Nice cement job on a patio. What are you complaining about? :shrug:

[galvano]

ok for the nice cement job on a patio.
I do not see anything other.
it is tourist sword !!! :D :D :D :D :D

Exposed aggregate; I'm impressed. :cool:
That's very labor intensive work; the stones have to be absolutely clean or they will pop out; also there is an art to scattering the stones on the wet concrete. ;) :D

About the Jambiya; will you attempt to polish it?

[Michael Blalock]

Actually Rick, those are precast exposed aggregate pavers. Made in a factory just like that Jambiya. Not very labor intensive but with cheap labor. Mexico for the pavers and India for the Jambiya. That's the case with most things these days.

[Rick]

Yeah Michael, you're correct they are pre-made (like everything else these days).
They just brought back memories of my years in the concrete biz doing E.A. walks. ;) :D

[Michael Blalock]

Yup, I'm in the business myself. Nothing like a good Marshalltown trowel from the old days compared to the low quility they put out now. The rivets are always poping out long before the blade has worn down.

[Rick]

Yes, my concrete name was 'Dances with Power Trowel' . ;) :D
But we digress.....

[ariel]

We have discussed Mexican swords in the past; what's wrong about discussing Mexican pre-mixed concrete? It's ethnographic, for sure.

[Lew]

OK guys this is getting very silly lets stick to ethnographic weapons please :rolleyes:

I love it...thank you. :D

The knife decor looks like it is made of white metal by what I can tell by the patina (looks a little greenish). I would say tourist. Not the best "floor model" I have ever seen (though it does seem "grounded").... :p

[Rick]

They don't call you the 'Closer' for nothing, Jose . ;) :D :D

[Battara]

And more with the - :D :D :D

[Battara]

BTW Rick,

A friend once told my wife, "...yeah but a good pun will clear out a room..." :D
