Thank you so much for refreshing my spirit during this a Covid 19 and protesting/rioting time. I thoroughly enjoyed watching your craftsmanship. Then at the end you revealed your table is an old spinning chair. So you took old things and repurposed them too. Amazing! Thank you for a much needed break. By the way your work is beautiful too!

    Pure genius!! I have a neat trick to share with you. I notice you use wire to reinforce your work. If you need to straighten wire, quite thick wire too, then simply tie one end to something solid, put the other end into the chuck of an electric drill, pull the wire with the drill out to full length. You can do this with a full roll of wire. Then spin the drill whilst pulling slightly on the wire with the drill. After a few seconds the wire will be bike wheel spoke straight and also toughened. It's a suspended ceiling fixers trick. You probable already know about this but just in case you don't..... I love your work. Inspirational and soothing to watch.

  • @G4VRX
    @G4VRX 3 года назад +73

    Very relaxing to watch ! This is like the way of making large church bells. Its stronger than a terracotta clay version too.
    Some things came to mind...
    1 You could spray sand with a fine mist of watered down PVA , or even sugar solution and let it dry. This would give the sand a firm skin.
    2 You could put integral waterproofing liquid into the mixing water... to make the cement like what they use for swimming pools. This would make the concrete hold water and keep it dry inside, The cement would be more resistant then to frosty weather.
    3 At that stage you could add cement colouring powder too. Perhaps to make one look like a fired terracotta clay version .Result not needing decorating painting at all.
    4. Be careful with your bonsai trees. Mind the cement is very alkaline and this pH might upset their growth.
    5 After painting , pour clear epoxy resin over the work. This would seal the concrete , preventing "salt blooming" and making it safe for all plant types , and give a durable vitreous glazed appearance, So we just need a white background and some blue dragons flying over a water garden ! LIke blue willow pattern china...with the birds of love and the boat...
    6 Can you show me how to do a large Ming vase and a Terracotta Warrior in concrete next please ? !
    Thanks again for a nice video .

    I am doing a French drain around the foundation of my house. When finished it will be covered in tumbled rock. I was planning to buy planters of some kind to go on top of the rock to keep the dirt out of the rock. This fits the bill perfectly! I may give this a try. Great video!👍

    Very well done. The spinning chair is genius. For the metal frame: probably a little more money, but very accessible to those who don’t weld, look for aluminum erector materials called 80/20. Screw together and make infinite shapes and sizes.

      @Suzyqs Mesh is not a good choice for such a project. Rings plus fibers is the way to go.
      One more thing - you can also mix perlite instead of sand in the mixture. It looks like a limestone antique pot if the surface is not smoothed and if it is painted white. This makes it extremely lightweight.
