Any Hypertufa experts here? |
|
I want to make a hypertufa urn, about 3 feet tall, and a hypertufa bench with legs. I've searched all over the net for instructions but no luck. Does anybody know how to make these items, such as reinforcing, etc. Or can someone recommend a pertinent book or other publication? Thanks.

3. There are a lot of interesting projects just scanning some of the sites |
|
Whenever you start your projects you should post some pics of the process, before/during/after. I'd love to see them.
I've considered doing hypertufa before but alas I haven't found the time to do it just yet. Perhaps after you post your results, maybe it will help motivative me.
Good Luck:hi:

4. Hypertufa is great stuff! |
|
For the bench, build a wooden one, cover it with a couple layers of chicken wire, then layer on the mixture.
To make containers, I used bigger containers as molds. be tough to make an urn though. maybe a skeleton of chicken wire?

I love the look of the planters and have thought about trying my hand at making a couple of them.
