I've recently stared making small furniture pieces out of concrete so it's very nice to know that there are professionals who are consistently taking the craft to the next level. Thank you!
Mr Baker, I also love concrete and use it in my art, however you are a genius with what you have accomplished. Your work is really sublime. Cheers from Australia,
Your work is beautiful. Question please, I am making a concrete sculpture and want the finish to have MORE air bubble holes, how do I do that??? Is there some type of additive?
It looks like Dusty uses a similar type of fibre to the one that I do, which is pre-soaked in a certain liquid. I'm not telling either. The results are stunning.
I understand you guys not wanting to tell what it is. Id really like yo know because i do sculptures and started experimenting with concrete and would love to have some natural crack !
It's probably much stronger than granite and marble, but yes. Comparing might be a bit rude as what matters is not the material but the work, the end result, to what it was shaped into. It's like asking an artist what is better, the pencil or the brush.
I wouldn't want 2 expose a masons techniques as many come from years of trial & error that his art form has developed for himself. Everyone trys 2 follow instructions themselves eg. Why furniture from ikea falls apart in deadpool. Lol I would recommend making coaster size block molds & experiment with different types of concrete (some are exothermic that cure w/heat -maybe you can find minerals or materials that react w/heat & h20 -again then density /rate of heat exp/temp requires 4 desired results. ..why he should never tell his methodology ) They also have polycrete different than asphalt you can shape like clay if mixed w/less h20. Just like pressing in a leaf for texture try a dried resin & bonding pigment /Crete as dry material @ bottom thin layer place what mix between 2 divide sections like he did splashing or try something @different depths. When dry flip over maybe you just need 2 polish & grind 2 get a cool look. Maybe if you used certain chemical mixture it undergoes a reaction during cure then try etching methods maybe a step was left out showing what made wet so with heat etches pattern...idk it's up 2 you thats what makes art observe a technique then make it your own. This is a Talented man who has a trade we can't let pc programs copy & cnc passion & sweat
Dusty, can I come and train with you for a week or two? I can't match your vision at all, or your experience! I just want to learn how to do something that LASTS and the finish/seal technique!!! Ha!
@Troy Minster @Stephen Mbatia @BibleTalk101 don’t get me wrong, I admire the man’s skills and his craft. I’m sure it has taken numerous years of learning and hard work to get to this level of craftsmanship. The guy has his own approach and technique that might differ from what others are doing. It is not art, though. Creativity and imagination alone do not result in art. To answer the question: art critics, historians, researchers, teachers, representatives from different guilds, etc. UA-cam titles and comments surely are not a reference scale and do not decide who qualifies for what title or degree. The title of a video might say someone's a PhD but does that alone make him one? No. Answer me this: do you see these countertops qualifying as pieces of art in future art history textbooks, studies, dissertations, etc.? I think not. No disrespect to Dusty Baker and his craft. I am curious what he has to say on this matter and if he considers himself an artist and his works - pieces of art.

Your work is beautiful. Question please, I am making a concrete sculpture and want the finish to have MORE air bubble holes, how do I do that??? Is there some type of additive?
at 02:39 he says it, the big secret..lol...calcium powder..
The big secret to veining is Sure Crete on u tube.
Baking soda and Sure Crete powders will do the same thing.
No guessing the secret.

Does anyone know what ratios of cement/sand/water and other additives he uses for his concrete?
Please could you tell me what type of concrete you use and with which another component to get results is == THANKS

Concrete was said 30 times in this video.... or something
OMG where is your mask when using cement powder etc? Scary.
Seament.
I be your student
Making custom sinks and countertops doesn't make you an artist.
