Thank you so much as a steel stud builder with over 50 years i am very intrested in this material it will be the future i am retired and want to learn all i can... Thank you..
Really enjoy your videos. I’m a general contractor on the residential side of construction. Have Been trying to obtain as much information as possible to start using hemp in my builds. Please please please keep posting videos. You’re like my own personal R & D guy! Haha.
This is an amazing tutorial. Just grew my first fiber crop and the information in this video plus the items that you show in the video that you made truely inspire me. I plan to make similar items except they will be in jewelry form. But, I was particularly interested in the building material. I really like the idea about using the pvc as a form. I have been making jewelry with hemp fiber using epoxy as well. It is an amazing color agent as well for me. Your video has inspired me to make some things with material from my crop for an upcoming event that I am having. You are truly amazing. Thank you so much for sharing.
How's the crop been going? Still growing? I'm looking into industrial hemp for building purposes as well. I know about hempcrete but I think hemp composites would be sufficient, if not better for building environments. Let me know if you want to get something going. I have shop space and im looking into processing equipment
I was looking at growing some to experiment with in SC. But it’s $600 in permit fees, which is almost as much as you can sell an acre for. It’d be nice if they had a system for smaller residential type growers with smaller fee
@ l have a small farm in South Carolina we can work together. I don’t believe I will have to pay to much in fees I will let you know . I appreciate you reaching out with your comment. Your work is a benefit to the world.
The hemp we just harvested bent two 1/4" steel plates and a 2" shaft in a JD 770 Combine. If we hadnt stopped the operator, the combine would have pulled itself apart. We did 60 acres this year in OR
Thanks man, I believe Hemp can change the construction world, your videos just proves it... Working on a hemp processing plant and p.s I cannot access hemp yet as it's still requires strict licencing in India
Wondering if you need a more fibrous filler, like blending finer when paper making, for mixing more uniformly... along with mixing critically prior to processing, i.e. extruding, molding, etc.
You sir have a lot of useful knowledge regarding hempcrete building materials. Subscribed. I am planning a small starter house for the family combining hempcrete and cordwood but I've always wondered if a pigment could be added to the hempcrete to add color.
I was waiting to see how strong these are in tests. Compare it to traditional materials like metal beams the same size and concrete/rebar pillars and building bricks
@Cosh Row Biggest day this might help early concept, Hemp bast fiber and PVA uniquely durable, if shear strength is needed bio-epoxy is available Made a I beam check out that video as well Cheers Hemp Bast fiber composite tube, body panel" on TH-cam th-cam.com/video/zxj-86NIf8U/w-d-xo.html
@Cosh Row IDK 🤔 but if you Do teach me😏 Made a flat basket weave of Raw fiber didn't do what I actually wanted it's extremely thin so Alternate layers at different angles worked better for me
Really really cool content. I just wish there was a written recipe to all the products. I know you probably told os... but for me it was a hard to get the details.... maybe there was too many products in the same video. But thank you very much.
The information is there Just in Different videos is all, believe this was only an overview If you have a Particular question ask One at a time, do my best to answer
Wow! I love your drive to test and tinker with better designs and applications of hemp. You seem like the man to ask my question to. I live in Florida and I am planning on building a Quonset hut home to protect myself and my stuff from hurricanes. My thought is to also cover the Quonset hut with a couple feet of hempcrete for insulation and impact resistance, but I've heard that hempcrete doesn't stand up to direct weather (rain) very well. I always hear the contractors say "as long as it has a roof it will last for centuries". Well, what if I want to use it AS the roof? Maybe you know a way?
It's simple Puritan mentatity, Hemp Fiber is manufacturing manna you just need thing out side the box some HempLime is Not suitable for exposure, HempCrete 'IS' for anything in a human lifetime, Actually floats well if you augment the mix design or modified the same with monomers, sodium silicates, Simply Alchemy is all nothing New under the Sun
I just stumbled on this video and will go back and watch some of the others. I imagine you're familiar with "Roman concrete". Have you tried integrating any volcanic ash into your mixes? Clay? I'm really intrigued by that I-beam. I've often wondered if hemp could be made structural. Also, are there natural binders that can work? Hide glue maybe? Dunno, just riffing here.
