Bob Harris, Brilliant! In the mid 2000s my dad used to pour concrete for Bob and then all of bob’s students would do all the decorative stuff to it.

Finally concrete steps poured correctly.! Nobody else online even takes off their forms to finish the face. They just go back and put a coat of two of type-s, and call it a day. What they don't know is most likely, in a week or a year, the coating will crack a little, or the steps will have condensation, then chunks will come off over time, then you can never match your concrete colors. I like using liners, they save a lot of rubbing, especially with about 10-20 stairs. Good job

Using a saws all works really well to vibrate forms but great video man ima finisher with a few years experience and I'm still learning new tricks

Concrete burn is a pretty major deal. It can be majorly debilitating. So I think its worth mentioning the importance of staying very well protected when working with concrete. When he is pulling forms his hands and arms are fairly covered in concrete. Getting this stuff on your hands, for some people, can really mess you up for a few weeks or more. It's a form of Contact Dermatitis, just like Poison Oak, and with similar effects like the blisters and of course the itch. I'm not trying to be a hater, this work looks legit. Naturally they do make proper, usually expensive, vibration tools, but he's just showing people some easy ways to get it done. I dig it.

So that was impressive. Ended up looking very nice. If you wanted extremely accurate dimensions would it be enough to measure the width of the liner and add it to the width of your frame? Or does the liner compress with the weight of the concrete?

How long should you wait before pulling the forms so you don’t get any slump yet still wet enough to finish? Unfortunately I’m using bagged Sakrete so I know that may be different or vary, but I would appreciate any advice. Thank you!

maybe use a release agent or used motor oil on the pads to make it easier to remove..Also, why weren’t the pads flush with the outer form board to make it easier to trowel?

I like to bevel the bottom of the riser form to allow me to finish the entire tread. I always seem to end up with an oddball riser height like 7 11/16" do you have to buy an 8" strip and rip it down? that could get expensive.

Any issues with going straight to using the trowel on these steps instead of a float? You mentioned in the video you were using a 1ft wide square trowel. I'm a beginner and I've been reading that troweling could close up the concrete early.
