I got that picture off flickr.com. I could not find a picture that was a portable bandsaw. I tried to get out to the site to see his actual operations but he kept getting "Overwhelmed with orders" So I only got an interview over the phone and then filled in the blanks.

Ramy was not at this stage in his process, but he mentioned it usually take 3 coats of the finish. The final coat usually has a higher cement content. Limestone, sand, water, and portland cement are the common ingredients. Sometimes earthen plasters can be used. One thing I forgot to mention was the stucco/plaster finish.

It also dries much quicker and has greater tensile strength compared to rammed earth.
