    It’s a beautiful 3d rock, words I thought I’d never hear. Proprietary mud mix 🤷‍♀️. I made balls for fountains using beach balls as a form. I used fabric strips and Portland cement. They have been running daily with no problems. I also added red for a couple and black concrete dye. He is making this sound harder than it is. This is stuff we did in elementary school just with concrete. Just do it, no class necessary.

    The cardboard is a great temporary form to create your rock…the strength of your rock is the shell. Depending on the formulation of the mixture you plan to use will determine how thick you’d have to make it. I always use the textile mesh not the wire mesh. Never ever make a frame with wood as it can get wet and expand and hydraulically break apart your Cement bad idea this I know from many experiences. With all that said, I make huge playground climbing wall equipment pieces that are about three-quarter inch thickness, and they support many children for decades.

Affordable housing is really needed across this globe and more governments are willing to subsidize technologies that are actually proven out as being legitimate. Keep in mind with anything I created a cardboard it’s simply a form not the structure, but a form I hope to be videoing some projects here in the near future still negotiating, but I’m optimistic. There’s a path forward. My last company received a $250,000 grant from the state of California to prove out a building system that I created using used carpet and a lot of people laugh at that but I’m telling you there’s a lot of ways to build other than conventional ways stick with me sports fans .

    @fauxrock For me, I consider this a specialty trade that falls under landscaping, but not exactly. Like akin to seeing an orthodontist over a normal dentist. It's a fine-tuned art for a niche market and hobbyist. I've been drawn to this type of thing since I'm obsessed with prop making and Halloween. It also aligns a lot with the architecture that is built within line queues at theme parks like Disney and Universal Studios. Every time I visit these places, I end up analyzing the rocks and faux landscaping, wondering how I might be able to recreate such works of art myself.

    Well, thank you for your kind feedback and I appreciate you taking the time to watch my video. If I were building rock for a large bank, I wouldn’t be building it as though you had seen me do so in the video. These rocks have a very specific application and need to be stronger and lightweight. Whereas your rock from the rock bank can be made with a regular mortar mix. I offer one on one training assistance for people such as yourself it might do you well to give me a call to discuss your options. The type of glue that was use was 100% acrylic glue and there’s a lot of different types of fiber that can be used. The particular mix that I used in. This video is only offered to those that I am training through one of my training courses. Thanks, Jim 971-237-2957

Under my pools, as erosion barriers, but the carpet samples used like patches actually work the best as shingles. Also, using cardboard for mulch in the garden works great as well. Carpet for walkways and the moisture goes nowhere.

    Real rocks are heavy. These would weigh a half ton to 1.5 tons. If you have access to the equipment to moves tons of rocks, the equipment has access to the site where they are to be placed, and you have the funds to pay for all of that, then by all means use the real thing. If any one of those is a problem, then this is a possible solution.
