Comments: the composition of long lasting concrete was lost during the dark ages, we are still trying to get to the point of finding the recipe.

This mixer is an example of scrounged parts. A lawn mower engine, 55 ga. drum, rototiller shaft and blade, and some pipe and angle steel. I use it more than my big mixers because of the manageable amounts of fibrecrete it produces. With Nolan's sprayer it has been used to build several strawbale homes and is currently doing a ferro/fibrecrete structure. I will bring it and some other goodies to our gathering.
