The end of the Kickstarter preview movie feels like it stops prematurely or is missing something.

On another note, what about plans for the rocket forge?  I’ve been watching too much Forged in Fire.

Since it took me a full minute to suss out what was cool about a "spinning wheel made from bicycle parts" (bicycle wheels spin just fine, what's this for?), I am thinking that making it more immediately understandable would help, especially since it leads off the list. How about, "wool spinning wheel made from bicycle parts." Or even better, "spinning wheel for wool made from bicycle parts."

Praying my way through the day

Staff note (Jules Silverlock) :

Great, thanks Jerry! Updated now.

Greetings all. My comment is more about the product, less so the kickstarter. I hope that is not too misplaced here.

My experience of seeing video from wheaton labs is that the projects are done by a small army of people, or with heavy equipment, or both. To me, that kinda takes them out of the 'low tech' cause it makes them un-doable for me. I live on a budget most folks could not even eat on, and while I have quite a lot of friends, most don't live nearby and those that do mostly don't have the time to help with bigger projects or are not physically capable.

It'd be nice to see a least most of the projects completed by one or two people and without heavy equipment so the ideas are accessible to more folk.

I understand that the video footage is already captured and now it is a matter of editing, so too late for more 'doable' project footage. Given that, it might be a gift to many to have information  boldly placed so that before someone new to wheaton labs buys the low tech movie they know it might not show them how to accomplish these really cool things on their own.

With gratitude for all you do;
b

Hi Barbara, I think many of the projects are/were smaller and doable by one or two people without heavy equipment...

Thanks Cat!

A question for everyone - how many early bird goodies do you guys think are just the right amount? What's the sweet spot - 10?  15? More? Less?

I'm talking to Andres about what the plans for the mycelium insulated door should look like.  

I'm curious, what would people like most:

1) Detailed plans for how to grow mycelium insulation panels

2) Detailed plans for how to make a tongue-and-groove door for a weird door-frame

3) Detailed plans for how to make a giant wooden Proenneke hinge out of a rootball

4) All of the above

I think I'm just curious if there are people that will benefit from the mycelium method, as a standalone apart from the door.
