@moonman So sorry not to get back to you sooner than this, haven't been on much. No, I have not tried any of this as of yet. I am still in the research and brainstorming phases, with no plans to build for probably 5-6 years yet. I was just crunching numbers.

Single pour dome?
I can't seem to find the post where you had mentioned that you would be attempting a single-pour dome, but I am very curious to know if it has been done yet and how it turned out.

RE: workshop in hawaii
I would just insert here that in addition to the statement that Drexel foam works very well, the price considerations are staggering. At $21.99 per gallon, and mixed at a 160/1 ratio, the Drexel will mix with 160 gallons of water. The same number of gallons would take well over 30 bottles of dish soap. So there really is no reason not to buy the Drexel, just from an economics standpoint.

RE: I wanted to check out the workshops . . .
Sorry I didn't get back to you, life is pretty hectic lately. I did get the information I needed, and am trying to come up with a way to attend in WA with my wife. Don't think it will happen at this point, but that's okay, since we're looking at about a five year timeline for our plans to relocate and build one of these houses. I am hoping that sometime down the road we'll see a couple of workshops a little closer to ND.

I wanted to check out the workshops . . .
When I clicked on the "attend a workshop" button, it asked me for my email address and password, but there is no link that I can find to create a login.

RE: Larger slab molds?
@hajjargibran This is good, but I was referring to a part of one of your videos where you said there would be another video forthcoming on how to make archway molds or curved wall molds. I mean, I know that it will involve the metal bender and wood forms to make, but I am wondering if the bender comes with instructions on how to make different sized arches for the inner part of the mold, and are you making the wood arches by boiling or steaming the wood, or some other method?

Larger slab molds?
I saw on one of your videos something about molds to create entire sections of wall rather than individual brick. Now I don't see anything about them. Did it turn out to be less sound, or do you plan to start selling molds or make a video on how to make the molds?
