How To Straw Bale Building - Original Video Series
Andrew Morrison has a passion for straw bale construction that is matched only by his desire to teach others and help support them to be who they wish to be. His wealth of experience in designing and building conventional, tiny, and straw bale homes was the foundation upon which the strawbale.com community was built.
Through this video series, book, website, and hands-on workshops, he shared his knowledge with thousands. He is enjoying retirement after completing his 100th workshop, and his knowledge continues to inspire bale-builders like yourself through this original video series. Thanks, Andrew!
We’ve included our latest How-to Jobsite Guides, Checklists, and the Bale Needle and Tensioning Fork Plans to support your learning and build. If you want to refresh your hands-on skills and learn updates on building technology, join us at an upcoming workshop.
Happy Baling,
Timbo & Dainella
