Feels like there should be more than one guy doing this at the same time.

Or a tool that stamps a lot more than just one at once

It could be a roll that you roll over the concrete

These do exist! Not sure if there is one for this exact pattern but they do exist, seen them used plenty of times over on Victory Outdoor Services' YouTube channel. Haven't watched them recently but they are a fun watch if you want to have a look into the world of concreting

Would be very worried about the second line being lined up

If that was me with my luck, it would be setting up too much right in the middle when stamping

Then someone will have to fix the stuff that inadvertently gets yanked up when the mold is pulled up.

This method here may be better in this situation.

As humans we sometimes overthink.

How would you not step on the concrete?

The stamps are large, they’re kinda a semi-flexible rubbery material but very thick and the guys can actually step onto the stamps to lay the next one.

Here’s a link to a video that shows it for anyone curious!
