It seems cement (and concrete) offer a wealth of do-it-yourself projects from the small to the very large, such a walkways, even houses.
There is a difference between cement and concrete--as JDM Materials Company puts it, "Cement is to concrete as flour is to a cake." Still, as you'll see later in this post, many hobbyists use concrete, especially ones are plasticized. You can buy premixed, plasticized concrete or mix the plasticizer in yourself. Before you begin working, be aware of the safety issues and protect yourself.
Two small projects that look interesting are a minimalist cement clock by South Korean blogger Design Hobby (reference and photo found at Trendhunter). Design Hobby's site is written entirely in Korean, but you can follow the process by means of the photos, which are gorgeous.
The second project is a cement hand tealight holder by Valerie at Nikitaland. This blog's in English.
Fu-Tung Cheng designs with concrete. While showing some of his products, this video also shows the process of working with larger amounts of cement:
In YouTube's VolunteerGardener channel these two gardeners work together to show Leaf Casting (well worth watching).
