DIY Concrete Coffee Table | "Urban Decay" Table

[@SujeitChacon]

This is literally, EXACTLY, what I was looking for. Been trying to figure out how to incorporate more decay looks into a room I'm decorating.

[@allentegarden9686]

What a great project. I’m thinking about doing this and filling the void with an epoxy pour to give you the usable table space and still have the amazing design aspect! Love your videos.

[@ssa6227]

Ya I though that too. Pure concrete is rough and not practical. I would suggest a complete cover of epoxy on top so that it is smooth and you don't get broken pieces that come afterwards with concrete.

[@alexandruradu1953]

I thought of placing a sheet of glass on top.

[@TJFNixon]

Allen Tegarden are you progressing this idea? I’d like to do the same. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@blazehammer192]

That’s a smart idea Allen Tegarden! That’d be really cool to see

[@returnofthemc4196]

I was enjoying watching this video thinking some dickhead is gonna suggest using some epoxy, I was right.

[@ModernBuilds]

Those rebar bends are SO clean 👌🏼👌🏼

[@JonnyBuilds]

Thanks brother 🙏

[@heemanchalmaharaj6709]

This table arrived well packaged and on time. kzbin.infoUgkxn94T8Mu1iMnsLCMNOI9srXSsLkI4JXKW Like another reviewer advised, I pulled everything out and made sure everything was included (everything was!). I built it alone and it took me about an hour. The color is great and for the price the lift part works well. As others have mentioned, it’s not the smoothest opening/closing, but it works. The screws do show, but I plan to order white sticker covers if that bothers us too much. Really happy with this table! UPDATE: it’s been over a year since we got this coffee table and we still love it! It gets HEAVY use as our dining table, foot rest, and school desk. Over time, the opening and closing mechanism has gotten smoother. I added a new photo with the white screw cover stickers. They blend in perfectly and make it look a little cleaner. 100% recommend!!!

[@wearetemporary]

What a terrific video. The table design is lovely, but I also learned a ton of great tricks, from using insulation, to drilling and chiseling around the rebar, to using construction adhesive for affixing a leg to concrete, to using paint buckets (etc) as weights/clamps. Thank you so much for sharing your process!!

[@JonnyBuilds]

🙏🙏

[@FigmentsMade]

That is such a cool look! I could totally see a loft apartment created with a bunch of pieces like this. Makesgiving looked like such a good time!

[@JonnyBuilds]

Makesgiving was a blast!

[@Oonagh72]

It does look like a found piece of something. It is pretty sweet!!

[@JonnyBuilds]

Thanks!

[@RS-Amsterdam]

One word ....AMAZING , the idea as well as the finish.

[@thedoorguycharlie]

Great build, awesome B roll at the end...

[@llamedosr7843]

I was relieved when you got the chisel out. Looks great.

[@netherstarbuild]

this is the kind of modern art I like

[@catherinemiles8021]

Wow how awesome it turned out 🤪Thank you for sharing 🥰🤗

[@SuperMatt2112]

Love it, perfect look and strong enough to hold the coffee LOL

[@nancychong4650]

I love this table. It’s very unique.

[@aaronblackford981]

Gotta respect you for doing many creative ideas through the years, even though I only know you using wood since finding until now.

[@ChrisPage68]

An all rebar table with a glass top would look good too. Makesgiving!

[@vivibottoms3028]

Yessss Definitely!

[@FredMcIntyre]

Looks fantastic Jonny! 😍👌🏻 Awesome work! 👍🏻👊🏻

[@JonnyBuilds]

Thanks brother!

[@BruceAUlrich]

Seems like everything went just about like you expected. I know that’s not always the case with projects and concrete projects for sure. The table turned out cool!

[@reginaldtaylor9035]

Awesome table!

[@JTWoodworks]

This is a very cool design. Makesgiving looks like it was a fun event

[@ErinSpainDIY]

This turned out so cool!

[@DenAndMug]

This is soo cool! It looks like it’s from an apocalypse!!

[@OddTinkering]

That's just awesome. I'd love to have something like this. I wonder if there is a way to do a table or something else in similar style but where you could utilize the hole. E.g. you could access some storage space or something.

