[Ferro List] FC With Ring Reinforcement

[Bo Atkinson]

Hello FC people,

I finally had a book offer i could not refuse ^_^  A publisher of  
craft books wanted me to do a book on "5 easy pieces". For me it was  
an opportunity to show my low cost, super low investment methods for  
FC.  They had me come down to their huge warehouse and do my thing for  
a couple days. The book came out very recently--

Retailers of my book--

This book details my methods in high quality photos with text between.  
Unfortunately, they did not reach me for proof reading. The main  
errors were on the page they described my simplified mix philosophy--  
Most of you would see that immediately! Still it would still work out,  
given that most bagged cement is defectively lumpy due to the  
countless holes that Portland cement manufactures design into their  
bagged product. I posted a little more on my page--

As to breathing cement, it has not bothered me, perhaps due to  
genetics-- Though I have habits of mixing fast and up wind from dust  
clouds-- Also i must admit i have avoided fly ash because of the  
hazard and low budgets. What we really need  is a dust-free micro  
batcher and bulk handling, (not dangerous bagged delivery). I recently  
realized that my family records 5 generations of working with earth  
and stone in the US, (among the first contractors to use manufactured  
Portland cement). I would have worked for them except for the Draft  
(1967) when i headed for the woods instead, (instead of fighting a  
dumb war which i knew too much about).

Here is my concept of a micro batcher-
