Wonderfully filmed and presented. I’ve seen MANY videos and none have come close to explaining so well how to apply plaster. The video flowed well, the angles were very helpful, and I understand everything. Well done, and thank you!

[@megaswenson]

SO non-toxic! No outgassing - ever. And no toxic fumes, if there were a fire. Biodegradable to the point where you could compost your walls.

[@StephenMoller]

Great work to get this out in a professional format, this is what the Ecological building movement needs. Beautiful work guys.

[@aprilprichard]

I love the sounds of this video! I was a painter/sheetrock finisher for about 20 years and always loved the sound of troweling mud, but trowels sounds for straw plaster is much better! :)

Dude, I never, NEVER, turn on notifications on the channels I am subscribed to, but I just did for this channel. Can't wait for more videos.

[@JimmyCapricorn77]

Wonderful tutorials guys. I’ve learned so much from your videos and finished a couple of walls of my own. Keep up the videos!

This is one of my favorite KZbin channels!

Love your videos, and especially your work! Simple, informative, artistic, inspiring ...

[@timtravasos2742]

That looks so good. I'd love that in my home. I'm going to try a section and see how it goes.

[@brewmorgan8942]

What a beautiful look.. Tremendous potential for so many applications. Thank you.

Beautifully done guys...very artistically shot. Truly expresses the nature of the materials and the craft inherent in the process.

@@TheNitoProject I found small rocks are ok. I have a big super hard brick of about 30 lbs I made. It is 10 to 12 inches X 14 or 15 inches X 4 inches thick. I just shoveled three or four shovels of soil on my Arizona mountain property and added some cut dried long mountain grass and water and small sand like rocks from the top of one of the Any mounds and it turned out super sticky. It would not fall off my hand upside down when trying to shake it off. Right away, I said, this is the kind of stuff I need to build my 20X 30 cabin to stay warm in.. I think I would like to do a combination of Adobe bricks, Strawbale and Cob. Make roof real strong and put metal on roof with wood box frames on top of metal, then add Strawbales and another layer of sheet metal. I am not sure how it goes on the roof. I need to Google the video I partially seen.. want to make a super Cheep mountain retreat for anytime during the spring, summer, fall, winter as well.. Something that a couple people can build in a short time from May to October. Add windows, two doors and 8 feet of porch & awning all around cabin. Part of porch can be a screened in porch to stay away from summer mosquitos and June bugs while pickin banjo and sipping iced sweet tea. 😊😊

[@abunghao]

I come from a real mud plaster user community, my original old house was all mud plaster. Clay is ok. We use finer sand which is almost silty, and no straws at this stage. The fine straw comes from cow dung, maybe around 1/4 is cowdung in the mix. The finish is like cement. And then lime wash.

[@ozziegreen4850]

I thought lime is toxic

[@Bleepbleepblorbus]

​@@ozziegreen4850It is, but it should be fine if you're wearing gloves (I think)

[@sz4179]

Lime is Caustic and dangerous but not toxic.

beautiful trowel handling

[@RamonaRayTodosSantosBCS]

You’d laugh at my cob! But it’s been up for two years now no problems- no tools just Ramona’s feet! I found red clay, so later on I will do second coat- mine is crooked uneven, no straw. Wild grass, very primitive

[@jimwilleford6140]

But you did it. Starting is the key I think.

Aha, this looks very similar to some Japanese plaster techniques I've seen, very cool. Straw instead of seaweed for glue, but otherwise looks like Japanese plaster. I like it!

Up till now, in Algeria, some people build their home, in villages, and mountains using this way.it gives you freshness in summer , and the warmth of the clay in winter , and deeply you feel, mysteriously calm.

[@xoxliltina12xox]

this video is so beautiful and informative!! im so happy i found you! question... is this an alternative for lime plaster ? or does this need to go below lime plaster?

[@naoyukisasanami]

I heard an interesting story. A Japanese plaster master whom a designer hired was too perfect and completed without textures so an intern ended up with roughly finish

[@kadinploae]

bless you

[@BESHYSBEES]

Marshall town my favourite trowel, they feel good in your hand. I used to use tyzac trowels I troweled for 15 yrs but after having cancer I don’t do it anymore it’s too physical

[@1wasserbitte255]

I prefer Lime plastering, but I like your plastering

[@calexiou69]

I think I have said many times how amazing you guys are. I have a question? My plaster that looks similar to the above dusts a little to the touch. What could be the reason? I will probably linseed oil it at the end to stop dusting but still I wander why it dusts as is as you say above that it should be dust free. Thank you for your time.

[@jimwilleford6140]

Again. Amazing. What surface is best to do this over? Thanks!
