Hi all! 👋 New here and happy to find this group
I'm a builder based in southern Utah — would love to connect with any other Southwest folks in here! I recently got to work with Sir Cobalot, which was a great experience, and I'm looking forward to going deeper — his cob oven course is next on my list. Has anyone here done an oven yet? I'd love to hear how it went! Feel free to say hi as well 👋 I attached a photo of a recent sculpture I did out of cob that I'm very proud of!

@Martin Stenflo thank you so much! I used metal mesh (hardware cloth) and anchored it into the cob. I also used wire and nails in spots to create more stability. Then you cover is all in slip and can cob right on it, pressing into the mesh deeply. Here's a picture! Sorry it isn't the greatest!

@Michelle Caron thank you so much for your kind words and guidance on cob ovens!
Cobin site. Has anyone done a greenhouse roof with a cobin?
Hello, this is a picture of the site for my cobin that will be my greenhouse and Art Studio in colorado. I'm currently leveling the ground and digging out a trench for a french drain since the site is at the bottom of a hill. I'm also collecting pallets and I'm planning for the roof to be part living room and parts triple layer polycarbonate to let light in. Has anyone done a roof like that before?

Hi! Super curious how this is coming along, I love your idea for the roof
I framed a door
We got this cool door on Facebook marketplace. It has a rounded top, so I had to build an arch for the frame. Started off by making a rectangle, right where the arch starts, then once that part of the frame was in place, I could cut the top of the rectangle and put in the arch, if that makes sense. Chiseled some slots for the hinges. I still need to make a round window for the door, probably I will cut some acrylic or plexiglass.
