Building concrete water storage jars

Ever wondered how they make the large concrete water storage jars? Well here's the video for you!

This is a video of water storage jars being made in Cambodia, SE Asia. The video features a time lapse at the start of the video and more detailed video close ups at different times through the process. The material used for manufacture is concrete.The people in the video make four storage jars a day and sell them for around $US17 each to support their family. Just to give you some idea of working conditions in Cambodia. The type in this video are 750 liters in capacity.

The process is relatively simple with very little needed in way of construction materials. It is quite hypnotic to watch.

Enjoy!
