Am I missing where the pictures are?

.

It is a bit confusing,the picture is missing from the online version. In the paper they had a photo of one brick in a wood mold.


I believe the author bounced around between installed and material only however, the photo showed one brick hand molded for six bucks. Maybe our U.K. buddy will weigh in,I'm sure he may have ran across something there.

Thank you for finding / posting the pictures ! There are a few companies in the U.S. that still make Norman brick (2.25" x 3.58" x 11.58 " ) AN even smaller number make a Roman (1.58" x 3.58" x 11.58") No company I know in U.S. makes the size of the Danish co. When they see the six bucks a piece they might :laughing:


Just some trivia, Frank Loyd Wright loved to use Roman brick,he would require the head joints to be struck and the beds raked. That would give the building a more horizontal look. He would have killed to have such long brick.
