This pizza oven would have cost twice as much in the states,the GRFC ( glass fiber concrete) laundry sink would cost you 600 bucks if cast by some artisan Shithead like me in the states...70 bucks in Mexico.The panther themed canales were 300 pesos each and would be a easy $100 stateside even with Mexican labor.

Are these things made with molds? I had some neat gargoyles I bought in Rosarita that would be a good item to produce in concrete.
jerry
Yes....complex items like gargoyles are tough to do....resin works better

Good job on the pizza oven! I'll post mine when it's done. What are the interior dimensions?

I would guess a 44 inch diameter...... I made one too big to get in the door on a early attempt!

J: is there a place in PP where I can buy corrugated metal sheets? I haven't been able to find any.
jerry
Not sure but the ace in Caborca has them so the one in Penasco must too.To bad the steel supply store went belly up on the outskirts of Penasco.I liked that place.
