The first pila they make from the molds is kept as a mother pila so they can make new molds from it when eventually they need them. @Stephanie, yes the molds are used and reused many times and that’s why they apply burnt oil to the molds so they separate easily.

I told hubby I want a pila and I want that blue one lol! It is funny because he took a video of his brother's new house in the capital and they had their pila and I was like well, where is the kitchen sink... and he said no they do all the dishwashing and clothes washing in the pila... I can't see myself doing that but I can see having one in my garden area for decor... I enjoyed the series of photos to show how they were made, very informative! I thought it was very interesting!
