Rogue Atlas Stone Molds

Overview

Finished atlas stones are heavy, expensive, and a nightmare to ship, which is exactly the problem the Rogue Atlas Stone Molds solve. Each mold is a rugged two-piece plastic shell that bolts together into a perfect sphere, into which you pour your own concrete mix to cast a stone at home for a tiny fraction of the cost of buying one finished. The process is genuinely approachable: bolt the halves together, drop in a length of rebar or chain if you want a reinforced core, pour your mix, let it cure, then unbolt the shell and reuse it for the next stone. Because the diameter is fixed per mold size, the final weight is determined by your concrete density, so you can tune the load somewhat by choosing a heavier or lighter aggregate. Strongman athletes love casting a full ladder of progressively heavier stones for the cost of a few bags of Quikrete. The molds release cleanly when you wipe them with a release agent first, and they hold up to dozens of pours. The catch is that you supply all the mess and labor, curing takes time, and the raw cast surface is rough until you seal it with tacky or polyurethane. For anyone serious about stone loading on a budget, though, nothing beats the value.