[@sammysdeath6657]

Wow your famous

[@19woodworks]

That looks amazing. I love the idea of adding the rebar!

[@JonnyBuilds]

Thanks

[@Sinister5.3]

That would look epic in a modern home

[@JonnyBuilds]

Agreed. Wish I could've flown home with it, but it weighs 200lbs, haha.

[@MBTHandmade]

This is absolutely sick

[@JonnyBuilds]

Thanks!

[@jamesburkett8087]

Just an idea for you what I use for a concrete vibrator is my multi tool welded a 3/4 inch nut to an old blade and got a length of threaded steel bar that screws into the nut drill and tap a small hole in the nut so the bar can’t virbrate loose while being used and cut multiple lengths as needed for different projects

[@Cryptike]

I saw this on Facebook marketplace

[@KayzChannel10000]

I'm about to make this !!! Lol thank you

[@avigetsbored]

crazy idea, imagine if you made this but with brass rebar that after the fact you polished or polished the regular rebar and painted it gold. Would be a crazy wabi sabi vibe.

[@HomeIdeasYT]

Nice job!

[@isnotistooartstudio2267]

That's so cool love it.

Great job

[@MCsCreations]

Beautiful job, dude! Really fantastic result! 😃 Just a tip... In case the metal bars start to get rusty, scrub it with steel wool and apply a thin layer of ferrox. Try with anything else first to see the result, the metal gets a black protective layer. 😉

[@ChrisPage68]

Rust will add to the look.

[@JonnyBuilds]

Good advice, but I agree with @pagemonster on this one. If it rusts it will look even better imo. Thanks for watching!

[@utego]

This is amazing, I love it

[@MadebyLaurent]

Very artistic! I really like it

[@mohammedmasum303]

This was like the Avengers assembling but for wood working/metal working on KZbin😂

[@JonnyBuilds]

😂

[@user-ag_jlr]

makesgiving! Very nice job!

[@Ihaveaboyfriend]

10/10 wow 💕 Thanks for sharing

[@maxarcher]

Very cool!

[@JesseProjects]

Makesgiving! Nice job!

[@hippoandbearmakes3416]

Very interesting design!! Makesgiving

[@TheNakedSquirrel]

Beautiful. Makesgiving!

[@nathanielcleveland2133]

If you ever do something like that again don't wait so long for the leg. It creates a cold joint. Max time you want to wait with concrete that stiff is 30min. The cold joint makes it considerably weaker to longitude stress. Love how it looks though! (I worked in concrete for awhile, just giving my 2¢)

[@Devin292]

Very cool. Oh makesgiving.

[@AdamRich1785]

Great stuff Jonny!

[@JonnyBuilds]

Thanks brother!

[@jihhlikefishing8849]

Your the Goat

[@อภินันท์ด้วงเก้า]

The wax that you apply on The concrete slab. Is it the Wax that you use to treat The leather?

[@s0uthp4w68]

that's awesome!

[@MS-bh7ok]

love it! want it!

[@patrickhayes3099]

Acetone will dissolve the styrene on the edges as well. I might have sandwiched the rebar in foam to avoid the extra work of chiseling out the rebar. same torch to heat the steel and press the foam in place. How do you adjust the leg for a crappy floor?

[@boneal4942]

Awesome! Makesgiving 🤙

[@katiemarek6741]

Looks awesome! Makesgiving!

[@JonnyBuilds]

The best part of Makesgiving was the 4 days just prior! 😉

[@GeorgiaRidgerunner]

the whole falling apart decaying thing isnt my exactly my cup of tea but i must admit that is a very neat project and i commend for thinking outside the box

[@cihankarakaya2887]

Hi, I poured myself a little table like this. I've been waiting for it to dry for 2 days, I'm going to sand it on it tomorrow, but I wanted to ask if I should put on a varnish like a yacht varnish or polish to make it look shiny in the sob floor and provide protection.

[@shammyone]

I may have missed it, but why did you wait to form the "leg" after the top had set a bit?

[@hopex9729]

Maybe adding resin where the rebar is?

[@douglashilmersson498]

What wax where you using?

[@williepirie5329]

You officially win favourite birthday video 2020🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Absolutely stunning work sir

[@almooose]

Approximately how much does this table weigh?

