- For Mother's Day I fixed an eagle statue for my mom. The process ended up being much faster and cheaper then my original plan of making a silicone mold and casting new parts. In the video I show you the process and materials I used for this project. you can use this method to fix all your broken concrete objects.

Best concrete/sculptures repair video I’ve found...can easily see your grandparents DNA and craftsmanship shine through..your attention to detail is very impressive. Not sure what you do career wise but you always have the stone mason field.
Thanks! Usually I am making furniture, but also like any sort of sculpture work as well.
Beautiful restoration, you’ll make your Family proud of you
That was amazing! Your mom will be so happy!
Your grandpa would be so proud. Great job!
You definitely have your grandfather's talent!
Beautiful job!!!!!!! You’ve given me great instructions and confidence to try my own repairs. Thank you!
You are a wonderful daughter. I'm sure your Mom was so grateful.
Glad I saw this I finally Fixed a donkey that was missing his ears and a koi fish fountain got its tail back today!! Great video!
Nice!
Your concrete repair of the eagle video was very helpful to me. Thank you. I repaired 2 deer with your tips.
Nice!
Great job. I had my doubts about the quick-crete, I've never had much success with it, but you did a terrific job and I think I need to try it again and use a bit more patience :-) I bet your mom was thrilled, the eagle turned out awesome. Thanks for sharing....
Thanks! Patience is key, the set up time is so fast I naturally wanted to rush, but for vertical surfaces it really only gets workable past the 10 minute mark, before that it just wants to slide around. It's held up so far so she's happy.
Thank you for the tutorial, I have a turtle that froze over a bad winter, years ago. Now I will give it a try to repair. Thanks again. Your repair was perfect, great job.
Thanks!

Congrats, very impressive repair. Your mom must have been pleased.
Looks great! I have an old plant stand that I rescued out of someone's garbage back in the 80's! I've used it as is all these years! Now it seriously needs attention...I was leaning towards your method but my H recommended an epoxy concrete adhesive. After going his route initially, it's still in need of the concrete. Thanks for the video!
No problem!
Great video, thank you.
@@HoneyBadgerWoodWorks how is it holding up so far?
Thanks, This the only one I've found that actually shows the repair being completed so far. Great find, Thanks
This was great to see! I just inherited Snow White and 7 dwarfs concrete statues for my backyard. Two of the dwarfs are very crumbly and I wasn’t sure how to repair them. I’m going to try your method, slow and steady, one at a time :)
Nice!
What a great repair. You have given me the desire to repair 2 huge concrete lions statues I have.
Nice!
Thank You! (5 Years Later) I have a beautiful ornate concrete Birdbath that has sections of it falling apart. After researching various options, I have settled on your Method of repair for this project. Wish Me Luck!
Nice! Sending my leprechaun full of luck your way.
Simply superb...your grandfather would be proud!
Thanks. Really nice thing to say!
Really beautiful work. The repairs you did are such that it looks like the statue simply aged. You have to sort of really look to see it was repaired.
Wow wow wow!!! Great job ....I am looking to fix a little ear on a dog statue this was awesome!
you did a great job making the nose, everything else too. thanks for sharing, I will try this on all mine.
Thanks!
What a nice Mothers Day gift!
Thank you, I have a bird bath and two large ducks that were my Grandma's. About 40 years ago one of the ducks lost a chunk of his neck.
BTW Someone took a picture of me riding one of the ducks when I was a toddler about 60 years ago.
This is beautiful. I also acquired a goose that my grandmother used to dress for every season that was on her front porch and it sat at my recent house and due to some irrigation issues it started to get weathered badly and cracking and I want to fix it for my kids all sit on this thing especially son lol. You know in 40 years from now he comments something similar haha
Great job little lady.
Awesome! I have a large cement flamingo I want to fix and I had NO IDEA how to do it. Thanks so much!
Nice!
