Thank you so much. Your videos are all that I watch anymore. I made 2 boulders yesterday, am not finished with them, but this is so much fun. I am hoping to put rocks everywhere, so I don't have much to mow.
In all my years of mixing cement I never thought of using a fork - brilliant!
really cool video, easy to understand, Thanks
I found this really helpful
Great instructional!
Thanks, mate !

THANKS
Hi Ric, It depends what finish you want, but I would recommend quite a fine sand as it is easier to carve.
Thank you for the great tip. And really enjoy your art work. Totally amazing drawings!!!
Thanks for sharing. In my part of the world (El Salvador) sand is not graded, so we do it ourselfs. We use mesh to grade it from 1/32 to 1/4". What would you recommend?
Thanks brother
Great video's on rocks, have been pulling my hair out trying to get the right real rocks for a waterfall in the garden, will try your approach. One question is have you already applied grey oxide to your plastering sand? In the UK most sand is well sandy color (golden) not grey, can't seem to find any grey plastering sand over here :)
Than you!!!
THE FINER THE SAND the more water content it can have without slumping, although a fairly course sand will also not slump much if it is clastic[since it piles up well even when dry] , comparatively speaking. Water of course is a necessary participant in the chemical reaction.
I saw all four of your R1-R4 videos. Great tips and techniques (would be A+). However, there is one common problem to all four : the sound quality. Sometimes you can barely hear anything because of the wind, the cars going by, or just because the mike is too far away (is B+).
When I first started in stone masonry I was mixing type N mortar at 18 shovels to a sack for an interior flagstone job. Next job was an outside retaining wall. I mixed 18 shovels to a sack of Portland. After the fifth batch the guy laying stone asked what ratio I was mixing it at. luckily it was a dry lay wall and you couldn't see the color difference.
You all probably dont give a damn but does anybody know a trick to get back into an Instagram account?
I was dumb forgot the login password. I would appreciate any tips you can offer me
@Dakari Rhys instablaster ;)
@Malakai Alvin I really appreciate your reply. I found the site thru google and Im in the hacking process atm.
Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will reply here later with my results.
@Malakai Alvin It did the trick and I finally got access to my account again. Im so happy:D
Thanks so much, you saved my ass!
@Dakari Rhys Happy to help xD
I have a question, i would like to turn my class c Vandura Midas motorhome into a rvcave do you think i could do that with faux rock? I i have to completely guttout my motorhome so i thought i would see if anyone had ideas i could make it a cave on wheels lol. I am going to be living it also with two small dogs. Please help me with this if you can. Thank you
Did you ever manage to do anything with your place? I’m always having similar ideas and for interior designs too. Just gotta start out with small scale things I guess to get me going.
Great video. Is that cement or mortar mix? What kind of mortar mix? Thanks.
Type s just go buy spec mix or motor mix from Lowe's or home Depot Menards just add water and your good
Is there a part 2, after watching 5 minutes of concrete mixing? 🤣
What I would like to see is how one is supposed to use the "valve" at the end of the bag. We have Holcim cement here too in the US packaged the same way. Near the end of the bag in the corner where the flaps are glued together you will see the word printed "valve", and often the word in Spanish as well. There's also a tab of paper that I would assume you are supposed to pull on, but I've never had it work successfully in any way I try. I wish they would just use a tear tape, like you see in cardboard mailers.
The valve is not really for the user but for the loader/unloader/transporter, I think. You can cut it open with a trowel, shovel, etc. The "Vent" is so that when bags get bounced around loading, unloading, or bouncing down the road, they need to be able to release air pressure or simply shifting of material, so that they don't pop and split. Que no? Unfortunately, life isn't always about us. Rhats.
@@ronmtz4622 That makes sense. Whenever I happen to slam a bag down on the bed of my truck, a jet of powder shoots out the "valve".
Ok so... Why Portland cement for the "rock" mix? I'm a cheapskate and trying to make a similar project in my yard, and the bags of Portland are $10-$12/bag, depending on the Home Depot I go to.
the moment he realised he put too much water in lol
are you making fun of it?
@@brookebricks1053 yessssssss.lol
Keenceran Bambaaaaaank 😁
Good bye
dont quite get the point of adding color oxide , its still look the same as cement grey color
Come on , more sand
Water too much friend!!
Wear a face mask then if dust is bad for you !!! 🤔
not exact!
I am sorry, but it is difficult to to hear you. You speak quickly and not clearly. Forgive me.
