I bought this book for my Dad to look through for ideas, instead the book only focused on making the (albeit awesome) table on the cover. There are 2 pages of other ideas in the back of the book, some of which were incredible, but it assumed you would know how to make them just by looking at the table’s instructions.

Basically, it tells you how the chair was made on the cover. It has some good points, but limited.

The text was interesting, although a bit more complicated than I had hoped. Great looks and unique methods.

I ordered this book because I’ve become interested in the process of sculpting with concrete. There is so little information out there! I read this two times, from cover to cover, in one sitting. I currently sculpt with metal, so this book just helped everything fall into place. By watching a project unfold, I was given insight into timing projects, possible disasters, and the vast potential of this medium. This was money well spent, and I can’t wait to get into the studio and start playing.
