How are the castles made?
Sand & water are mixed in a 5-gallon bucket. Then I scoop up a handful of sand & let out the right amount of water while molding different forms by hand & placing them on the mound. I dont use standard sculpting tools. I only use my hands to make all the intricate details & a flat stick to make stairs & pyramids. No carving tools are used & that makes the sculptures look more like ancient ruins. Its a totally different vibe than a carved-out castle. How long do the sandcastles last?If left untouched my record is 3 months. It can handle moderate wind & rain. A torrential rainstorm will destroy most of the detail & leave only silhouetted towers.
