I posted this 2-minute video by Jason Sussberg here a few months ago. It’s me showing the process of laying out the Tiny Homes book by hand — using scissors, removable scotch tape, and a cheap color copy machine (Brother DCP-9040CN) — before it enters the digital process.The video has had 23,000 views so far.

About Lloyd Kahn
Lloyd Kahn started building his own home in the early '60s and went on to publish books showing homeowners how they could build their own homes with their own hands. He got his start in publishing by working as the shelter editor of the
Whole Earth Catalog with Stewart Brand in the late '60s. He has since authored six highly-graphic books on homemade building, all of which are interrelated. The books, "The Shelter Library Of Building Books," include
Shelter,
Shelter II (1978),
Home Work (2004),
Builders of the Pacific Coast (2008),
Tiny Homes (2012), and
Tiny Homes on the Move (2014). Lloyd operates from Northern California studio built of recycled lumber, set in the midst of a vegetable garden, and hooked into the world via five Mac computers. You can check out videos (one with over 450,000 views) on Lloyd by doing a search on YouTube:
It's a great video. I missed it, but found a link on the Tiny House Blog. Thanks for including two shots of our cabin. It's so exciting. – Margy
I saw this before I got the book and it's fun to see it again after I've looked (and looked and looked again and will look some more) at it. Thanks for this AND the book (love your cabin, Margy!)
Lloyd, thought you might appreciate this video I made about small houses in Portland: http://vimeo.com/38551849.
It was made for a Portlandia film festival and screened last month.