[@bradfarley3051]

So........ It's a perfectly good coffee table with a giant hole in it?

[@mtjplk624]

Do you need the wire for support or not?

[@chriscarnes9724]

I think it looks amazing, personally I think it would look better with some graffiti on it maybe running off the edge as if it was cut from a building

[@JonnyBuilds]

Graffiti was considered, but I left it off so I didn't over complicate the build. That said I think if would be super cool painted up by a true graffiti artist.

[@CiCis_Mom]

You could also patina the exposed rebar to make it look rusted...

[@modustrial]

Makesgiving!

[@JonnyBuilds]

Thanks for the help on this one!

[@อรัญชัย-ฝ1ต]

According to your clip, how thick is the concrete top?

[@sammysdeath6657]

1:32 haha he labeled the ant

[@jasonmickley4835]

You had a Duluth sponsorship recently. Did they not have some full length jeans to replace those daisy dukes?

[@JonnyBuilds]

But then you'll have no reason to watch!

[@Beat.Wonderful]

Wow, nice work, how much do you think this coffee table weighs?

[@Aardrijk1]

Pretty epic! Just be careful where you set your coffee down.

[@JonnyBuilds]

The "spilled" coffee table

[@danielscheibe8694]

dang! very nice but i somehow thought you're going fill the void with some clear epoxy :)

[@kadevillanueva6313]

How much did it weigh ?

[@patrickhayes3099]

I wish you cut the foam somewhere you could vacuum up the waste..... those bits will eventually become part of the pacific garbage patch, no?

[@bellasdad305]

You should do that in 1 pour. You will 100% get a crack where they are joined

[@blazehammer192]

Looks nice. However I think I would’ve roughed up the top and edges to complete the post apocalyptic look to it. Idk just doesn’t seem finished... don’t get me wrong. It’s a stunning coffee table it truly is. That’s just my two cents is all.

[@nvrussov2050]

Очень круто )

[@Fluffenpuffen]

Pour clear epoxy to that hole and its awsome even more

[@ShadowBeast]

Put in epoxy!!

[@solid303]

Makesgiving 👍

[@udorechner6846]

Nice project but due to the opening you lost some space on the table to put thinks on. Why no closing the openings with cristal clear resin. So the character of the table would be preserved and i think it must be awesom to see a mug floating over the opening... Sorry Mr. Tegarden said it before..

[@terretulsiak]

Or find a chunk of sidewalk they are landfilling and repurpose it...

[@myrilap]

there is a big hole in the table... i propose you to reforme a litle bit and add a transparant epoxy

[@ParvaizRaja]

Did I read and hear "waterfall" somewhere?

[@도와농원]

Use the soil, and you won't have to tear down the middle.

[@moggis71]

Cool. But why don't you just double up the styrofoam with the rebars between...? And viola!!! Almost no concrete to remove....

[@Echo-dw2qi]

i wouldve filled the void with clear resin to give it the usability back tbh

[@evelyn_r]

It would have even cooler if the corner had the cement curve over instead of the sharp right angle, but how does someone go about doing it? 🤔

[@ZoomStranger]

you put the curve in the formwork

[@anupamrathore224]

Wow awesome work but don't put that table at any architect's office😂

[@welovebecausehefirstlovedu6683]

Please fill epoxy in the blank portion .....it's look like good

[@MarkH10]

DUDE, take it easy with that jackhammer. Please don't damage the 'damaged' themed concrete!!!

[@Exitium12]

Really love all the amazing woodworking and concreate building videos from the states, but i keep seeing people cutting up all sorts of foam and platic outdoor with no means to collect all those small pieces flying around :( nice build though.

[@jamesmhall]

I am not sure which I am more worried for; the floors or the shins.

[@pengladiator3580]

1:30 HE TAGGED THE ANT WTF

[@LBJHJP50]

Fill it with epoxy!

[@strykervalkyrion]

Oof. I cringed at the big sds bit going through concrete with rebar. That's an expensive bit to replace. Also now you have to get a 3d printing pen to "fix" the hole

[@JC-XL]

I thought he'd pour resin to cover the hole and then polish it