Well done bro, make some hemp rope? we need as many people utilizing it for as many of its different uses as possible, time for a hemp revolution this plant can provide us food medicine and shelter, some of those hemp houses are so awesome!!! Peace and love brother legalize it 2020
You have 5 billion clients if this system can get started. Imagine growing the crop, processing, panelising, and having no design limits. R value would be terrific in a 5" SIPE because unlike a wood stud wall and fiberglass, it would be a breathable wall of ANY shape that will turn to stone. Slip molds and pressure systems are an area for large scale production. Any Idea what the R value is on a 4" panel? Hard to pin down as there will be thermal mass involved without lab testing.
@@mrglasecki yes but I am talking about a a structure only 400 sqft total as a design limit. I design in the Park Model RV field mostly for seniors, singles and couples.I am remodeling a used one by letting contracts one at a time on a fixed income...Also on www.tugboatwilly.com. I may add a book to the 11 book series I am doing if Hemp keeps up this pace of development. My questions about 4" R Value was for a factory setting. I would not be surprised heating and A/C costs for a 4" Hempcrete wall would better a conventional wood framed fiberglass insulated wall in this industry and still have all the Hemp value...I just don't know about the weight for transport down the road to site.
Could you slipform, monolithic cast, or 3D print in place,.? Geo polymer is monomer modified to be exothermic, 1 hour cast (out of forms in 4 hours) Concrete monomer modified can be pumped and printed as well they do take longer in monolithic cast and slipform even casting in a factory would take up space, and mold time
@@mrglasecki again what I deign is mainly for factory production. A printing machine itself can be shipped to Puerto Rico and be spitting out wind resistant homes every day but we have a Dick Tater that wants to punish the president of Puerto Rico???? True a convertible factory could be set up to produce panel Hemp walls and roof panels anywhere the plan will grow. A little solar and wind generator complex could produce all necessary power for production (strange when I was in 'Nam for two tours we had something called Seabees that could build ANYTHING at speed under enemy fire)( I suppose that has been sublet to tRump building Inc.) I do feel hemp can circumvent the current Federal Bureaucracy that is skimming 90% of all housing development funds from ALL federal projects. Citizens will just have to roll up their sleeves and get the job done....Like most successful projects you reach a point where the engineer has to be shot so the job can be done.( an industry hourly worker SOP)
Thanks for sharing man very interesting!! I can't help but thinking that grinding up the plant material so that the chunks are maybe 1/4 the size we see in the vid, would make it much stronger?? Have you experimented with changing the material size?? I'm thinking it would take away the size of gaps inside the material to make the bonds and supports closer to one another. Might make it less insulating but probably denser too....

Hi i have a question, I am working on making a tabletop out of hempcrete and wanted to know if adding bast into the mix would make it so that i do not need a structure underneath or if i need to make a bast layer so that it can withstand the weight of itself and the future load??
Okay not positive how you are planning your project🤔😏 As long as adiquit material is used to accommodate your engineering Your project should turn Out 😎
currently I'm doing my final year bachelor project on the same hemp composite can i know what else binder did u use other than hydrated lime?it would be very helpful if i can know it
Excellent bro. I'm trying to make a hemp house out of my homemade shiv. I used a corn silo chipper and got a mix of fiber n shiv, hand sifted then chipped again on a small chipperand still so much fiber. My challenge is how to efficiently get pure shiv form waste hempstalks? There must be a way to make my own, else pay good money to a company. All this fancy technology didn't exist 200 years ago. So I must find a way to do it.
Actually it was still around sixty years ago just not used and now Long since scraped, Otherwise chopped and screened is a way, to Do it, but can't suggest that for strength of any form Crushed is Much better than anything chopped, crushed it naturally breaks up 3"-10" shreds Bast fiber might need to be cut with a shear This with a Absolutely open cell structure Great Luck with your Hemp house project 🤗 hope to see the video🥰
What a great video. I have a quick question. What would you recommend of a lightweight 40mm H x 300mmL x 300mmL that can be routed? I greatly appreciate what you have done.
@@mrglasecki sorry about that. I want to make a lightweight guitar body from hemp that needs to be routed after it is moulded. just wanted to know what your mix recommendation would be.

@@fabtolli VERY to separate the Hemp oil potassium hydroxide KOH @ 1 part to 10 part hemp oil Shake Wait 15-60 minutes You have organic diesel and the Sticky glycerin resin base
Hey great video, very informative. I am thinking of making something with hemp fibers. How can I get a smooth outer surface of the shape that I cast, does it needs machining or should I just cut the fibers finely?
