How could you make "wood" out of hemp for building houses?

not easily, wood is a complex composite material that we can't replicate even using all of the modern materials that we have develped.

There are various sites that explain how to build a paper blimp, just scale them up, as far as material goes you need an airtight flexible material that isnt subject to uv attack, mylar is the favorite.

From a packin peanut tree!\n\nNo, in reality from an extrusion macine that mixes chemicals together to form the foam product. As it exits the machine they are cut by a rotating knife to the desired length.

Use chicken wire to make a volcano like thing, then cover it with plaster. paint it and add trees and stuff like that. then mix vinegar, red dye and baking soda together to make the lava.

what size are we talking here? small use some of that packing material and use a exacto (sp) knife to form, shape sides roof , put it together with something that won't melt the Styrofoam

You can grow a tree and fireproof it. Or find something with a pretty high combustion point and internalize the tree with. PERHAPS the tree won't burn. =)

try putting a few pillow cases inside each other. Then take something such as wool or cotton and put it in the bag. if you really want it to be hard, stick some bamboo inside the bag (a dollar for like 5) inside to strenthen it and put the wool/cotton around that. otherwise youd break your hand after a while.\nas to hang it, use 2 or three hook screws and run a string from the bottom of the bag sewed to the very top sewed again. take 3 strands from inside and tie them to the ceiling with the hooks, and it should hold well.\nI just thought of that off the top of my head. Good luck with money. I do have a program where im making a few thousand a month online.

Hi there,\n\nHere are some great websites that explain the entire process:\n\nhttp://www.rcskim.com/makeaboard/How%20to%20build%20a%20skimboard.html\n\nhttp://www.skimonline.com/equipment/board_building.htm\n\nhttp://www.surfing-waves.com/howto/make_skimboard.htm

no styrofoam??? aww that ruins some of the fun! i love crafty projects tho. okay you can use bakeable clay. it comes in a variety of colors and can be molded into many shapes. i would suggest working from the inside out and making it into a circle with a pie shaped cutout in it so you can see inside. basically you would make the clay figure and then bake it. you can spray it with a glossy finish and tadaa! oh, and to hang it from the ceiling? i guess you would need to screw in a metal hook beforehand. good luck!!

Hemp is a energy crop. This means that it isn't a fuel itself, but is good for making energy products. \n\nThe better of Industrial Hemp seed lines produce as much seed as corn by dry weight. Industrial Hemp can produce more cellulose than corn can hope to. It is in the range of crops grown for cellulose. All of those crops can reach above 10 tons an acre per 4 month growing season under the correct conditions. Cellulose can be used for ethanol, biodiesel, coal replacement, etc.  \n\nIn that respect it isn't better than other crops. It is much the same as most good types of energy crops. They all have their ups and downs. However among energy crops, hemp is the only one that has 10,000 plus current other uses.\n\nAs to what is the best solution. \n\nButanol is the most ideal. It is almost as powerful as today's petro fuels, and it can be used in direct replacement of all current gasoline engines. The downside is that it lacks a biofuel industry to make it. There is only one company that is building a pilot production facility. The current butanol industry reforms it from petroleum. In a dozen year I hope this will change greatly as there is much interest in this.      \nYou will have to check out http://www.butanol.com/ for info. \n\nEthanol is plausible. Unfortunately the oil industry has done its best to turn public opinion against ethanol and is succeeding. Because of that I doubt the industry will ever reach the levels needed to replace gasoline. It is possible however.

You can start by reading related books to give you clear understanding what types of material, soil, wood, metal, etc you would need for your house and an estimation how much that will cost you.

Someone, somewhere has built "legal" tree houses. Search the Internet and talk to your local city or county building department to find some referrals.

Get a hammer and do it yourself! They've got the books at Lowe's. Supplies you can get at Home Depot, too, just look out for pot in the furniture! LOL

I actually helped build one last year as part of a ritual. We did the whole thing in one day. It was a LOT of work. You need many people to help you.\nWe went out into the woods and cut down straight 20-25' saplings that didn't fork. I think 24 trees total were cut. At the base of each an offering was left.  The saplings were then peeled (that was my job and it took forever).\nThere had already been a Temascal in that location so there was already a fire pit dug inside and another larger bonfire outside (for heating rocks). (We set the old Temascal on fire and used it to heat the rocks for the first sweat in the new one.)\nThe saplings have to reach from one side of the circle, up about 4 feet in the center and then back down.  It took two or three big guys to bend and hold each sapling while another held it against the opposite tree at the other end and yet another tied it in place.  This was just repeated until all the saplings were tied. A few of them were also woven a bit to make the structure stronger.\nA couple of smaller saplings were bent over to make the archway for the entrance.\nThe rounded structure was then piled with tarps and blankets until completely covered and no light could get in.  Whatever dragged on the ground was held down with rocks along the edges--old rocks that were "dead" from already being used in the fire.  \nWhew. I'm tired just remembering it.\nI probably left something out. Contact me through my 360 page, my email or my IM for more info.  I can also put you in touch with the gentleman whose house I was at building it.  He has Aztec and native elders there a couple of times a year for rituals and learning and he also travels the world with these elders and goes to Mexico for the Sun Dance every July. So he knows way more than me (and I'm no slouch).\nI think I might have some photos too, somewhere on my hard drive, of us building it.\nSpellcheck not working, sorry for any errors.
