nathan what did you use for substrate for bbq grill

Comment by Nathan Giffin Vertical Artisans on March 3, 2013 at 7:54am

Foam...

Comment by Mike Yount on March 3, 2013 at 9:17am
Would you have used foam if it was a project for a customer?
Or was that because it was a display?
What did you use for your structure layer?
Bonder, spider, scratch?

I would use foam all day long as long as the foam is on a slab...if not there would need to be a footing...

Foam is a perfect sub for this stuff... you must detail around the BBQ area though.  Make sure the foam is al out of that area.

Foam, Bonder, Lath,   It is all on the VA site... at least 7 VDOs on the table alone.

I logged into the VA site but don't see the info.
You've mentioned vdo's in the past that I couldn't find.
Sorry I'm sure it's right in front of me.
Please tell me where to look.
Thx Nathan

Got it

Wow so much more info on the new site!

 

Anyone on this forum that is at all serious about working in this field would be crazy not to subscribe.

The construction tips alone can save you 10x the cost. Not to mention all the trial & error time.

I think people sometimes forget that their time is valuable.

The less time you spand trying to figure out the best way to build something the more time you can spend chasing new work!

I have to agree with Mike above I just rescribed to the VA site and there is so much new material on there and is by far the best money I have spent on training material hands down!!!

So informative and easy to follow Nathan its a huge credit to you.. Thankyou so much to you and all the other contributors such as Mike Vernelson for making this available to us. Man watching him work on these videos is so inspiring the guy is the man at granite carving!!!

One day I really hope to attend 1 of your classes over in the States I can't wait!!!
