Chinese Cinder Block Factory:

Setup on his front yard and what will someday be a sidewalk this guy is making cinder blocks.  My uncle built his own house and to save money made his own cinder blocks for the cellar foundation.

Part of the same factory was a section making roof "tiles" from cement and an internal synthetic fiber, possibly fiber glass.  The machine in the background is an size/edge trimmer.

A simple operation needing only a block mold.
