Cob: Tie Downs [Tawyn]

Wed Dec 18 14:07:08 CST 2002

Hi Tawyn. That *is* what I was talking about. They are approximately 4 foot long augers, and they do have a place on top where ordinarily you would attach the metal strips from the trailer to tighten them down. I see no reason why they would not work. They could be hung from the supported beam and cobbed in as you go is what I was thinking. Our trailer has eight of them that we will not be needing once we get the cob house up. Just thought it would be  a good, secure, and cheap [since we already have them]way to get the job done.

Hi! 
Sorry to come in in the middle of the conversation
like this, but I have a thought. 
I wonder if what Kim ment are the corkscrew/auger bit
style tie downs that I've seen used for trailers. I
imagine they would work. (I'm really new to cob, just
starting an oven to get the feel for it)  They do
have an eye that you could tie a beam down to with
cable. 
 Anyways, Hi I'm new to all this. Read alot and just
 begining to mess with it some.
