Being an electrician, the only thing I'd change is that I'd build this to house a cheap, replaceable solar light inside the rocks & completely cut out the numbers so they can be backlit at night. :)
That’s an awesome idea…thanks for watching my video
Lots of little gold nuggets in this video. Great technique spraying on the letters then carving it out.
Thanks as always Jay… I appreciate you watching my videos.
I sure wish you would show us how to make your different mud mixes. Thanks for all your great videos.
Thanks for the positive feedback. I appreciate you watching my video.
I provide extensive formulation training on my various mixes with my online Dvd training course and my hands on classes
I don’t know how I stumbled across your videos, I sure am glad I did, excellent job my friend, giving me great ideas for the cold Canadian winter that’s on its way.👍🇨🇦
Thanks for your feedback… I appreciate you watching my video
Your videos are great! As somebody who has always wanted to make a ton of stuff out of concrete and hasn't had the space before but does now - it'd be really helpful to have clear instructions about what is in each mud mix you're using throughout each video, even if it's just in the notes after :D Don't stop making these, they're so helpful!
Thanks for your positive feedback. I really appreciate you watching my video.

That’s awesome… thanks for your positive feedback and the time you’ve taken and watching my videos.
Mike, another great video. I like the mixed format and great time lapse editing (your Piano skills are improving 😉). Thank you for sharing the paint mix tips, explaining each step and ratios. This is great home and garden improvement content an thanks again!
Thanks for the positive feedback. I really appreciate you watching my video.
Excelente tutorial
Thanks for the positive feedback… I appreciate you watching my video.
Excellent. Indicate the composition of the cement mixture
Thanks for watching. My formulations and processes are only offered through my training. I utilize TH-cam to promote my business.
So fun to watch your creativity and ingenuity. Now I need to get going on my project …
Thanks so much for your positive feedback… I so appreciate you watching my video. And wish you well on your upcoming project.
Love this! I need to put new lot # out front on both my lots. This will look great and then do some big rocks - I want a fire pit too in between my two lots somewhere. :-) Using blocks or rocks (real ones) :-) Thanks loads. Now if I can just get my material gathered. Oh yeah.
That is awesome… Thanks for watching my video
WOW
... WOW
WOW
EXCELLENT VIDEO
You are so SMART and so Talented....
INGENIOUS...
please no background music needed
Remember... all we need and want is to HEAR YOU TALK...
Thank you very much for your kind feedback. I really appreciate you watching my video.
@@fauxrock
Seriously… This was excellent excellent video I will be watching more of your videos in the future
Thank you again very much
@judichristopher4604 Thanks Judi… I appreciate your feedback and the time you take in watching my videos.
Very nice. Laby of love.
Thanks for the kind feedback I do appreciate you watching my video.
@@fauxrock I work in this industry as well but I always pick up different techniques (tips and tricks) by watching other artisans. Thanks for the good work and transparency.
This may just be the project that gets me started in faux rock making! Love, love, love it!! In one of your future videos, can you address the clean-up process? How do you dispose of the extra concrete?
Well, thank you very much for your positive feedback. I appreciate you taking your time to watch my video.
My objective is always to mix the right amount of cement, but if I do have a little extra, I have a mold that I put the mud in and eventually it gets filled thus not wasting any Cement. Thanks again.
Um verdadeiro mago das pedras fantástico...
Thanks for the positive feedback. I appreciate you watching my video
Nice work 🎉
Thank you for the positive positive feedback and the time you’ve taken it and watching my video.
Fabulous!
Thanks again…
Wow I like it, I want to make one too!
Thank you very much for your positive feedback, and the time you took to watch my video.👍
Parabéns, que idéia top, com papelão.
Thank you for your positive feedback. I really appreciate you watching my video.
Put some lights in the numbers would look amazing
No that’s a good idea. Thanks for the positive feedback. I really appreciate you watching my video.
What would you suggest to seal this if i wanted to integrate this into a fountain for my mailbox. What would make it hold water at the bottom without it leaking/absorbing
There are a lot of ways to create water tight characteristics. I generally use a Hydro seal coupled with 100% acrylic sealer‘s. Both are available on the market by several manufactures.
I love these videos of yours... but can I use these faux rocks in Seattle where it is very very wet? That is my main concern. Thank you for your artistic and clever videos!
Thank you very much for the positive feedback… I really appreciate you taking your time to watch my video.
Yes, these rocks can be utilized in Seattle. Your weather is just like mine here in Oregon.
Wish I could watch this in person.
Thanks for your feedback. I appreciate you watching my video
So how large can you make one if you wanted it to walk through and it not blow over in the wind?
