— The forge, on not knowing yet
Something monumental
The forge doesn't know exactly what it's going to build with all this adobe yet — only that it's going to be monumental. Styled, naturally, to welcome our alien overlords.
Kim gasped when she saw this
Kim, one of the moderators on the forge's TikTok, gets sneak peeks at projects. This one got a gasp. A brickmaker known as Future Adobe — a man who clearly knows what he's doing with adobe — helped refine the forge's recipe and gifted a multi-brick mould.
One brick at a time became seven.
The forge used to press bricks one by one. Now it presses seven at a time. Every brick still gets the same care, and every brick is still finished with a follower's name.
How the bricks are made
Sand, straw, clay and water are mixed well and pressed into the mould. The mould comes off, and the brick cures for three days (or goes in a kiln to speed things up). There's a full how-to video on TikTok and YouTube.

Watch it get built
Every build happens live on TikTok, every day at 10am MST. The best bits end up as YouTube Shorts.