@@mrglasecki am going to assume that it is still one bag shiv to one bag mgo though as stiff as mgo gets might not take nearly the amount one would need lime to make hempcrete. I went looking this morning on the internet to purchase mgo powder could not find anyplace how odd is that
Hi great video just a couple of questions, 1 if you cast it with a resin do then compress it like paper mache fire bricks, 2 is there much shrinkage as it sets like if I made a 4 inch or 100mm cube does t stay that size. Sorry for random ish questions but toying with ideas for building blocks.
We love your videos and wanted to know if you can use one of them to share this wonderful information your sharing about hempcrete? We are growing a community of people to build our knowledge about this plant, maybe you can join us and post some of your test results
Thanks for the info n reply. I did think about crushing. I have tons of roots available for R&D also stalks will crush much easier but roots seem a waste to discard since they a so strong n more woody. I will do it. It probably matters if it is a plant that doesn't have much wooden core or not as tall. Ones I use are mainly are discarded from leaf n bud, flower varieties. But still have so much wood.
@@BellozeCountry *made a video on the Roots, 🤔 might not be up😏 Short of it' there is Serious inhibitors in the rhizome, that don't directly affect Hemp growth, some other crops, yet defies succulent growth Use caution even composting
Yeah😂🤣 Sorry that's just Too many to guess through * Just a fast break down Use hemp bast for strength shiv for insulation MgO and calcium chloride for exothermic or calcium silicate (Portland) acrilic modified for workability Good luck in Your research
@@mrglasecki I haven't done this kind of research, I ask because flax is the fiber most associated with hemp, at least in textiles they are said to be pretty much the same.
@@slicktires2011 ahh I understand the conundrum, flax is a level of processing not the actual fiber and can reference several fibers that are only simar in fabric "handling" that's "Europe" verbage as just is a dewaxed raw Hemp Bast fiber "can" be called jute so can several others 😆😂🤣😅 "Industrial Hemp Beginnings" just made a video of it please check out the difference hopefully it helps and ALWAYS handle the material and always research
@@slicktires2011 so that didn't answer it directly understandably if you Handled Hemp Bast fiber you Will never mistake it as you might other fibers, even at different levels of processing Hemp Bast fiber is significantly different and Nothing resembling " fuzz/pulp Fiber" that would be the Shiv Fiber (inner hardwood) Cannabis is a Extremely fast growing hardwood tree, not a plant, succulent, row crop, weed,. etc
@@mrglasecki recycling plastic is everywhere and free can add magnesium oxide to it to give it better thermal propertys beens eeing people in india doing it
Make sure to buy bio-based epoxy resins rather than petroleum-based epoxy. It's a little more expensive but it kinda defeats the purpose of we mix renewable hemp with non-renewable epoxy, just my two cents'
* Actually the reason we use Hemp bast hemicellulose, is it's >more than several times stronger than steel by weight * captures CO2 and has a symbiotic relationship with mycellium building (struggling to maintain) the humic layers, and if we can undermine the capitalist structure 🤷♂️ it's a gain
@@mrglasecki Thanks. Gonna sub and check them out. BTW, not to be a total A-hole but ' the word is "extrude" (not "xcrude"). I used to operate an extruder in a plastic factory. :^) Saint
@@mrglasecki Ha, yeah, I know what you mean. I was raised Redneck in Southern Ohio (anyone from north of us were Yankees). Actually, my kin are all Jazz musicians but, "If you want to eat, you play Country". :^)
If OSB was stronger than steel by weight 😏 hemp bast hemicellulose is a multi layered nano fiber Fully capable of making Hull's for offshore Blue water racing boat's "Hemp Bast fiber composite tube, body panel" on TH-cam th-cam.com/video/zxj-86NIf8U/w-d-xo.html
@@mrglasecki really? Can it be used structurally? I’m working on a hemp wall, but would prefer a hemp solution to the structure instead of a wood structure for the load-bearing. Just trying to understand where to start with understanding if (some kind of) hemp composite could be used instead of the wood beams?

My challenge is how to efficiently get pure shiv form waste hempstalks? There must be a way to make my own, else pay good money to a company. All this fancy technology didn't exist 200 years ago. So I must find a way to do it.
