I hope there's a sheet of timber under that news paper or you'll never lift that wall

Good video. I see applications for bonsai. Tell me - what keeps this from falling apart when you move it? In bonsai we use a piece of metal mesh for the base.

Thanks for posting. I enjoyed the video it reminded me of my high school art classes. I had a brief opportunity to see inside of the networks that support me as the host of the computer assisted wavelength. thanks for responding. It is an honor to be supported.

I am wondering about the mortar--is Quick-crete the same thing as the mortar that you use or is it another type/brand? I can't seem to get the same consistency that you seem to be working with. Thanks for any suggestions you may have for me

antinbath - 11 years ago

Yep.

Kadajliger100 - 12 years ago

Sorry what is that grey stuff you use to stick the pumices together? is it Cement? Or did you say Morta or something I couldn't catch you lol

you sound sad

@greatruaha Any rock's fine.

antinbath - 12 years ago

@abc114able Any stones are fine. If it's for war games and you want it to be portable then pumice stone is the lightest.

Rawhide Kobayashi - 12 years ago

I'd like to make a more boxy shaped one with kebob stakes sticking out of the mortar in different spots as a defensive wall for my miniature war gaming artillery position. Any suggestions on what sort of stones to use?

greatruaha - 12 years ago

@TheFragrantMuse That sounds like fun, would love to see how it turns out! I think the volanic rock was used because of the light-weight quality, can't see why normal rocks could not be used, just need a strong base to build on.

Red Spark - 12 years ago

Very cool I must say. I should get some of my stuff on here.. you inspired me.

aw what a cute little wall !

franl155 - 13 years ago

hi antinbath - I think the thinking is that taking natural resources faster than they can be raplaced by nature is never very wise ecologically - peat marshes, which are a habitat for a whole range of wildife, are disappearing at a rate of knots, undersea environments are being destroyed by bottom-dredging, forests are being destroyed, all leaving the inababitants of those environments with nowhere to go but extinction. I don't know if pumice fields have their own wildlife but why take chances?

antinbath - 13 years ago

@franl155 Apart from the transportation impact I can't see how pumice would be bad ecologically. It's a natural and abundant product. Hypertufa is worse ecologically as the amount of energy to produce it, being an artificial aggregate, is much greater. The cement used to bind it is also worse. I'd recommend going natural!

antinbath - 13 years ago

@TheFragrantMuse Thanks for the comment. You can use any stone. I needed a lightweight one which is why I used pumice. Yes, the mortar's the real stuff, although it may be a bit coarse for what you're after.

Liz Fulcher - 13 years ago

Brilliant video. Question, couldn't one use ANY stones to make this wall? Why volcanico rock? I'm making a small wall for a miniature fairy garden that I'm creating with my grandson. I have small cottages and want to make tiny walls around the village. I also considered using polymer clay. Also, is that "real" mortar, like used in normal walls?

franl155 - 13 years ago

thanks for that - I've been trying to find something like this for, oh, months! I'm having to build my garden on a table-top, because I'm disabled and can't reach down to the ground; I've been trying to find some kind of "natural" retaining wall for it, and this looks like it! One thing: I read somewhere in my travels that using pumice isn't a good idea, ecologically; they say make hypertufa and use that: would this work in your project? Of course, I'd have to learn how to make that first!
