This is why I have been watching Your videos...for caves for kitties! So of the five videos I watched today I forced myself to let all the ads play thru til the end as a thank You for this info! Thank You!!
That’s so sweet I appreciate your support, and the fact that you watch my videos
Just found this channel. VERY underrated. Thank you for the videos.
Thanks for the feedback... I appreciate you watching my videos.
You are fascinating to watch! My grandfather was a cement mason and built his own castle/tower. I wish I would’ve had the desire when I was younger to learn from him. The artistry caught up to me later in life. Thank you for your informational videos. You’ve got yourself another fan!
Well thank you for your kind and positive feedback I appreciate you taking the time to watch my video and I thank you for subscribing to my channel. Welcome to the wide world of synthetic rock.
Just digging in to your videos. You would have made an amazing teacher in school.
The fun kind, that everyone was late to the next class because of. Now to catch up on my homework.
Too cool... Thanks for the positive feedback, I appreciate you watching my videos.
I am from Kenya Africa and I follow your videos and love the way you get to teach the lessons with passion and slot of ease to understand
Thanks... I appreciate your feedback. 👍
I so enjoy watching a creative mind work! The use of foam is just genius. Light weight but strong. The only problem is I have so many ideas myself for my projects. Thank you. I have a suggestion for you - They now have wheel barrel that has 2 wheels in the front and it is incredibly stable when at rest or when you move a object. I'm 74 and it allows me to move things with such ease - check them out. Your video's are a blessing to me. Thank you!
Thanks for the positive feedback... I appreciate you watching my videos
My grandfather was a cement mason and built a lot of things for his city. He also built himself his own tower/castle (Northmoor Castle, Kansas City, MO). I could’ve learned a lot from him when I was younger but I didn’t get the crafty desire until I was older. Thank you for sharing such wonderful videos! You’ve got yourself another subscriber! :)
Thanks again…
You are the master rocksmith your ideas r truly simple and very creative.

Thanks for the positive feedback. I really appreciate you watching my video.
Thank you
Well, thank you for the kind feedback. I do appreciate you watch my video.
Now I'm inspired. I'm imaging using a garbage bag filled with bean bag styrofoam stuffing. Shape the bag where you want it, build up the shell, then dump out the fill from the bottom, and reuse the styrofoam as many times as you want...
Where has this man been my whole life! lol!
Edit: My husband just reminded me that he got a free bag of styrofoam peanuts bigger than I am a few years ago that's sitting in the shed waiting for a purpose. I think I just found it's purpose.
Well thank you for such a good and kind feedback… I really appreciate you taking the time to watch my videos
@@fauxrock And I appreciate the videos being available. I'll definitely check out your website.
👍👌👍
I've just found my happy place!
That cool…. Welcome glad you’re here.
You're my hero
Well… Hero??? That not pants that I fit into, but thanks just the same.
Thanks for the positive feedback and I appreciate you watching my video
Archeologists will find his rocks in 100 years and be very confused😅I love it
Thanks for the positive feedback I appreciate you watching my video and yes, archaeologist will scratch their head I suppose
@fauxrock when they find your washing machine and refuse encased in rock ill say.wondering what kind of civilization did this lol ...I'm an old movie prop maker and love to think about stuff like that
What washer I never hit no washer no rock… “I don’t know what you’re talking about Willis” thanks caravan 26. I appreciate your positive feedback in the fact that you took the time to watch my video.
I have a couple years of saved foam for stuff like this. Just tossed it in the backyard was going to throw it away but now I’m thinking of trying my hand at this
Totally cool… let me know if you need any further info. Thanks for taking the time to watch my video.
@@fauxrock I definitely had a passion for carving rocks use to do it with styrofoam when I was a teenager for my aquariums just never knew how to monetize it into profit
That is covered in my training. I’ve always said I don’t care how good of a rock maker you are if you don’t understand and practice your business acumen, you don’t go anywhere.
Can't find Part 2 of Trash Bag demo. Wish there were a link to it in your info below Part 1. Very interesting, thanks for posting!
Sorry for not getting back to you sooner…
I appreciate you watching my videos

I see you did the props for the movie "cars"
People always see all kinds of things in my rocks.😃
Hello, great video, where do you buy the reinforced netting you use??
Lowes or Home Depot will carry the mesh.
Hi there,
You reference and demonstrate the use of Hydroseal quite often. A product with the same name in Australia is a bituminous based solution for similar uses. Is this the same, or similar at least, to what you use.
Love the information you're sharing.
