Thanks for that ..it helps to put it all out and see what we've got and what not ..and get feedback.

Thanks .. and we aim to replace luck with knowledge... The more I learn, the luckier I get...

@@senseuall it IS exciting to find a positively foolproof way to avoid a 'sticky' problem! And save so much money you can try new applications and... Bigger! I plan to do a mould of the 8 ft wooden statue ive been carving for years then cast it in pigmented cement plaster so i can put her in people's gardens .... I will film that process too - will need a good Mother Mould to support the silicone mould and keep its shape...

Oh nice! So in what ways did it change your life? For me it was the realization that my business didnt have to be a 'factory' - it was more a workshop, Caring about Quality, and that made all the difference! Turned our lives around for the better AND the business..we even paid back my father in law!:) An economic miracle... I was even able to go study philosophy and my two staff worked to make the oval photo frames we specialized in , unsupervised...while i wholesaled them in the city and they even earned bonuses...

Oh yes Escher the mind contortionist!:) i wrote an essay in philosophy way back in Auckland university 'Presupposition and the Quest for Objectivity' and on the cover I had Escher's self portrait holding a mirror globe:)

Thanks! We can all find a little wizardry IF we look in the right way... Musing, relaxing, trusting there will be a way. The infinite 'Continuum of Possibility' (Charles Sander Peirce).

Glad you enjoyed it...feels good to contribute a little to the huge knowledge pool here on KZbin.

Wow really? Thanks! It's one handed again...

Oh THAT word! It just came to mind... Call me old fashioned:)

Thanks..yes its odd how a seemingly not very useful breakthrough can have other unanticipated applications... With veneer id use exterior pva, stronger... And to answer your question yes i plan to edge roughen the sheets (in a pile) using a perfectly level plate glass strip with coarse emery paper glued to it. Important to keep the paper dead straight. It may not be strictly necessary to roughen but i always do it when binding my books.

Sorry! I need a camera person or always use a tripod.

@ I can understand that! You have a really unique channel and all is so new to me so I would really like to learn :)

Yep:) safe and cheapish and easy.

Ah,, quite a tight circle! I'd say may be too hard to roll such a curve this way- I'd go the other way, screw the barrel to a plywood or similar sheet, fasten the sheet to a bench or pin to the ground, then clamp the end of tge rebar to the lip of the barrel or alternatively poke into a hole in the barrel, tgen walk the rebar around the barrel...then as in my 'How to bend rebar into rings, fast' video, cut through the resulting coil of rebar with an angle grinder with cutoff wheel ..

Me too! It just came in handy as a prop!

Thanks, my writerly sister and so encouraging!

Yes, from my sister up north!

@@wizardofeutopia loved digging for little pieces as a kid. Growing some good trees now down here on the west coast.

Oh may the US election go to the ones who don't think bigger government is better for us!

Me too! Not essential but does no harm:)

Hi, that's the main ferro plaster...basically about 1.5 sand to 1 cement, plus a bit of plasticizer and fine polypropylene fibre for cohesion when spreading it. Oh and 10 percent of the cement replaced with fly ash or amorphous silica is good for waterproof, denser plaster.

Yes..i use the Sika polypropylene fibre, the finest (thinnest) fibre they sell. Always for the heavy first coat, often for the second coat too, for ease of buildup of thickness especially if carving into it when partially cured.

Hi, i dont know your language but are you asking about the composition of the crystal? It is a glass container filled with water.

Thanks! Its slightly vapourware so far, but i believe! In the very near Future ill post a 'How I Did It!' video:)

Yes i ignore the box and dream the 'impossible'...watch this space!

@@wizardofeutopia I subscribed when I saw you gluing the edges of the paper together I didn’t know your channel existed .

Sorry for just seeing your comment! Yep, been in use, all very nice, fun open top cave feeling!

Good coffee and getting into the flow state :)

Well here's one more.

Eek i just read your encouraging comment! Wonderful, i shall redouble my efforts! AND go to youtube studio and see all comments at a glanc:)

And another!😁plus the ten people I will share this to😁
