Why I Don't Hand-Sculpt Cob Walls Anymore
I've been working with the cob slipform method (using forms to shape and construct cob walls) since about 2020. I would definitely have a hard time going back to hand-sculpting cob walls. Unless I was only interested in getting that more organic, uneven look to my walls. But in this video, I explain more of why I won't be hand-sculpting cob walls anymore. The new method is so much better in almost all aspects.

Thanks for sharing this, Alex! I really like this stuff! And I want to install it in my new house 🏡 so I really like the last couple of options that don’t need any code approval
They Built a 1 Acre Homestead — It Makes Them $13,000 a Week
This was a really good video that appeared in my feed a few days ago. Wanted to share! They even built a timber frame and strawbale house, which they show a little bit of in the video.

Cob Quonset House - photos
Here are some photos from the "Cob Quonset House" that we completed a few years back. The home builder had put up a metal quonset hut structure, and they wanted the two end walls filled in with cob. Here's what it looks like!

@Alex Sumerall that sounds like a big problem. But I can understand why the concrete company wouldn’t want to get a lot of colour in the concrete truck 🥴 Is there a way to swirl in some color onto the top of the slab before it starts to set?

I've just begun the layout for constructing my new timberframe kitchen. Watch to see how I do the layout. Please leave questions. I'd like to document this construction for you all here in the Skool group.

This is going to be really nice! I can’t wait to see how your timber frame comes together. it’ll be interesting to learn about your thinking / decision process of what to fill the walls with. 🤔
