Does this machine [the CVBT model BP6 manual block press] only make 300 blocks per day?

    A team of 4 experienced people can produce 320 blocks per 8-hour day with one CVBT BP6 manual block press.  There is a team in Lao; 6 men work from dawn to dusk and make 1000 blocks/day with one machine.  The Minsai foundation, that hires them, has built some 23 schools in the past 27 years in Southern Laos using these blocks. During tsunami reconstruction, 2 Burmese worked from dawn to dusk and produced 320 blocks per day.