@kevinpayne3819 there is no limit to the size that you could make rock features using this process
👍👍
Thank you for your positive feedback. I really appreciate you watching my video.
AWESOMEEEE
Thanks for the positive feedback. I appreciate you watching my video
I might try a snow fence.
Awesome… thanks for watching my video.
Very cool! Do you sell these?
Thank you for your positive feedback. I do appreciate you watching my video.
Yes, I do sell custom-made items as well as rock and stone panels to construct any type of a feature you have in mind to do
I've watched many of your videos, so apologies if I've missed it. I'm sure you have a video explaining what your mud consists of, although I think there was some confusion over the fibres used? I'm assuming it's just regular chopped (fibreglass) fibres? As for the paint you use, is it just regular latex paint, and for inside or outside use? I'm further assuming the colour is locked in when you use sealer, and to that end regular concrete sealer? This is the part I'm wondering about most - what type of climate do you have there? I'm not aware of your location, but the green environment suggests to me you are somewhere that can be quite wet at times and probably very cold during winter? Do you have any issues with the paint you use? Thanks in advance.
I use a lot of different formulation throughout the videos that you’ve watched most the time I’m using just regular mortar mix from Lowe’s or Home Depot because that’s what most of the viewers from TH-cam are going to be able to get hold of. I do use stronger mixes that I have formulated proprietarily that I only offer to people who go through one of my different training courses. It’s always best that you use 100% acrylic paints not the latex because the sealer can burn it very easily. You were right thinking that once you put the sealer on you like the colors in and you lock out any other thing being able to further stain the rock a different color.
Thanks for watching my videos. I do appreciate it.
As far as Weather goes, I have had rocks that we made for years in the south west very hot temperatures very dry. I’ve also been in the north east, and the north west where we have moisture and freeze thaw issues to deal with but all of the formulations with the processes you’ve seen on, TH-cam are working fine without issue again I started making rock features back in 74 and then in 89. I started doing artificial rock, so this isn’t something I just started yesterday it’s tried, true and tested. Thanks again.
@@fauxrock Thanks for your reply and information. We have ready mixed cement/concrete here, but I always prefer to mix my own to achieve the desired consistency. It's interesting to learn that you use acrylics, rather than latex. Over here, we call it emulsion paint, but from many videos I've watched over the years, I know your latex is our emulsion. I have made a few faux rocks in recent years, and have used a stamping method with silicone texture mats (mainly volcanic moulds I took in the Canary Islands), plus black release powder so as to avoid the concrete sticking to the mats, and to leave a dark residue to highlight the texture. I have also made a couple of 5ft Easter Island heads, and aim to make some Egyptian type items - no idea what yet! I have sealed them with waterproofing liquid and, like you, have not had any problems from freeze/thaw. We have freeze/thaw here too, but maybe not on the same scale as in your northern states. We may have below freezing temps for 7-14 days each winter, but most of the time our winter temps are around 5-10 degrees (centigrade - 40-50 Fahrenheit), with highs of mid 30s (again, centigrade - mid 90s Fahrenheit), although most years we get late 30s for a few weeks, but average summer temps are around mid 20s (around 80 Fahrenheit). That is here in the South East of England - up North is cooler and wetter. The big problem with mine is the weight - although I note from some of your videos, yours can be heavy too. I guess it's the nature of construction. Keep the videos coming as I really enjoy them.
@TrueBrit1 the early 70s are used to live in Cornwall… so with that I’ll say thanks my brother across the pond…
Do you mix in a fiber in the cement, or is it bought already with fiber in it?
Are utilize a lot of different materials to make mixtures/formulations. it really depends on the performance characteristics needed to accomplish an objective. Often times I do use fiber reinforcement along with other textile reinforcement. Thanks for watching my video.
Wow, really nice! How much does that weigh?
Thanks for the positive feedback. I appreciate you watching my video. The rock weighs 55lbs. Thanks again.
What is the bonding agent u use
I use 100% acrylic bonding agent
Make a nice 🪦 affordable 🤭 smart, practical..
Thank you for the positive feedback. I really appreciate you watching my video.
What is the bonding agent you used?
The bonding agent and or an admixture that I use is a waterborne acrylic resin. Thanks for watching my video
how long did it take to make?
About eight hours in total, which was done over a couple of days due to dry times
Has anyone seen a DIY for fake concrete slabs? (not rocks)
Thanks for your feedback. I appreciate you watch my video. Don’t know anything about fake concrete slabs I haven’t seen anybody putting videos on that up.
