The one on the right was my first attempt. The one on the left is the last one I completed. I have a form I made out of wood and pour straight portland cement into. I put a piece of rebar in the middle and leave another sticking out of the bottom so they can stick into the ground. The left one from the last picture in mid-cut. I use a 4 inch angle grinder to cut out the details. They are only cut on the front side, but soon I hope to expand that to all sides. This is the second one I did. It has about 5 hours worth of grinding in it. You can see the cut marks in the face more in the picture than in person, but I would have liked to find a way to smooth it out some more.
