rock, does anybody know of a good video or how to book on the process of

I bought a couple of videos from JPJ Technologies. It was advertised on
T.V. To be honest the video is kind of amateurish, not something you'd see
on HGTV but all in all it did have some good information I think you'll find
it useful. I bought the Boulder Pond with Waterfall video
first then Make it a Fish Pond! video this one has a good plan for a
biofilter. Also the company is very courteous and will answer any e-mails
promptly. Hope this helps...keep in touch because I am going to start a
project as soon as the weather clears.

Thanks for the info. The project I'm planing may be on a larger scale and
involve 8-10 ft high rock out croppings.

First you need to make the substructure strong enough to walk on. As
you will end up doing that. So lets' say you want a 6 foot high by 9
foot around " bolder " with some chunks out of it so you can have a
tray for the water fall to run out of. The sub would need to be made
of ¾ " marine grade ( due to the water ) plywood. Covered with
contractors cloth ( a heavy duty medium mesh screen that is galvanized
) . The top coat could be A / B foam and or quickcrete. Internal
plumbing of 1 " sched 40 PVC. The whole thing would need to be
anchored to the ground. Use those deck things you can get from a home
center. Concrete with metal straps formed in.

Just some thoughts !

Ron, try
http://www.rockandwater.com for info. I purchased Erik Kincaid's book, and
it has very detailed info for building small to very large exhibits. The
site also has nifty little goodies like fossil imprints to emboss on your
rocks.

Another good site is http://www.urdls.com/index.html, suggested below.
Although they want to do the work themselves, their photos will give you
some very interesting ideas (eat your heart out!)

A big exhibit is a mind-boggling project. Good luck, and keep us advised of
your progress.