Actually it was still around sixty years ago just not used and now Long since scraped,
Otherwise chopped and screened is a way, to Do it, but can't suggest that for strength of any form
Crushed is Much better than anything chopped, crushed it naturally breaks up 3"-10" shreds Bast fiber might need to be cut with a shear
This with a Absolutely open cell structure
Great Luck with your Hemp house project 🤗 hope to see the video🥰
What a great video. I have a quick question. What would you recommend of a lightweight 40mm H x 300mmL x 300mmL that can be routed? I greatly appreciate what you have done.
Can you re word that with more words
@@mrglasecki sorry about that. I want to make a lightweight guitar body from hemp that needs to be routed after it is moulded. just wanted to know what your mix recommendation would be.
@@fabtolli two part epoxy nothing but stacked layers of Bast Fiber fabric
degassed pre 'wet' fabric left near critical (cold)
assemble and pull a 'serious' vacuum 0.8 bar or better
You'll have a 'blank' cnc millable
You'll have a Bad Ass Ax ot Body armour use as you see fit
mrglasecki thanks so much. Now to research what you just suggested. How about a hemp oil resin? Is that possible?
@@fabtolli VERY to separate the Hemp oil
potassium hydroxide KOH @ 1 part to 10 part hemp oil
Shake
Wait 15-60 minutes
You have organic diesel and the Sticky glycerin resin base
What about pressboard from hemp

Hey great video, very informative. I am thinking of making something with hemp fibers. How can I get a smooth outer surface of the shape that I cast, does it needs machining or should I just cut the fibers finely?
Gel coating the form with a light epoxy might help simar to fiberglass
can one substitute magnesium oxide for the lime to make hempcrete and will it effect the insulation value
Be worth a try 🤷♂️
@@mrglasecki am going to assume that it is still one bag shiv to one bag mgo though as stiff as mgo gets might not take nearly the amount one would need lime to make hempcrete. I went looking this morning on the internet to purchase mgo powder could not find anyplace how odd is that
@@stevepailet8258 assume what you want
How and where to purchase hemp fibre for composite materials use?
Hi great video just a couple of questions, 1 if you cast it with a resin do then compress it like paper mache fire bricks, 2 is there much shrinkage as it sets like if I made a 4 inch or 100mm cube does t stay that size. Sorry for random ish questions but toying with ideas for building blocks.
With no resin binder I have tried, and it's not going to shrink like say Adobe either
@@mrglasecki thanks 👍
We love your videos and wanted to know if you can use one of them to share this wonderful information your sharing about hempcrete? We are growing a community of people to build our knowledge about this plant, maybe you can join us and post some of your test results
I've been in Hemp Bast fiber research for a minute, figured I'm in it to Win it as it is😎
Answering all that I Can 🤗
@@mrglasecki hempyshub.com/page/view-discussion?id=2 will you check us out and maybe sign up, we would love to have you in the community
Thanks for the info n reply. I did think about crushing. I have tons of roots available for R&D also stalks will crush much easier but roots seem a waste to discard since they a so strong n more woody. I will do it. It probably matters if it is a plant that doesn't have much wooden core or not as tall. Ones I use are mainly are discarded from leaf n bud, flower varieties. But still have so much wood.
@@BellozeCountry
*made a video on the Roots, 🤔
might not be up😏
Short of it' there is Serious inhibitors in the rhizome, that don't directly affect Hemp growth, some other crops, yet defies succulent growth
Use caution even composting
In ancient Cathay they mixed sticky rice in the mortar and its still standing as the great wall of China...
* Makes a good additive for poor quality clay casting, also
What was your mix ratio to make the hand made demo type you got there. It Looks like a really nice finish.
Yeah😂🤣 Sorry that's just Too many to guess through
* Just a fast break down
Use hemp bast for strength shiv for insulation
MgO and calcium chloride for exothermic or calcium silicate (Portland) acrilic modified for workability
Good luck in Your research
@@mrglasecki hi, do you think silicone casts can replace pvc pipes? Would I get a nice finish if I waxed it as well?
@@ibrahimabdulle8121 silicone should work without wax definitely with
Slick finish can be nothing more than Saran wrap
🙏
great stuff. What about using Bee's wax? @Johannesburg...
Very interesting! how does hemp fiber and composites compare to flax?
How did flax stand up next to steel in your research, Hemp Bast is a two to one in strength to weight Over steel
@@mrglasecki I haven't done this kind of research, I ask because flax is the fiber most associated with hemp, at least in textiles they are said to be pretty much the same.
