick. If I need an axe, I shape a stone. Every hut is built solely from trees, mud, and rocks. I don't live in the wild, but I love discovering just how far we can go using only natural materials and human effort.
