Comment on When You Block the Internet on Your Phone, Something Astonishing Happens Mentally
LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 6 days agoOTOH my friend and I spent most of the weekend making this for his new apartment. The opening fits his little TV, so when he isn’t watching TV he plans play fire videos on it.

That’s so cool! Is it plaster? I really like the stone lines

It’s rectangles of 2-inch solid foam insulation glued onto a plywood frame. We carved the stones with knives and smoothed the edges with the side of a soldering iron. Then we pressed the surface of a big rock all over it for texture, and painted it with mod podge to seal it. Next will paint it gray and do some dry-brushing with black, brown and rust to give the rocks some variety. The “mantle” on top is an already varnished pine board salvaged from built-in bunk beds I made for my kids back in the day.

Very resourceful, I love it. If you remember, I’d be interested in seeing the finished product, but either way I hope it turns out great! Nice job making the time for something like this!
