Ravyn, you can cast concrete beds. Those would look cool. The cinderblock ones might be easier to move though.

Yeah, been kicking around the idea of concrete casting for quite a while now... just haven't tried it yet... I love throwing pottery, but the clay kills the hands, concrete'd be worse... cinderblocks are heavy, wonder if I could make a slightly lighter form using wire mesh and cloth??

Do you have a source of artificial fabric? I'm talking old polyester fabric and such. You can shred that and mix a lot of it into the concrete, it won't be as durable or structurally sound, but for that kind of things it would work great. I think a recipe I saw was 1 part concrete, one part shredded artificial fabric, one part water, and 0.3-0.5 parts cement. I'm not sure on the recipe though. Sounds a bit too wet.

Heh, I never did the poly shirts and such, lol... hmmm... might be able to get some cheap polyester stuff from Goodwill... I'll look into it...

Another recipe calls for one bucket artificial fabric shredded, one bucket moist, shredded newspaper, a bit under a bucket of cement, and "a suitable amount of water".

Or you build your passive aggressive mom the wall she wants as a surprise and you get
"I see I have a lot of dusting to do... And a lovely new wall..." :/

Well, at least she didn't say 'Nice, but I wanted it 6" more that way..."
