Ever since a kid I've always thought these looked so bad ass
Good boy for vibes
We walk this neighborhood. I've done a lot of stone work in this neighborhood when I was a lad, so I have fond memories
Philadelphia PA
Just dropped in to say hello and leave these photos for enjoyment purposes
This is a mountain cur is he welcomed or naw
I've been waiting for this upgrade!!
I'm over 1200 hours played and always slept on this starter weapon but I've found a home against mindless masses with it.

Photos of my raised ribbon over the years
Sorry to make you all jealous. For years, all I ever got was +3s and the like. Now I'm bloody rich!
This is different then how I traditionally do ribbon pointing but nonetheless here it is.
📍Mount Airy, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Kimmel center and a cool brick building behind it. Such detail
I'm no gsd expert. He's in the gsd club but not really. It's his lowest percentage. He's mostly mountain cur. One of his grandparents is a gsd.
Been a mason since 2009. Only job I've ever had. Love the field. Very passionate mason. My dad was a mason, his dad was a mason, and my mom's dad was a mason, as well as uncles cousins etc. Philly based.
Demo'd every joint with an SDS chisel bit on a rotary hammer, whatever you wanna call it.
Packed it all back in. Using Lineworks Ecological mortar. Customer selected color (grey). After joints are packed and scratched (using a looped metal chip/scratch brush. Idk the official name)
Then ribbon point over the fresh pack (the next day or whatever, not while it's wet obv.)
Who knows what the future holds, skills we spent 20 years (generations) developing may become obsolete in the near future. Godspeed to all you good humans out there. Weird philosophy detour over.
I am a life long mason who regularly carves cement when doing a process called Ribbon Pointing. I also have a history of Graphite realism and various other art forms. I want to try doing relief work or stand alone cement pour and carve.
Does anyone have experience or know-how in this?
My plan was to buy cement board from home Depot and put it on an easel and experiment on that making leaves out of cement. I'm a 3rd generation master mason, I have 20 years of experience with cement and many many of its variations. I'm VERY comfortable with the material. Very comfortable using a margin trowel and fine tools.
I would greatly appreciate any advice, or even point me in the right direction? Thanks everyone.
