Welcome along Mud, some nice work there and also in awe of how clean your workshop is
..
By the way Mud can you post some pics of the Texas hotties or any of them who work at Hooters over your neck of the woods ??
I think I need to visit Texas??? thanks for those @mud.

yessir raggles I do prefer a clean workplace.
for the most part I've always been a one man operation.
occasionally have a tender along, as needed.
now, because I like to post up pix, I want to show off some of my plaster carving
this piece is 14 feet tall by 14 feet wide, and I produced two.
one for each side of the Aztec Theatre Balcony. 2005 -

Hey Mud, great work!!! I live up here in Washington State. Are you using hemp fibers or fiberglass fibers to reinforce your material?
.
Jesus I have got a bonk on already !!! Let's get drunk and smash some Texas ladies ??.
.

Thanks Loren. Retired from the outside world, but, I still do a bit of casting.
reinforcing -
many times there is no need, otherwise, metal lath and channel iron are obvious
.........tied and/or welded
and the only true "reinforcement" in my mind.
to me, sisal and/or burlap keeps the piece from falling apart if it cracks.
or, many times I leave some sisal or burlap hanging out in order to attach it
seven pound burlap is a favorite. available in 100 yard rolls x 36 inch.
...never the 10 pound. too tightly woven.
Sisal (hemp) is also a favorite. comes as a bale.
very often a combination of the above.
I never did use fiberglass fibers.
and, as I like pix
producing a finial.
draw it
.
.
.
model 1/4 (then make mold and cast 8 pieces)
.
.
join using the sisal ponytails
.
.
ready to install

give me a holler when you get here
