[@AnthonyTurnham]

Hi Andy! From one youtuber to another THANK YOU! Thanks for the videos and showing some of your techniques! I took some time at the beach with my daughter yesterday, entered a sandcastle building competition, and using some of your techniques... we won! :) It was great fun! And nice to have some time away from the usual photography videos! :)

[@SandcastleAndy]

Hey Anthony! Great to hear you have won your first contest! Awesome..glad the techniques helped!..behind on the videos atm. Editing is awaited..lol

[@AnthonyTurnham]

@@SandcastleAndy Haha, I know that feeling! I've got about 5 premiere projects sat at various stages, including a little vlog of the castle comp. I look forward to seeing more of your videos. Thanks for sharing :)

[@SandcastleAndy]

Hey Anthony, still building castles with your daughter?

[@itzmikey6617]

Andy you gave me and my cousin sandcastle lessons in 2017!!!

[@kw19991]

Since the word "sandcastle" is used for any art made with sand, they call an actual sandcastle a "sandcastle castle".

[@syedazehra1284]

This is great ❤

[@syedazehra1284]

To much good ❤

[@SandcastleAndy]

Glad you enjoyed it, please share the joy and..I have a new podcast

[@Silkysime]

Just discovered your videos and have decided I REALLY want to get into creating castles on the beach. I traditionally dislike the beach. However, I am drawn to the concept of developing these masterpieces. Thank you for your content, it has given me a sound foundation to build upon (pardon the pun). I am a chef by trade and have a lot of experience using spatulas so hopefully that helps. If I ever manage to create something that someone stops and compliments, you betcha I'll be telling them "dont compliment me, compliment Andy". From Australia with ❤

[@SandcastleAndy]

thank you good to hear motivation is working!

[@Silkysime]

@AndyHancock you're a legend mate. The way you explain everything is fantastic. Your love for creating is palpable just watching you entices me to learn and create. I can't wait to get out there. Thank you again, you're an absolute champion

[@nataliechan8584]

Looks like magic sand! Haha its such obedient sand! It does whatever you want it to do 😂

[@SandcastleAndy]

Hi Natalie! - yes it's very well-trained and if it behaves it gets a treat!! - seriously - its got soo many different minerals in it and a nice balance of clay and silt so it holds together very well - there is another beach just up the coast where the clay content is higher due to ship lane dredging - and that is even more awesome but alas their beach isn't as nice as ours! where do you build in the world?

[@nataliechan8584]

@@SandcastleAndy oh how lovely! I hope one day I can experience such obedient sand and build something beautiful as you did ☺️ I'm from Malaysia so I make amateur sandcastles in the islands of North borneo ☺️

[@highstreetkillers4377]

I got handstacking to work. I filled the bucket this time with water and then made sure to almost fill it with sand. I made 5 arches. On only my 5th castle I've ever made. Handstacking is a game changer. so much fun

[@SandcastleAndy]

HighStreet Killers great work..you kept experimenting and THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT U HAVE TO DO. the Hand stacking is a game changer as it enables you to join forms together and add exterior details that get rid of the bucket shape..AWESOME JOB

[@highstreetkillers4377]

Andy Hancock you need a disclaimer warning people that sandcastling is addictive!

[@highstreetkillers4377]

I've made 15 castles now, I've gotten good and all your advice is very true. I won't spray my buckets with WD 40 though, probably helps but i do ok without. I need to be like you now and carve atop a barrel. My back is killing me. I was going 2 and 3 times a week.Too much for me

[@jkmurphy3]

HighStreet Killers anyone tried the “drizzle” castle method? Similar to handstack but water does most of the work. I tend to get a better reaction to those on the beach than the cut and formed castles. Wait, im sorry “boys shimmy, girls giggle...”. Cmon man.......

Has anyone noticed that the sand is water basically and then after like 2 seconds its has frozen up.

[@shiretsu]

fuck I need to go back to the beach ASAP

[@highstreetkillers4377]

Maybe i cant hand stack cause i dont have enough sand in the bucket. I've tried with not much sand in alot of water. Didn't work. I'll try bringing a shovel and screen. I'm at a natural beach, lots of stones and sticks. When i've carved stairs the down sideways out in lift method didn't work. Down and just out worked best for me

[@SandcastleAndy]

Hi there - if you are at a "Natural" beach you will need to clear the top layer with all of its debris and then dig clean sand to fill you hand stacking bucket. You need a 5 gallon bucket, half full of water then put in clean sand until it starts to come out of the top of the water. then you are ready. Then make sure the sand is loosened before you lift it out and do it qiuckly and smoothly as slow only looses its liquid. Also shells in sand are a no no as they trap a layer of air on their surfaces causing weakness in the block and are very annoying when carving as the surface tears all the time when you catch one. Hope this helps Andy

I hate being land locked😭😭😭😭😭😭 my family never travels either 😫😫

[@SandcastleAndy]

can you find a sand supplier locally? ask them whether they have "sharp" or Angular Sand. Not Sub Angular. That should sort the sand part for ya - where are you?

[@victoriacorey2823]

@@SandcastleAndy thank you for the advice! I'm in Idaho.

[@SandcastleAndy]

@@victoriacorey2823 , easy! - look up sandpits nr you, go see them , explain what you want and ask to see sample of sand, or take some home in buckets, buy shapers, or use tools you have and test! Washed river silt is usually excellent, bit of clay in there but makes it stronger,. You want sand with no small stones whatsoever and if its good, but has some, screen the sand before you stack it. Yes - they will all think you are crazy but who cares, you'll be happy and its a fun road trip and experience, Done it many times including building small castle in front of giant loader drivers who became fascinated. let me know - there are pits in Boise, cascade and horseshoe bend as far as i can see - ask locally and you will find what you need. Want local - ask a local - and see if there are other folks who share your passion locally as great minds think alike!

Does anyone want to tell him that people can just use a spackeling/stucco trowel?

[@SandcastleAndy]

Hi There Bexter, yes! and people do use spackling trowels and all sorts of building and cooking tools to build sandcastles. we have a range of about 20 tools but we show what we know that works to achieve great resluts with practice. Every sand sculptor has their own style and it develops as they find tools they like and keep making and experimenting. We have developed our toolkits over many years and know they can give you the results you want for many years. When people reach a more advanced stage, we give higher level tuition about forming and transitioning between forms and also how to get faster - thats what the next video is about. Keep watching! #wedontdoboring www.sandcastlelessons.com has details of all our tools sets

[@Silentfire64]

What exactly are the spatulas called?

[@Silentfire64]

Sorry if this is a stupid question lol.

[@highstreetkillers4377]

Big one is a trowel and small one looks like a cheese or butter knife

[@MooreWorks]

spatulas

[@silasyonkman1414]

Windex Real names are offset spatulas. Look up offset spatula on amazon, there are all sizes you would need (sizes for small and large spatula) Normal offset spatulas have a rounded end, so if you want to have the tool like Andy has, cut the end off. I recently got a small offset spatula, and was able to cut the end using tin snips. Hope this helps!
