INCREDIBLE,,, I'm really at a loss for words at the entire complex and the TIME YOU'VE INVESTED,,,not to mention what it must've cost to have concrete brought out to the desert......Thank You for sharing🥰

What a different life. Get away from crazy people in the big city and enjoy not being in bondage. More and more people are trying to do it. Love it when a plan comes together

He certainly created a very cool place to live. The patina on that rusted metal was really nice

Bobby is a true kind human being. Had the pleasure of spending 3 days/nights at his place with mutual friends. He had locals come and do a concert in his “theatre”. He’s just a true sincere humble soul. Many props to you Bobby!!

Does he still help people build these? I mean not for free obviously lol. My grandma wants to know.

I lived across the valley, could see Bobby's place from mine, until I sold in August 2020. I've attended functions there through the years. He has a lot of energy and imagination.

@@postedback , joshua tree is a wealthy people getaway retreat. it is in a busy area, I mean, it is not on the middle of nowhere. and it sits over a oasis, the whole yucca and coachella valley are oasis, and if I am not mistaken close to palm spring there are the biggest natural non-dam oasis in the world. so they get water from the underground rivers. the internet is very good because those 2 valleys are highly populated, especially the coachella one (with over 250k dwellers) and it is just 3 hours away from LA.

Incredible! This man seems like he would have been the best Industrial Arts teacher at a high school. The teacher everyone loved! I bet he knows so much. He said he's a carpenter by trade but I can tell he prb has over 100 different skill sets. So awesome! Def one of my fave episodes!

I absolutely LOVE this place and this man. He made his dreams come true. I lived out that way as a kid (early to mid 40s) in a railroad box car. My dad talked of living in a Quonset Hut and having a small farm. Wish we had. Rust is a living material. So beautiful. I want to live another life, and do something like this. Wow. Thank you for bringing this magic to us. The ART in WALMART... lol. Lemons into lemonade. Imagine the stage shows and concerts he's had there. Love it.

Rust is beautiful and never sleeps

Bobby Furst is my spirit animal. So amazing.

Everything so eclectic but also very tidy and neat! I love this old wood contrasting with metal structure of building!

I can see all the work involved in these buildings and it's incredible what this man has done.

This gentleman is extremely clever, extremely interesting...and our current society is marginalizing him and others like him.

Gotta love this man's creativity and imagination!

Furst, you've done an amazing job in creating your place! SO AWESOME! Mahalo nui loa, Kirsten & crew!

Wow!! I serendipitously ended up at a concert here years ago, met Bobby, who took the time during the party to show my friend and I around a bit. I'm also a carpenter, and I remember admiring how sturdy that loft looked! Bobby was a great guy, very kind a humble, with great vision. I've tried so many times to explain how cool this place was to many of my friends. Now, I can show them this video! Thank you Kristen!

Wow. This setup is totally awesome. It's over the top. I'm sending this video to my son. He's planning on buying land to build on. These would be so cool as homes. My late brother-in-law dreamed of making a quanset hut into a home. My sister thought he was way of the norm. He had a vision in his head. Good to see how this man did it!!!!!

I love the crafted peace sign with the puppy dog head ❤ Everything is super creative.

Brilliant design and creative use of space. This is clearly a labor of love.

That man is what I call a great American what an amazing human being thank you for showing that!!!!

Fond memories of my time in the SW come to mind as I watch this fascinating life story.

He has the coolest stuff! Recycling at its best! When you put all this storied stuff together it gives the place such an inviting personality.

By far one of the more interesting and innovative structures / houses ever on the videos of your channel.

Travelled from Oz to attend a wedding there. Honestly the best wedding and venue I have ever been to! Bobby was a lovely eccentric really friendly guy.

Someone living out their dream that does not look like they need an intervention. Well done sir.

Another one for the Quonset aficionados. I see them everywhere now.

What a Wonderful Imagination and Art. Bobby is Gifted. 🎁 ❤it! 💯 🎯

It's amazing someone with an artistic mind can take trash and create with it. I like it.

For years now I have enjoyed the content you provide. This is by far the best one. Keep 'em comming.

I miss Joshua Tree. I was at 29 Palms in 77. I loved going up into the park in the evening watching the roadrunners hunt and listening to the coyotes. I've seen that quonset hut style before and wondered on their build.

One of your Best. I think the sorts of visions you are providing of how humans can live is helping to transform our imaginations and conversations around the types of structures and communities we are willing/wanting to live in. We just need a network to start joining people to places. Massive respect.

Thanks for the tour ! I've been there a number of times . It has grown immensely in the past years . Always a great experience ! Bobby has created some amazing art , not only at Furst world , but in the local community .

I don't know how you found this guy, but I'm glad you did.

Turned Walmart into art! And they said it could not be done! I love it.

Yet another amazing Kirsten video, thank you 😊

This guy needs to be teaching & training the rest of us. His knowledge needs to be shared & magnified. We need to utilize these practice's. Fascinating!!!

A true artist knows how to shape his environs. Walden is an example, so is Furst's home. But Furst has a command of physical space that's really exceptional. Wow. He pulls from so many disciplines (each with mastery) and then assembles the total space. In other words, his art has the context of his home and his home is an expression of his life. And it's open, walkable, inviting. So he's taken the last and final step of any great artist ( in my opinion ) of inviting in the local community for interaction. So? Who cares? Well, this is important when presenting art. It's the opposite of the 'gallery star artist with the genius concept art' we all loath because they're all ego. Anyway, really nice to see, thanks for the visit!

Another amazing video Kirsten D! Bobby is an amazing artist 🎨! I've been lucky to have worked with him on a couple projects over the years. Truly he is an amazing person and an inspiration to me and I'm sure many others! ❤ I've been to many events at his place over the years and it can be like stepping back in time where "people art and music are all one" because of one man, Bobby. Thank you Bobby! You rock! Scott

I am super impressed. This guy is quite the clever dude when it comes to repurposing as well as how to get stuff done. Very resourceful! Spent my 4th grade year of elementary school in a quonset hut while my hometown built a new school. I thought it was pretty neat. I remember we had snow that year, the first snow I ever remembered having, and it was pretty cozy in our "class room". However, I don't remember it being as inventive-ly decked out as this guy's place.

Brilliant! Simply stunning! Shalom from Florida 🕊🪔🕊

This is great. Quonset on top of containers is making lots of sense.

What an out of the box craftsman. Very nice person as well.

Just wow. I’m a self employed carpenter in New England. Just the concept of not having to deal with the moisture of my area. It’s an immense amount of time and space I don’t have to protect the few things I have let alone all the really kool things I’ve turned away because I have no place to store it. These buildings are so kool let alone wow you have used them. I’m green with envy.

What a unique gallery/home/workshop! I admit that I am a bit envious. He has more square footage than me. My home is also inside an industrial building. An efficiency apartment inside a pole barn on a rural setting. If he lived closer, I would stop by and do some trading of odd industrial stuff I’ve collected over the years.
