Started on number four, a little more careful about mixing throughout pouring this time

Getting more uniform and consistent. Need to do four more good ones.

@migurski I have a friend who tiled his bathroom with these but there is one mistake. even though I can't see it I can't unsee it

@vitriolix did they make the tiles or does somebody sell them?

@migurski I'm actually not sure

Number 7 turned out smooth but the neck cracked inside the mold, so for number 8 I sacrificed one of my many IKEA hex keys as rebar

@migurski in your earlier pictures that had indeed struck me as a very thin neck, any way to make it fatter?

Finished the half-scale prototype this weekend.

My concrete mixing and handling have a lot of room for improvement, I hear vibration tables help with this a lot. I also need to design a multi-piece mold so I can do more than one tile per 48 hours, and make some improvements to the tile shape like the fragile neck area. Overall though I’m really happy with this result!