Awesome job on the eagle and also other projects on your videos and you give a good ideas and solutions on your work that you do. thank you.👍
What a great gift.
Very nice
I’m sure both your parents would be/are proud.
Amazing.
Thank you for sharing this video. We have a large turtle sculpture in our backyard that is of sentimental value to my daughter. The head was broken off either in moving or landscaping work soon after moving in. I think this method looks perfect for doing the repair. I will likely drill holes and use rods to reinforce and stabilize the joint. This video may resurrect a piece that I’ve been afraid to tackle for years. Thank you again!
No problem. Plus, at the time i made this I couldn't speak for the longevity of the repair, but it has been almost exactly two years and is still going strong.
HoneyBadger WoodWorks Excellent news! Waiting for a few dry days and giving this a go!
Nice work. I have a big angel statue where the wing broke in a few pieces so my project is bonding pieces together.
Joy how did you go with your angel wing ? I have my mothers one to fix, it has crumbled and a piece broke off. I’m in Australia so hope I can find similar products to fix it.
fantastic and so easy to understand. I seen on where he added the bonding agent to the cement. i like the idea putting it on the item instead. I am nervous with the idea of the concrete statue company that makes saying they use bondo.
I'm impressed very good job
awesome video i have a similar project and now have a plan thanks to you.
Great job just what I needed! Thank you
Nice!
You did an awesome job
Beautiful.
I have no idea why this got suggested by YT to me in 2021, but I'm glad it did. You did a great job there.
Thanks!
Great job! You have a talent in statue repair and sculpting.
I subscribe to your channel the other day you got a lot of talent kiddo keep up the great work.
Fantastic Job, really professionaly done.
Thanks!
Maybe your Grandpas brother thought he had the Maltese Falcon, hence the damage lol. Great repair job.
Interesting history, very helpful, thank you! I love your wind chimes!!
Amazing. You did such a beautiful job and this video is really helpful. Thank you! I am sure your mom loves it!
Thanks!
What a gorgeous job, very talented..
Thanks Man!
I am very impressed by your work. You have artistic talent. You could build up a business doing these kinds of things.
Great job!
This is freakin awesome! YOU are an artist!
Thanks!
Thank you!
nice job...will give it a shot on my yard tackies..
Very impressive.
Great job. Thank you for an interesting tutorial.
Great job.
Excellent! Thanks for the pointers.
Such beautiful work.
Great stuff..concrete repairs are a pain you made it look look easy
Wow, great job..your Nonno would be proud!!
You did a fantastic job on the statue. I'm repairing Cherubs to put on top of a cement fencing where it was originally. This video is so helpful because I can now see that it does set quickly but will stay in place fairly well. Mine is missing pieces so I will need to fill in areas and maybe work on several steps. Thank you!
You did an excellent job😀
you made grandpa proud
Awesome job..thanks for the info..now i got some repairs to do..thanx again very helpful.
Excellent! You are a capable person.
Great job
Awesome job
Wonderful!
Buy clear mate Brick/Cement sealer and apply several coats over the entire statue and it will last a much longer time. Behr , Valspar and Homax all make good products.
Hey thanks for the tip. I want to have it sealed before winter and just haven't had the time to product search.
Good job. I thought the idea with bonding agent was to put it in the cement mix.
Well done , nice to see 😊👍 Thx
Awesome!
You did a great job! Very impressive.
Looks good, the wing might drop a bit but you should be able to add some more concrete and bond it to the other part
How often.do you have to wet in order for cement to dry properly?
Very good job on the yard Eagle
Can you make a video about making a cast of what’s left of my aged quatrefoil? It fell and shattered a corner. I hope a mold will replicate the holes and cracks in the plaster or concrete they used.
Also how can you tell what it’s made of? You are so talented!!
You want to mail it to me and I fix it? Can you send me some images of it, so I can determine if it's something I can do. Honeybadgerwoodworksllc@gmail.com
At 4:49 i noticed your miniblinds in window looked hammered. Having raised kids and cats, Ive seen this phenomenon before, it does eventually go away.
