yes I use sawdust and chips almost exclusively.. NO mixer is needed,
just a hand drill for smaller projects.
Redwood sawdust when mixed with lime and clay make a perfect
fibercrete fopr infill, wall plaster and sculpted items. I dont use
cement..but gert good results in all I do with these materials.
there are germans methods that and NOT papercrete- two different
aniumals...and it's been used for 800 years so I know it is a good
material to use. 8 story building in germany are simply timber framed
with infill of wc , clay, small stones ( called nogging) clay and
lime.
try everything.search for light straw clay too.
while papecrete is focused on using cement.. it should not be compared
to the more natural mixes which produceexcellent results.
checl out the articles oon www.papercrete.com MANY people use what
they have.. which is chips or sawdust..easy to mix and use. Steve
Chappell in Fox Maple, Joiners Quarterly mag, teaches classes on wall
infill for a natural no burn wall mix. ( yes the studs can burn, but
clay does not) when coated over chips and straw it make is too hard
to flame.
there is a good article at JQ magazine online about wood chip clay--
search "proclay" and see the German article.
