Outstanding technique ... short and to the point. Well done!

[@RockSculptor]

Thank you kindly!

[@judichristopher4604]

NO BACKGROUND MUSIC... I had to MUTE this just to WATCH IT... but you did such a Beautiful Job... Love the ROCK... Not the Background NOISE/Music

[@TrinicLLC]

Awesome job Warren!

[@RockSculptor]

Thanks!

[@AkashDas-vx2ph]

Excellent sir 👍

[@theartofconcrete]

I could watch this 1,00000 times

[@RockSculptor]

Thanks a mill!

[@krishiajuario7370]

[@1976DannyG]

This is so cool! Just subbed!

[@surgeinc1]

Well done!

[@RockSculptor]

Thanks!!

[@RollerGuideX]

Wow/ Great job... Very talented guy obviously.

[@user-wu5hd7sb8y]

Lovng this concept to make your own and not spend much money, plus it's fun. I am a interior designer and love challenges that are beautiful. I don't care for the music playing, anxiety!

[@RockSculptor]

Thanks!!

[@dammitbobby283]

I like the music, it reminds me of The Beastie Boys.

[@richdoud3297]

Love this! Start to finish foam core cement boulder. Show us some coloring next?

[@RockSculptor]

On it!!!

[@judichristopher4604]

@@RockSculptor Did you ever make the video on How To Color these boulders?

[@FryedSaw]

Greetings and Salutations I have a weaving technique that is what brought me here 😊

[@user-pi6ws8ws5m]

Very nice I just don't have the patience anymore.looks real that's a good thing!

[@michaelwayne7887]

Great video.!! Even greater when I muted it.

[@thedigital_art]

Would you mind telling me which roller that is you are using to create the first set of 'dimples'? Thank you.

[@thunderoveraugusta]

Just curious, how strong are these? If pets jump on them or kids, will they break easily? This is an awesome video. Thank you for your work.

[@RockSculptor]

Thanks for the kind words! Very strong...even at the scracth coat level...a 300lb human could stand on it and not cause any stress fractures.

[@chengme]

what brand is that AR glass scrim? I can't find it in amazon. Tks

[@RockSculptor]

Visit Trinic llc, they sell it

[@Dallas_K]

The music makes it unbearable.

[@ThePurpelephant]

I disagree

[@plchan66]

Sorry but i had to mute the backgrd music to watch. Perhaps a more soothing music wud be better.

[@DinhNguyen-yv9ho]

agree

[@puntabachata]

Kill the music and just voice over the text instructions.

[@EmilyTidesArt]

Could this be submerged in a pool?

[@crowdiver]

Good job though!

[@user-vf8gs3ng4v]

Would this be suitable for outside? I want to make a large catio so that it resembles a lions lair .

[@RockSculptor]

Yes! All materials used are built for outdoor masonry:)

[@mcanultymichelle]

Wow that’s the best fake rock on the internet 👍

[@RockSculptor]

WOW!! Thank you kindly for that!

[@rickfillion5666]

THE ROCK LOOKS GREAT. THE IMPORTANT PART . TITLE SAYS FROM START TO FINISH. THE VIDEO STARTS WITH PUTTING ON THE FINISH COAT OF WHAT, MORTAR? NOT A THING ABOUT START AS IN FORM IT, WITH WHAT, HOW, A MORTAR, OR CONCRETE FINISH, ?? THE TITLE SHOULD SAY, WHAT A FAKE ROCK LOOKS LIKE, AT LEAST THIS ONE.

[@BitsySkittlesPryss]

Do know how much weight these can hold? I was thinking of making a couple of these for my front yard to put some planter on top of them. I am concerned that the styrofoam might degrade over time and make them collapse. Anyone have an opinion about this?

[@RockSculptor]

Great question! You have to apply the mud at least 2 inches for good strength. Putting AR glass fiber in the hard coat adds extra protection. You'll be able to do jumping jacks on it.

[@BitsySkittlesPryss]

@@RockSculptor Thanks! 🙂

[@1976DannyG]

Forgot to ask but what is finished weight?

[@judichristopher4604]

That is a really good question.. Did you ever get an answer?

[@bridesnyc]

How much was to make this rock? tx

[@judichristopher4604]

Great Question Have you got an answer yet...???

[@bridesnyc]

No but I went to Universal rock online and I got a full waterfall with a discount (holiday) for like $2k and free shipping@@judichristopher4604

[@josephhorvath810]

Wonderful!what do you mean when you say 50 pound of Portland cement?Do you mean 50 pounds of Type S mortar mix? Thanks in advance

[@RockSculptor]

Yes, Portland Cement, not mortar mix.

[@josephhorvath810]

@@RockSculptor ok,Thanks. So there is no sand in the mix?

[@RockSculptor]

@josephhorvath810 Yes, there is sand in mix. Generally 1.5 parts sand to 1 part Cement ratio

[@josephhorvath810]

@@RockSculptor thanks!

[@josephhorvath810]

How long is the mix usable after it is mixed up? please let me know.Thanks very much!!

[@cressharper1691]

Seems an awful lot of work for a fake rock. I use large size polystyrene, cover top and sides with tile grout mixed with pva glue. While still soft i sprinkle builders sand on top and sides and leave to dry. Spray painted shades of grey and mouldy green they’ve sat in my garden over 2 years just fine. I also sometimes soak old fabric in pva glue and drape over plastic waste til i shape it rock like, paint when dry. I dont weatherproof them, they seem ok.

[@RachelAmmons]

Can you make a video or post pics?

[@RC-Flight]

Wow that music sure sucks, can’t watch!too bad, it looked like a nice video otherwise.

[@otmargreb6110]

Is there a shortage of boulders and rocks? Asking for a friend!

[@RockSculptor]

In some areas, there are:)

[@ronelkins1057]

No, but there is a shortage of virtually weightless rocks and boulders. Heard from a friend.

[@johnduncan4725]

Beautiful but…. Time consuming if need a # of stones👍

[@judichristopher4604]

YES... but have you asked if someone else does it... it cost HUNDREDS of Dollars... each.

[@bird-yd7ge]

Styrofoam is expensive

[@puntabachata]

If this video doesn't get likes and the channel doesn't get subscribers, it's because of the music. Just voice over the instructions instead...

[@RockSculptor]

Thankyou!!

[@crowdiver]

Music is annoying!

[@jonnscott4858]

that's a ROCK not a boulder just like the channel name. Boulders are frucken big compared

[@christophervanalstine1280]

According to the Wentworth classification (1924) the lower limit of the boulder grain size is 25.6cm. A small boulder is 25.6-51.2cm, a medium boulder 51.2cm-102.4cm, a large boulder 102.4-204.8cm and a very large boulder is anything larger than that.