That's my parents house and the blind is actually made of sticks, hence the look.
Love to work with concrete.
You did a phenomenal job!
Amazing job! Thanks for sharing.
Well done...I like your work it's inspiring.
Nice! Beautiful job!
Thank You for this!!!!
Excellent !! It’s in your dna 🧬 I have a Saint Anthony Statute my landscaper moved and it fell over breaking the head off. Any suggestions?
Do you still have the head?
great job
Beautiful
V good job. Salute
Thanks!
Nice work. I have a pagoda to repair.
Great video, talented repair.
I have a Griffin I need to repair as well
You are too modest! When you said " flying by the seat of your pants" I almost turned you off as I thought I needed more of an expert. Haha to me. You are a gifted repair artist and sculpture. Enjoyed your video very much. Thanks.
Thanks!
Great job well done, I have three small concrete sculptures to fix and paint, another person said to coat it with water based latex paint primer. you agree?
I prefer oil-based paints for anything outdoors. They are just more durable. A contractor friend of mine said to use Thompson Water Seal (they make a variety for Masonry) it you want to clear coat it. I don't think my mom ever put anything on there, so it's still holding up without a finish.
@@HoneyBadgerWoodWorks Thank you for your reply
Thank you, I am planning to fix a cement garden tortoise’s mouth for my husband.
No problem!
That's so good. Gonna fix my poor duck now
You’ve done a beautiful job
Thank you, now I think I can work with my pond statue and make repairs to the girl holding a clam shell.
Nice!
Amazing job!!! I have a clay garden frog which is chipped. Once fixed I'm thinking of priming, spraying and clear coating it. Any thoughts?
That sounds reasonable. It's more expensive but for outdoor pieces I spend the extra money on UV resistant paints and clear coats. Nothing outside will last forever, but it does help with longevity.
I bought an angel statue for my mothers grave. It has a tiny chip on the wing, but it's noticeable. I want to fix it as it's right on the top of the wing. I'll try and fix it with quick fix cement. From what I've seen it's important to wet the statue to help it bond.
Is the bonding agent necessary or will wet cement dry on on it's own?
How did it hold up?? I have a cherub for a fountain that needs major repair
Held up great, still looks good. I wish they let you post pictures on here because I get asked that a fair amount and it would be cool to post picture updates.
I wish you'd have shown the tools you used for carving the features into the cement. I am going to try and repair a garden statue that fell apart into several pieces. The intricate design restoration is what concerns me - we'll see how it goes. Nice, instructional video.
They aren't specialized tools, it is a cheap set of clay/sculpture tools I have had for years. You can get something similar on Amazon for like 10.00. The one I ended up utilizing the most was a wooden clay tool with a pointed and tapered end, similar to a thick knife blade. Something like that you can make out of a scrap piece of wood.
Amazing and inspiring job!...
Just a small detail, it isn't needed but:
Isn't the eagle supposed to have nostrils for breathing?
Thanks!
In real life yes, but I was copying someone else's work and they obviously did not care about realism.
repaired some of mine using Hydraulic cement, found it started hardening fast, but was able to sculpt areas if I worked quickly. Painted them white to match color, but a year later, the cement failed, literally crumbled. Wondering if I just had a bad batch of cement that i purchased...
Could very well be. Especially from some of the bigger stores. I have seen pallets of cement sitting out in the rain around here before.
@@HoneyBadgerWoodWorks Mine came in a plastic tub. Maybe I worked it too much, but then again, some of the foundation patches I did on my house failed too. may try a fast setting mortar next time. Know it will harden slower, but know mortar also can expand and contract decent with changing temps
How has the fix hold up after these many years? Thanks in advance. Great video
Still looks the same, no majority cracking, and everything is still in place.
Thanks so much! :)
