Barbara Jones who builds with straw bales in the UK, demonstrates how load bearing straw bale construction works. She shows us the various simple tools and components of straw bale construction (wooden pins that anchor the bales to a base plate, baling twine, the base plate itself, top plates, mallets, baling needle, strapping, etc.).

I’d be really interested to see this – we’re hoping to build a straw bale house. Currently we are pretty off-grid so rely on mobile dongle for internet and can’t watch video. Would there be any chance of getting a dvd cut of this? Be happy to pay a small fee. Kindest regards Kate

Thanks
for visiting The Real Know-How.
Our focus: Passing along essential information for sustainable, self-sufficient living on an individual and community level.
The posts on The Real Know-How speak to how we feed and clothe ourselves, how we generate energy, work, get around and dispose of waste.
This know-how comes from hundreds of ordinary and not-so-ordinary people who are thinking up new ways of doing things and reviving traditional methods.
We’ve got video and photo tutorials (I’m a visual learner), articles and success stories for inspiration.
In selecting what to post we’ve tried to stay away from strongly ideological and jargony content. I think the know-how has to be shared regardless of what school of thought or movement you align with.
