Bad idea?

Let's just say you made mold for the cement.. Would it work well?

I just had some reading comprehension test at school talking about Thomas Edison's Cement houses... So I just thought of this out of curiosity...

If you do it, get some of that garage floor coating for the exterior of the box!

I would look in to the mixes that are used in concrete counter tops, you would ahve to use some kind of reinforcement (chicken wire, 1/4inch smooth rod ...) and add fiber. If you google concrete counter tops, you will find recources for premixed concrete that is high strength and will not need to be more than 1.5-2 inches thick

You can buy cement screws... Also when molding it you have all the screw holes laid out, and the pre-drilling it actually sticking something through the mold to create a hole in it.
