Bamboo is a beautiful material that grows abundantly in Hawai'i. Time to learn how to build with it.

Aloha, just today discovered your site. I lived on Oahu back in the early 60's when husband stationed in Navy. We married on Diamond Head in beautiful flower gardens of a Judge living there. Loves every minute of being in such a paradise. Thank you for your natural use and info of using bamboo. I now live in Arkansas and still in very good health at 76 and have gotten bamboo started through the years. Have used it in my limited knowledge. Your curing the bamboo was the best and easiest. Thank you so much... now to get on with life. You've given me so much to look forward to and to do. Peace and blessings.

Out of the first four videos on bamboo fabrication yours is the best I'm definitely going to try to make those joints... the bamboo I have is actually arendo donax and it only gets to 1 inch diameter Max

Nice build. Bamboo is hella underrated honestly. It's sad that here in my country bamboo is a native plant but our government seems to ignore it's potential.

[jerrywhidby.]

Pine pitch would probably work great on all of those joints.

I like seeing the rusty ass tools, it’s the same here in Peru, everything rusts overnight.

Cool idea. I am thinking about building my terrace-roof with Bamboo. How long does a Bamboo-Roof last? And do you think, I can put solar panels on it?

I’m a NJ Filipino by ancestry & truly intrigued by this video.
As for comment below, saw video bamboo shingles half split along length and laid like Spanish roofing tile. They looked like half pipes interlocked which sounds like would be water resistant. So lay from ridge down to eave & should shed the water like corrugated roofing.

Is it important to treat the wood or does it not matter for bamboo?

[SPMcMillian]

He speaks about safety a lot in Sandals. Lol lol

[braneba]

Great work and mind settings :-) thank you

Hey Sean, really enjoying your video series on Bamboo. I'm wondering if you treated the bamboo you used to build with in the video before you started. If so, which method did you use to preserve it? Thanks again for the great content and I hope that you keep the videos coming!
