[joshl]

Talk to dakota9 i believe he has.

 

[lilrobb]

Yup,

t'was Dakota, Loren and myself - great lil party at his house and the outcome is somewhat presentable...

 

[mockery]

Robb got any pics? Always wanted to try this.

 

[lilrobb]

Dakota took some,
I can snap some in a bit of the outcome, it is fairly easy and doesn't require a lot equipment.
I made a sculpture looking awfully close to the Georgia 'G' LOL, I should grow red zoas over it and sell it here. haha

Thanks scrilla that is the site. I used a wheel barrel full of fine sand and slightly wet it to form a mold. You can put your mixture in and then put some of the loose sand in different places. Then when it sets up you can remove the loose sand. That makes some interesting rock.

made about 80-90 lbs of the rock in my 180, along with many other pieces. White portland cement, crushed oyster shells, sand, and a lot of time.

I completely forgot about my diy rock...it's in the back of my toilet.
