Geology – Sand Castle Science
All building in Sand Starts here – How to Test your Sand effectively, Anywhere. This is how we test sand in Quarries, Rivers, Lakes, etc.
Sand Smoother – soft packing a perfect finish
Using this very high tech tool (LOL) you can finish off the base of your sandcastle as this is what counts in competition! (or its just neater)
Soft Packing Stairs – very simple
Now I used a piece of plastic molding but if you have anything light and stiff that is the right width – then this is just for you!
Stone wall Panel
Simple fast wall panel where I use a level! a fast clean way to break up large flat surfaces to create interest and accent your castle for more WOW factor.
Sand Castle Doors (BIG)
Castles with BIG doors always have more impact – we show this in lessons everyday and we will be featuring different designs as we make more videos! (we are not leaving out small doors!)
How to start forming in 2025
Forming Sand is easy – much easier than trying to stack and pound on it with your hands! A few buckets and a shovel, water, and voilà – 110 lbs of Sand in the air! (ok, 50kgs) video contains Mixtures, Compaction, Gravity, Vibration, self levelling, volumes, weights and tool use.
My bucket is stuck, dear Liza..
yes, so you have packed a bucket (and sprayed it) and now, while you are filming, it won’t come off !! (I can’t repeat the frustration) To the rescue the Texas Volunteers (Thank you Jude and Ike!) say hello if you see this!
