  1. Some Rock Structures I made

    Marc suggested I post some of my tinkering of Rock Structures here.

    This is Man-Made Rock, using rock studs and resin epoxy on certain joints (Using the rock studs) to make it super sturdy. A cat 5 hurricane may knock it over.

  2. My Saltwater Transition

    I've been working on this project for around a month. The planning has been going on for more than a year. With that being said, i'm a newb when it comes to this.
