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! :)

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!

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.
