Your info is informative and to the point. It bugs me when one is making an educational vid and they waste so much time discussing their "journey" that they took to get to this point in their lives....blah, blah, blah! I am sorry, but I didn't come here to help with your personal enlightenment! So thanks for not wasting my time. I so appreciate when an educator does what he is intended to do...educate! Occasionally a brief background story will add flavor, but believe it or not...that is a talent when it is doe right...a talent most of us aren't blessed with. So keep up the good work...had you been a touch more prepared, it would have been perfect. I did have one small disappointment. After all that work, I can't believe you didn't return to the fountain site once it had time to properly cure in order to show us the final project in all its glory! Would love to have seen it running.
Nice job impressive skills but tell me when you went ot so much trouble and did so much hard work WHY did you use that bowl with some tiles missing and others falling off ?
No, your right of course I would never even try to build one 'like' it. It would look nothing like that. Yet would at least be correctly done. All I see here is a badly built cement eye sore. Yet if it had at least been constructed properly, I would have given them some points, like wetting the joints before applying the cement or removing the surplus cement from the other surfaces😀
Tile work needs refining. Their molds are nice but this construction and working with putting together for final product leaves a lot to be desired. If the people who make the molds can’t make it look more professional - how will the home owner on their first try. I think they would have been better to not tackle this if they don’t know how. Just because you know how to make oil paints, doesn’t mean you know how to paint a picture. I Would get a really good concrete or stucco guy, brick guy or someone who works with hand forming details for houses - whoever and preferably someone who does tile work to to show the best way to cut and neatly fit tiles on rounded pieces. You could show making the pieces with your molds then have the professional guy to actually put the cast pieces together. Quite honestly, this video makes me wonder about tolerances in how close and refined the pieces fit together. Just my 2 cents but I think this video shows your products in a bad light. I’d like to see this redone and to do one on the concrete railings and columns. I’d also like to suggest some plain stepping stones (that we can decorate as desired and some with more themes..