I would viewed as being similar in nature and I would think it would be fine to use
@@fauxrock that was a fast response mate! :)
I take the privilege of serving very seriously. I appreciate you watching my videos
👍
Do these work ok in a berm? We get heavy rains and I want some rocks on a down slope so I can make some beds bed it but worried about a foam rock washing away.
Keep in mind even though the rocks are made using a phone core the cement is still substantial wait to keep a rock in place
I was just thinking here in Nebraska my boulder would blow away if you didn't stake it
Where did you source your styrofoam, if you don't mind me asking? I'm building with styroaircrete and get smaller stuff from furniture stores but the bigger the better.
We purchase large block 4’ x 4’ x 8’, which we cut to make whatever it is that we need. The scrape we grind up to make our styrofoam cement mixtures
@@fauxrock ok thanks. I thought you might have sourced it for free somewhere.
Electric carving knife works even better at shaping foam. safer and much easier!
There’s a lot of ways to cut phone that’s for sure but I appreciate your feedback
Is it possible to build faux wall inside pond.possibly crack coz of water pressure.
I’ve made all kinds of these rocks inside and outside of water with no issues
when is part 2 ? anxious to see the finished trash bag rock
Part 2 was the very next video that I uploaded about two weeks after I put up part 1...
I appreciate you watching my videos thanks so much
@@fauxrock what kind of sealant do you use?
I’d use a good 100% acrylic sealer.
Please give me the name of the cloth you use that embedded into the mortar? Is it something I can get at stores such as Lowes? Is the cloth a necessary part of making the faux rock?
It’s not needed, but it does make the rock stronger…
Home Depot
48" x 150' Non-Adhesive Stucco Mesh
www.lowes.com/pd/BOEN-48-in-x-150-ft-Non-Adhesive-Stucco-Mesh/1001764418
I saw you said you buy 4x4x8 foot blocks but where can you find it. Sources? Please
Foam masters sell blocks… I’m sure there’s many other that do as well you just need to do a little research
How do you make a hollow rock to hide a utility such as a backflow pipe?
I would suggest you look at my video it’s just before the one you watched where I use cardboard to make the rock it’s a Hollow rock process
Maybe this will cover a well pipe.
Yes we’ve made many cover rocks over the years to cover various utilities
You do realize, at about 6:30 or so, it looks like a car. Right? :)
I’m always amazed at what people tell me they see in my rocks it never ceases to amaze me. Thanks for watching my videos.
4:37 😅
👌
Where can I buy the mesh you use?
The link below is for Home Depot, but Lowes also carries a very similar product as well.
www.homedepot.com/p/BOEN-38-in-x-150-ft-Non-Adhesive-EIFS-Stucco-Mesh-EM-38150/203071686
So why does the rock smell like cat piss,,,,lol sorry couldn’t resist the setup for the joke
Funny… 👍
100% You should be wearing a mask though with burnt plastic in the air.
I love burning plastic…
Will you use chicken wire at any time?
Yes from time to time, But I prefer the use of nonmetal reinforcement because most metal will rust out in a given period of time where the synthetic or the textile reinforcements will last forever
@@fauxrock Where do you get your reinforcing material? Looking forward to the next video in this series.
Stow is the company that makes the mesh
@@fauxrock Thanks
electric knife works well on styrofoam. you wouldnt have to suffer through the smoke or vapors that way.
Who said I was suffering from the smoke… I like to inhale Styrofoam vapors lol 😀
That’s a good idea… I never thought about using an electric knife before I have used electric chainsaws and saws all‘s.
@@fauxrock you are too funny! -- and talented!
Thanks 👍👌👍
At the 6:32 mark it kind of looked like Snoopy's head.
That’s funny, they have seen all kinds of things when looking at the rocks on Making. Thanks for watching my videos
I am trying to make a fake rock right now out of bags and cement
Totally cool... I’m glad you are giving it a try. Thanks for watching my videos
He said "poop" it out. (8:07) Sorry, I just thought that was awesome.
I said “pop” it out... Thanks for watching my videos
@@fauxrock my bad. I must have had "pop" in my ears. I apologize. I do love your technique, by the way. Do you have a website? I'd love to find out what materials you use specifically. Or I'll just watch the vids and guesstimate it. Thanks for sharing.
Ever thought of using an electric styrofoam "hot wire" knife. That way you wouldn't have all that styrofoam shit all over the place..!!
I have three different electric knives for cutting foam and could make a blade profile to whatever shape I wanted to cut, but in this particular case, the fine-tuning of carving, the exacting formation would be difficult with a hot knife. Thanks for watching my video.
Better not sit still around him too long or you might get turned into rock.
Now that’s not fair… 😆
