Great article on your cob oven. Check out mine at http://www.naturalbuilder.org
It's not as detailed as yours but does get the message across.

The coalition would be happy to share any of the start-up info we have come up with so far. You will likely be surprised at the response you get.

You can contact me directly for more start-up info.

Hello coblist,<br> <br>I think this is my first (maybe 2nd) post.  I've been lurking for a long time. Waiting until I<br>have all my chicks in order.  They're now in order.  I just moved into my new<br>place in the country.  About an hour and a half north of Atlanta, GA.  I've been<br>reading all the books, visiting cob homes/buildings from coast to coast (cob cottage to<br>gypsyfarm), doing research on the internet, and now feel educated enough to start<br>my own natural building projects.  There is a huge difference between book learning and<br>hands on experience, tho, so I'm starting small.  You can see my first cob project at:<br>www.owlswamp.com    - an earthen oven.  For now, here's the help I need.  I want to hear from those on the list that have direct experience mixing cob in large batches.  I've read about using a rototiller and that sounds good to me. It fits my budget (I can't afford a tractor).   I'm a visual learning type person (as you can tell by my web site if you visit it). <br>If there's anyone who has details such as this on their site, let me know.  I wish there<br>were more pictures of "how I built it with cob" on the WWW...<br>Also, I'd really like to get some kind of Georgia Cobbers Assoc. going if there are any interested parties (like the NC and DC groups)....thanks for any help.<br> <br> <br> <br><br><br>---------------------------------<br>Do you Yahoo!?<br>Protect your identity with Yahoo!
