I don't know yet.  

Before setting prices, I kinda need to decide if we are going to do the event at all.  So this thread is about guaging interest.



I'd love to come but we need a vaccine before or I ain't getting on no plane.

Did I hear mention of a RMH jamboree October 2020 on the recent podcast?
No mention on the Wheaton-labs.com site.
Please let me know. Flights are expensive and my partner will need convincing I can leave. I also have commitments in October I cannot get out of I hope the dates work.
Thanks

Gathering data ....

I just downloaded it.  Quickly and without a blip.   And my internet connection is mediocre.

Anybody else download it okay?

Dan, what is your internet connection like?  What is your browser and os?  Is it possible to try something else, or a different internet connection to see if we can narrow the problem down?



Internet connection is fairly stable and I do not usually have issues.

I made a rookie mistake not to try another browser and It's working now.

I WAS using OSX and Chrome initially and that did not work.

I'm NOW using OSX and firefox now without a problem

Thanks

After watching videos and researching I feel like the bell bench would be the best option. Not a whole lot of info out there that I can find. Really going on Matt's explanation and the Sundog rebuild video for the construction tips. I've got access to tons of reclaimed cinder blocks. Thinking of using those, filled with cob, for the walls of the chamber then cobbing over and plastering with the same material I use on the floor. Maybe use paving stones for the top of the bench depending on how cheap I can get them. Other option would be to hammer out pieces of drum can like he did in the Sundog video. If anyone has other ideas I'm more than interested.



Hi Peter,

You can find my videos from a recent bell build on my youtube channel.

You should leave the hair/straw out on the last coat for sure. If you want to remove it now, just go over it with a small propane torch and it will burn away very easy.
If you want to try lime, you need to dry it out 200% and wait for any cracking to finish.
If you use hydrated lime I have a recipe.
If you want to make lime putty, you need to soak it now and leave it as long as possible. We are talking months ideally
