I just watched your video on how to make a concrete bench w/letters IMAGINE.My question is where did you get the letters?I have done small projects pots/leaves. I think I am going to try a bench next.Thank you for the video. Cheers, Barbara I made the letters by printing them on Word, 7 inches high. They have to be printed backwards, so the letters will read correctly after the mold comes off. Then I cut out the letters and stuck them on the MDF board that I used for the mold and used spray paint over the letters so I would have a pattern after I removed the paper. Then I cut out the letters with an electric chisel. Making a mold for something this large is quite a project in itself. Good luck with your bench. I take pride in my work and hobby, its clear that you just do together with youreducational blog post. Iwas blessed to find it here.Thank you for posting this info and I ve saved the website so I can find my wayback here! I need to purchase a gunnera leaf mold for concrete. Where can I buy one. I need one and can t find one. Also any advise on reinforcing these types of very large castings? I would appreciate it. Hi Emily. I m answering this for my dad. We make concrete leaves directly over a real gunnera leaf. I have no idea where you would find a mold, but you could buy some brush-on silicone and some plaster for a support mold and make your own. There are YouTube videos that show you how to make a brush-on mold, but they won t show the process using a leaf. It s all the same, though, no matter what your using for the model. I don t know about reinforcing I ll ask him the next time we talk, and get back to you. Jonni I have no way of getting a gunnera leaf to make the mold. I live in Michigan and growing the leaf is not available for me, I have tried and can t get the plant to grow. I even gave seeds to my local nursery and they grew them for me, but the ended up dead. They wanted the leaf as badly as I did. LOL. I was hoping I could purchase a mold from you. I would be happy to pay someone to make me a mold if that is possible. I need this leaf mold for my part time business. I have posted to all I can on Face Book for anyone to send me a leaf and I would pay all of the costs but no luck on that front. Any additional help you can give me would be appreciated. Please let me know if you can help me. Thanking you so much for all your help. Emily Hi Emily. We don t make molds for the leaves, but you might want to contact David Jensen: https://www.rubbermoldman.com/He has a YouTube channel about creating concrete garden art using the molds that he makes, and his website does mention custom made molds. Even if he doesn t have the leaf mold, he might be able to make one for you.Good luck with it! Leave a Reply Cancel replyYour email address will not be published.
