    Doing it in his clean jeans. Barely a drop spilled on the white patio of his beautifully located house. No leftovers no spillage. Sign of a craftsman. Hardly a scrap on his hands, When I do it will look like explosion in cement works.

Thank you so much for refreshing my spirit during this a Covid 19 and protesting/rioting time. I thoroughly enjoyed watching your craftsmanship.

  • @G4VRX

    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 .

      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.

    You’re very talented! I just learned about bottomless pots and wonder if you’ve ever tried them. Your plants, shrubs and trees can then send their roots down into the soil and will be healthier and live long in the container. Wouldn’t work on patios or decks but can be set around and make the overall effect interesting.

    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.

    • @pierrewong4714
      @pierrewong4714 4 года назад +2

      You can use any reasonable plastic & cut your ideal shape.
      What I would do: make some small pots the size/height of a 3ltr (sorry metric 3 litres) plastic milk bottle. I’d use a scissors to cut 2 out so that it is firmer. I would screw the plastic shape to a timber & get it all in position, securing the timber. Using a flat top stool that can spin... place plywood on top of the spinning stool. You don’t necessarily need the plywood to be cut round if you haven’t got proper cutting tools. Yes it’ll be awesome & less awkward if the plywood is round.... but don’t stress... you’ll still get the same results.
      You can also use timber/plywood to cut & shape, and use it, if you don’t have plastic or want to make bigger pots.

    • @eliagron8750
      @eliagron8750 4 года назад

      You put your fingers thru the holes and lift or you can do a 2 U form iron wires and use it to lift it up by inserting one of the sides of the U inside the hole and the other U ad the other side of the plate and then lifting them at the same time with both your your hands/arms
      Hope I explained for you can visualize it.
