Where can we get a copy of that video?
Alan in Michigan
HI Alan.. During the mid 2000's many DIYers bought these videos... there were 3 prime ones available. Here is the info on 2
I have publishing rights, also, to reproduce Mike's Fibercerete as video or DVD format if I can find the master copy. (misplaced when I sold the bookstore..sigh)
BUT THE SCISSOR MIXER IS SHOWN IN ANOTHER VIDEO-- listed below. I will find the maker and see if it is available!! That would be useful.
it doesn't matter if DVD, the info is the important part.
Introduction to Fibercrete with Mike McCain
90+ minutes of complete information by the inventor himself! How to make and
mix papercrete, the barrel mixer construction details, and shows many simple wood
forms for blocks and bricks; then pouring and pumping slurry, plus structures he
built, tips, and a burn test.
Papercrete plasters, roofing, panels, laying up a wall, and lots more. There is
nothing like seeing Mike make this stuff to really understand the potential of
papercrete mixes for ultra low cost building. Mike has an easy, comfortable way of
showing fiber/papercrete to its best advantage; he made this video a couple years
ago and never got around to promoting it! It shows everything you need to know
about papercrete/fiber mixes but not the newest scissor mixer. Recommended as the
best video to begin with. #9015...$30.00
Papercrete-City of the Sun (Build-A-Thon)
More than 60 minutes of building techniques, philosophy and on site visits, shows
how papercrete was used to build several homes.
Interviews with Mike McCain; see his latest Scissor-blade mixer in action. Mixer
shown in photo) , plus Danish eco-builder Max Jensen and Sean Sands discuss their
application, and life philosophy, on building at such low cost. Other builders are
interviewed, and their homes are shown. Much discussion on trial and error with
materials such as sealers, waterproofers, and methods too. #1081...$30.
