    thank you!! Definitely want to make these. You made it seem so simple. I live in Canada and concerned about how to create a base that won't heave during freezing and thawing. Really don't want the work of using rebar and cement to create the base path. Still not sure how to do it but thinking perhaps a simple layer of sand ( like you used) and then dozens of already made cement blocks and puzzle them all together. Love that you did it using the thin set mortar... love that you used equal parts sand and concrete for the grout. nice as well that I can start making these in the house while we are experiencing our - 30 - -40 weather here and then be ready for Spring. So excited to get started.

    Hi, love your tutorial! Question, in noticed you used pre-mix grout under glass tiles, why not use the same to grout it?

  • @Flatforkstudio
    @Flatforkstudio3 жыл бұрын

    Hi there! Sorry so late in seeing this. The thinset underneath tiles has an additive to it that is a little elastic. Harder to just buff off the tiles. The concrete powders up so nicely and will last for years!:) I hope that helps.

    The area I want to do will be large, my worry is I want my work to be safe to walk bear feet. What should i do extra, do I need to smooth EACH edge?

    So sorry I did not see this. Actually if its a whole walkway, I would be worried it will be slippery when wet. Made that mistake for sure.:)

    @@Flatforkstudio hello Flatfork! I KNEW you and I were in the same general area (Austin/Temple). When I first saw this video I had never attempted a mosaic or any other type of creative art. I must say things have changed A LOT in the last year. I would LOVE to share pics with you but I can't do that on KZread. Maybe I'll search FlatforkStudio on FB. Or perhaps you know another way?

    which bands did you use, and how did you know how far it would launch? Were you launching balls or Angry Birds Plushies?

  • @Flatforkstudio
    @Flatforkstudio3 жыл бұрын

    We used elastic bands similar to exercise bands. I happened to have the ball in my studio, so that's what we used for testing it. The slingshot was used at an Angry Birds SXSW event as an interactive and promotional tool, not as much as a weapon ;)
