Glad it may help! Have fun creatively and technically:)

I love that your doing stuff that took me years to figure out.

Hello from Canada ! Amazing art your creating !!

My entry into the construction industry back in the 1980s was tieing steel. If I had the knowledge and basic equipment this guy utilises, methinks I may have more years left to live.

Brilliant. Just the precise information I need at this exact moment in time!

This is great! Thank you. I have been thinking of ideas and this is the perfect solution.

Very nice, thanks. Dogs are adorable!

Just saw your question.. yes, definitely could do an ethereal figure with chicken wire over rods or lengths of fencing wire stuck in the ground bent over and shaped. Lace together with lacing wire...

I just found you and LOVE your work/creativity. Please, please, please improve the camera work and sound. PLEASE !!

We are working on the filming, with our son using a pixel phone. Working outside, the sound can be difficult...

Sir, i like your easy idea

Is this a New Zealand thing, to wear a sport coat while doing metalworking? Classy. 😊

I like coats... And cheap at opshop! Quick to put on or take off in the changeable NZ weather... And usually good pockets for stuff...

Hi, May I ask how thick in mm was this rebar please? I want to have the 4 bar trench mesh to bend the mid section into a garden arch for my veggies garden. Hope you can advise and help. Thanks so much, Tiffany.

Hi Tiffany...it was 10mm 3/8 inch approx. 'Deformed' ie has little ridges all along it. Yes you should be able to do a form of the drum trick with a strip of mesh, starting the bend in the middle may be best if you brace upright drum while a helper bends it around drum... Or fill drum with water for stability...

Surely 3/8th rebar? (9.5mm)

Interesting. That’s not the rebar that has the ribs on? That’s more high tensile and hard to bend? Thanks.

It is 'deformed' ie has ribs, but not high tensile... ive tried that by accident knce...VERY springy and hard!

I think that's a Death Ray next to the door.

So what is ferrocement? Rebar reinforced mortar?

Hi..it's a thin shell of strong mortar - cement plaster - trowelled into various thicknesses of steel bar and or mesh usually with several layers of fine half inch -13mm- chicken wire tightly laced together with thin wire. The plaster is often smoothed over with a second coat but the steel remains close to the surface so there's a lot of fine reinforcement throughout the shell. It's Sunday and that's a rough description only!

This would be worth watching if the volume were louder.