@@slicktires2011 ahh I understand the conundrum, flax is a level of processing not the actual fiber and can reference several fibers that are only simar in fabric "handling" that's "Europe" verbage as just is a dewaxed raw Hemp Bast fiber "can" be called jute so can several others 😆😂🤣😅
"Industrial Hemp Beginnings" just made a video of it please check out the difference hopefully it helps and ALWAYS handle the material and always research
@@slicktires2011 so that didn't answer it directly understandably if you Handled Hemp Bast fiber you Will never mistake it as you might other fibers, even at different levels of processing Hemp Bast fiber is significantly different and Nothing resembling " fuzz/pulp Fiber" that would be the Shiv Fiber (inner hardwood)
Cannabis is a Extremely fast growing hardwood tree, not a plant, succulent, row crop, weed,. etc
Please is corn starch is strong binder for fiber board
Can't say I've used corn starch, if I have I don't remember, good luck tell me how it goes
Have you ever considered adding melted plastic with sand
For the purpose of🤔
@@mrglasecki recycling plastic is everywhere and free can add magnesium oxide to it to give it better thermal propertys beens eeing people in india doing it
@@prototype9000 well not heard that one😁 wondering the catalyst 🤔
maybe acrylics to bind the plastics
It's the future lumber goes up to record numbers then plummets because of hemp fibers
Make sure to buy bio-based epoxy resins rather than petroleum-based epoxy.
It's a little more expensive but it kinda defeats the purpose of we mix renewable hemp with non-renewable epoxy, just my two cents'
* Actually the reason we use Hemp bast hemicellulose, is it's >more than several times stronger than steel by weight * captures CO2 and has a symbiotic relationship with mycellium building (struggling to maintain) the humic layers, and if we can undermine the capitalist structure 🤷♂️ it's a gain
can it be used as a fence pole?
Sir can you please guide about the composition of these products.🙏
Very cool work man, have you built anyhting large with hemp? Also, the word is "extrude" : say it like "EX TRUDE" ;-)
Excellent video, man. I came looking for different binders. Yay!
Do you have any specific recipes? Thanks!
Just sane :^) Saint
Only what I mention in the various videos
@@mrglasecki Thanks. Gonna sub and check them out.
BTW, not to be a total A-hole but ' the word is "extrude" (not "xcrude"). I used to operate an extruder in a plastic factory. :^) Saint

So where do we get all this hemp?!
Several farm's locally how much do you want 😁
So could you build the frame of a car such (1984 chevy corvette )
Frames, body panels, anything structural would be a Definite, Yes
Nodular steel would be used in suspension and steering only
Interesting video mate, have you tried experimenting with bamboo to get higher tensile strength?
actually not yet, have been trying mycilium as adhesive
Hemp Bast fiber is stronger than steel
@@mrglasecki really? Can it be used structurally? I’m working on a hemp wall, but would prefer a hemp solution to the structure instead of a wood structure for the load-bearing. Just trying to understand where to start with understanding if (some kind of) hemp composite could be used instead of the wood beams?
@@markschellhas
Might consider

grow mushrooms in hemp fiber
Actually believe the ground Shiv of the Hurd (actual hardwood core) would be extremely good,.
@@mrglasecki would love to see a experiment i think the bi-product would be super strong
Yes, baked the fungus would be molecular adhesive

I'll tell you a curiosity which you might don't know....
Did you know that polish surnames ended up with
-ski
-cki
-dzki
were only for nobility
families? :)
So you got nobility roots!
btw man, can you tell me what are mixing ratio for hemp blocks, please? I wanted to try it out in here.
Regards.
@@wake_nbake93 got me on the nobility, but if any family has a castle
I can absolutely rebuild it Apocalyptic 😁 with Hemp
Please describe the block (normal hemp-lime is 4:1:1)
Almost sure I give what I've used in the various mix designs
Yet I can't give ratios for custom mix designs that's dangerous at Best 😏 nor will anything I've done work as well with various other fiber's
have had Several attempt to use kenaf (basically okra cellulose with the strength of cotton) absolutely failure
Interesting.
Thanks for making.
But too much information and difficult to follow.
Suggestion: put the samples on a long table with a "nameplate" in front of each one that describes what it is. Then briefly " introduce" each one, then go back and start talking about each one in detail.
Wait what about turning it to stone?
