Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "I personally am really impressed with the quality and step by step instructions in this book." - Kent Griswold, publisher, The Tiny House Blog & Tiny House Magazine. Marvin Denmark, a carpenter and craftsman with 50+ years of experience, shares the procedures he used to build and assemble all the components of a 12-sided wood-panelized yurt. The structure is based on the original yurt design, employing a center ring and tension cable, but it is built using wood-framed panelized construction that includes radial rafters similar to a traditional yurt. A panelized building system means that the components can be constructed off-site and then transported to the site for assembly. There are two editions of this book. This is the BLACK & WHITE EDITION: Detailed instructions, photographs and illustrations include the design, materials list and cut-list for a 16-foot diameter wood structure. There are also links to three videos that demonstrate construction of the components. This yurt was a 1st-place winner in the 2018 Tiny Homes Contest on Instructables.com.

Download or read book A Man Apart written by Peter Forbes and published by Chelsea Green Publishing. This book was released on 2015-02-03 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A story of friendship, encouragement, and the quest to design a better world A Man Apart is the story—part family memoir and part biography—of Peter Forbes and Helen Whybrow’s longtime friendship with Bill Coperthwaite (A Handmade Life), whose unusual life and fierce ideals helped them examine and understand their own. Coperthwaite inspired many by living close to nature and in opposition to contemporary society, and was often compared to Henry David Thoreau. Much like Helen and Scott Nearing, who were his friends and mentors, Coperthwaite led a 55-year-long “experiment in living” on a remote stretch of Maine coast. There he created a homestead of wooden, multistoried yurts, a form of architecture for which he was known around the world. Coperthwaite also embodied a philosophy that he called “democratic living,” which was about empowering all people to have agency over their lives in order to create a better community. The central question of Coperthwaite’s life was, “How can I live according to what I believe?” In this intimate and honest account—framed by Coperthwaite’s sudden death and brought alive through the month-long adventure of building with him what would turn out to be his last yurt—Forbes and Whybrow explore the timeless lessons of Coperthwaite’s experiment in intentional living and self-reliance. They also reveal an important story about the power and complexities of mentorship: the opening of one’s life to someone else to learn together, and carrying on in that person’s physical absence. While mourning Coperthwaite’s death and coming to understand the real meaning of his life and how it endures through their own, Forbes and Whybrow craft a story that reveals why it’s important to seek direct experience, to be drawn to beauty and simplicity, to create rather than critique, and to encourage others.
