Straw Light Clay Packing Party Part II

November 4, 2019
Straw Light Clay, Timber Frame Cabin
The walls are about 2/3rd packed at this point. We had another work party last weekend that put a significant dent in the walls downstairs.

Here’s a video of packing day:

And here are some stills with more details:

We moved the tumbler to other end of the porch so the the tumbled straw could fall right in the bucket.  It worked really well having a couple of people feed the tumbler and one person on the other end doing quality control. We also had 3 barrels of clay slip prepared for this work party.

This is when I picked both Jean and Paul’s pockets

Jeremy is really getting into his work here

I labelled the forms with their dimensions. It made it finding the right sized form for a space much easier.

Some dance routine I guess?
