[Cob] cobbing pics

I'm wondering what the people with experience out there feel about using
"cobber's thumbs" or some other implement to weave the wall together. If you
are not in an earthquake zone is this necessary?

I would think if you leave the top of each course rough and bumpy the layers
would hold together as long as you were going vertically and not doing an
arch or whatnot.

Congrats Fran on actually starting your project... I'm still in the dreaming
stages.
