Ken Kern was a big fan of simplifying building methods. In the Last Whole Earth Catalog, pg 102, he said he used a Cinva Ram block maker to build two houses, but preferred the slipform method of earth wall building using a Magdiel form, and soil-cement, & clay-sawdust.

See many cool 1960s and 1970s Out Of Print books on the "ONE OF A KIND-Hard to Find" page. The owner builder DIY spirit shines in many of these books written then.. and salvaging, recycling and being creative with all materials is popular again..and I keep a good collection of these treasures of the 'hippie back to the land' period in stock!
