[center]Make a "Marble" Table From Concrete W/ Torched Wood Base

SNIPPET:
made a coffee table top from concrete, that looks like marble
(at least to me). The top is made using a glass fiber reinforced
concrete (GFRC) ready-made concrete mix
HTML http://www.pic4ever.com/images/19.gif,
which is pre-cast in a
melamine form. I separated out batches of different colored
concrete (from white to dark grey), mixed them together in the
form, and then swirled them together by hand to get the
marble-like appearance.
I also used an ancient Japanese technique called “Shou Sugi Ban”
to make the base for the coffee table. I used a modernized
version of shou sugi ban, employing a propane torch to char the
outside of the wood. The charred wood is natural way of
protecting the rest of the wood, and when finished with a
penetrating oil, such as Danish oil, provides a durable surface.
This technique works well on any open-grained wood, such as
Douglas fir, pine, and cedar. I used inexpensive 4x4 Douglas fir
lumber from my local big box store.

Story at-a-glance
֍ Commercial cleaners emit toxic chemicals that may cause
headaches and respiratory difficulties, organ damage and cancer
֍ You can clean your home effectively and safely using
natural ingredients like baking soda, vinegar, coconut oil,
lemons and castile soap
֍ Essential oils can be added to all of your homemade
cleaning supplies and laundry detergents for an extra
antimicrobial boost
֍ Ditch synthetic air fresheners and scented candles for
an aromatherapy diffuser, which smells wonderful and has
therapeutic benefits

I was pretty much up on most of the info except for the wine
brine soaking, the water in the oven to make a crust lighter and
the drying out boiled potatoes to get fluffier mashed potatoes.

Zip Tie Domes
Published on Dec 25, 2017
HTML https://www.ZipTieDomes.com
- This video is about the design and
fabrication of the Zip Tie Dome Geodesic Dome Connector /
Geodesic Dome Hub. This Geodesic Dome Connector is very easy to
use and allows the construction of a Geodesic Dome without the
use of tools and in a minimal amount of time. The video
describes the patented locking collar that surrounds the
Geodesic Dome Hub, and how this outer collar controls the axial
angles of the struts to create a much stronger geodesic dome
than other types of Geodesic Dome Connectors.[img
width=60]
HTML http://renewablerevolution.createaforum.com/gallery/renewablerevolution/3-250817121649.png[/img]<br
/> The video also describes how this is the only geodesic dome
connector that can handle struts made out of non-standard size
struts, such as metal rebar for concrete domes, or geodesic dome
struts made from wooden dowels. This geodesic domes connector
also works for building domes made from bamboo and other
non-standard size struts. 🌟

This is part 2 of my project to remove a back leaning tree. This
tree needed to be removed in this manner. I am pouring a cement
slab right where this tree was. Using a chain saw or even
digging it out would not have completely removed the roots. Not
removing the roots (over time) would decay and cause the ground
to sink.[/quote]

It would have gone a lot faster if he just used some dynamite.

RE, always wanting to do things FASTER is what got us into the
mess we are in totday. And dynamite harms the soil. Using
pulleys is the most environmentally sustainable way to engage in
brute force actions like uprooting a tree.

It was a JOKE AG. ::)
You will note though he is still using an FF powered winch to
yank the ropes. You can hear it in the background.
RE
[/quote]
Okay. ;D Yeah, I noticed that about the winch. ;) But an
electrical winch would have done the job just as well.
[/quote]
You couldn't set up an electric winch there, at least not
straight solar. Too many trees around, not enough sunlight
hitting the ground to power the winch. Similarly, not enough
wind to power wind turbines when there are so many trees
blocking the wind.
If you have a big enough portable battery bank you might do it,
but that would be outrageously expensive, along the lines of the
systems that DB sells and sets up. This is out of the range of
most people, you and me included there.
Dynamite comes cheap, and it really doesn't damage soil all that
much. It actually blows a lot of nitrogen into the soil.
RE
[/quote]
I didn't say a thing about a solar powered winch. All tow trucks
use an electric winch. Yeah, the source of energy ends up coming
from fossil fuels, but the point is that electric motors,
because of their instant and high torque performance, are the
best type of motor for a winch. In fact, nearly all pulley
applications (e.g. elevators) in modern society are applied with
electric motors. Yeah some of the big cranes are fossil fuel
powered but that is changing. Electric motors are better for use
with pulleys. I had a friend who was an electrician on an oil
platform in the ocean. They use LOTS of electric motors on those
platforms because internal combustion engines have a bad habit
of destroying clutches when used to lift heavy objects. Electric
motors do not burn clutches simply because they do not need
clutches.
The nitrogen compound that dynamite puts into the soil is not
the same as the same as that contained in chemical fertilizers.
If you want to believe the soil microbiota "benefits" from an
explosion, then I will have to disagree with you. Killing
thousands to millions of microbes in a blast won't improve their
appetite for fixing nitrogen so plant life can benefit from
access to nitrogen.
All that said, since this guy just wanted to pour a concret slab
where the tree used to be, he certainly could have used
dynamite. The concrete slab is the end for that area of usable
soil.
