What to do if you can’t attend a workshop?
If you desire to take a workshop, but can’t find an affordable one, here are some suggestions.
- Watch the Cordwood Workshop DVD. This video was filmed at several workshops and offers high-quality instruction in how to successfully build a cordwood home, cabin or cottage. From choosing wood, drying wood, calculating amounts of materials, to actual wall building footage, mortar mix choices and dozens of photos of outstanding, best practice builds. Then you can build a practice building to use your knowledge.
Watching the Cordwood Workshop DVD is like having a front-row seat at a workshop (available in the Online Bookstore on this site). The video is an hour long and was filmed at workshops we taught in Wisconsin. There is an incredible amount of information on Best Practices, foundations & framing options, the five mortar mixes, how to build a wall, tuckpointing tips, plumbing, electrical, insulation, exploding logs, bottle bricks, show how to make a wall look good. There is also inspirational drone footage of several cordwood buildings. It is available as a DVD and an immediate digital download. https://cordwoodconstruction.org/product/cordwood-workshop-video-dvd

- Help someone else on their cordwood project.

The cost to attend a workshop is $100 per day. We believe these are the least expensive cordwood workshops in North America.
