Hey Fernando that stone work`s looking good, and the weather cold! Would like to see it stained. For starters, what would you say could be the diy tools to carve and texture in that style you`re doing, besides the obvious seen on bench? Don`t you use a texture skin, and/ or recycled pieces of concrete to stamp here and there some realistic texture??

Hi Nelso  Good question !  Well every body has a diferent style ,   You  can  use any thing you like to give a concrete a   rock  look (Salt, sand , gravel, texture matts, rollers , brushs,  trowels or  any thing you can   imagem )  , thats the beauty on this  business  ) You are a Artisan   you   got  to make happen with your  creativity .

This is my  first  job  after the classe that I  had  3 moths ago ,  I believe   from 1 to  10   my costumers  gave us 10 for the hard  work and professionalism  my guys  put on  .

For starters  I strong recomend a hands on classes , It look simple  but  had a lot more  that  the picture  show  ,  We had to add  some  quimicals   to make  the mixture   work in the could weather .  

Believe  what I learn  on  classes was paid off  ,  also  all the people I meet and friends I made,  I could not ask God  for More   . 

Let me know if  you have any question  I will be glad to help you  with the little I know  LOL
