On this project, my workers built 800 square foot of flagstone patio--up by the house, with some supervision from me. A bit downhill from that, I built this 200 square foot patio....with a couple of artistic touches.
Land art/dry stone sculpture installation. 5' tall sphere integrated into patio and wall, with colorful inlay moving though and connecting all 3.

No I didn't intend that, but considering the yellow inlay could be like a tether connecting the sphere and patio--it could be seen that way!Amazing detail...
Have to ask though.... is this representative of the "old ball and chain"?...
Yep use mine every chance I get. Use makes things a lot easier.Boom lift. 👍
Ball & chain was the first thing that came to mind when I saw the pic.No I didn't intend that, but considering the yellow inlay could be like a tether connecting the sphere and patio--it could be seen that way!
And thank you
The link is to my website, and more sphere's that I've built. The structure of the sphere is stone--and ONLY stone. No hidden rods, framework or cement.Is that link you, or do you buy the sphere from him and install them?
Whats the structure of the sphere made out of, before the stone goes on?
Okay, so that's two--already.Ball & chain was the first thing that came to mind when I saw the pic.
Nice work!
Nice work, looks like a Sisyphean task is what I though.Ball & chain was the first thing that came to mind when I saw the pic.
Nice work!

I've tried a few superglues before, I'm currently using the m12 micro pinner and tb2 and it's working well. I'd still like to try some miter clamps one of these days when I have a little more cash for new toysI use biscuits along with 2P-10 and yellow glue. You can get pretty tight joints that way without clamps. 45.00 degree miters are a must.
Beautiful work, but those skinny deck boards are spaced too far apart for me….lol.![]()

Most of our islands are 10 or 11’ long, up to 5’ wide. With the way plumbers run pipe up hitting the island placement and pipes even with 6 people to set is very difficult. Now they can lift the island over the pipes, place/set the island, route wires, drill and place sink bottom.Got it perfect the 1st try. Wasn't that hard. We've got technique!
