DIY Custom Concrete Stepping Stones.

[@pharpester]

Thanks for showing your techniques and talking us novices through your process. I appreciate your diy forward teaching style.

[@OdellCompleteConcrete]

You are so welcome!

[@wcsd9577]

I like this because this is something you could do in your spare time, just do a couple at a time and before you know it you'll have made a bunch of them. That and it would be a fun project the kids could get involved with also.

[@OdellCompleteConcrete]

I concur, a fun art project

[@Components-qu3zs]

Watching these videos has a very positive relaxing effect on me. I will make a few of these slabs some day! 😂

[@OdellCompleteConcrete]

Right on GL

[@vantezz]

Glow stones! How long have I been waiting for this video! Thank you! At night, these stepping stones look different

[@OdellCompleteConcrete]

I'll check it out tonight

[@rusosure7]

I spent a year in education. When I was done, I had finished kindergarten. Any competency in one day cannot be expected, after all, it takes the best professionals many years to become top notch.

[@OdellCompleteConcrete]

I concur TY

[@alphaomega8373]

Mr. Odell, you know good and well, you're the chief chef.

[@OdellCompleteConcrete]

The Chef can really cook

[@alphaomega8373]

@@OdellCompleteConcrete The best i've seen and thank you for taking time to share/archive your great works! Very relaxing to watch.

It's true..desert folk enjoy surf music..all stoked..

[@OdellCompleteConcrete]

Awesome

[@JonnyDIY]

Great job David 👍 And definitely "The Chef" for Eric. Chefs always bring the butter to the top 😁🤙

[@OdellCompleteConcrete]

The Chef was really cooking

[@bjones8354]

They look great! Thumbs up to Eric! I really like the way you built the wood frame. Very simple and easy pettern.

[@OdellCompleteConcrete]

Thank you very much!

[@9DmgDone]

glad I found this channel because I've learned tons thus far💯

[@OdellCompleteConcrete]

Welcome aboard!

[@johnfry9010]

Eric is doing well but he has an excellent instructor !

[@OdellCompleteConcrete]

The Chef is coming along nicely, and if all else fails I'll get a grill going onsite.

[@warrenzebon3849]

True artwork. Looks like Eric got the rock patting technique down considering how consistent all of the stepping stones were after the exposure rinse. Really enjoy your videos. Your inspiring me to try some of these my self around the home. Watched to the end and wanted to see them glow in the dark.

[@OdellCompleteConcrete]

Im going outside right now to get some photos I can share.

[@jonathane9403]

Eric caught on quickly! Great teacher might have a little to do with it. Thanks to both of you!

[@OdellCompleteConcrete]

Our pleasure!

How bright do they actually glow in the dark? Is it noticeable?

[@OdellCompleteConcrete]

I'll check it out tonight and take few pics

[@jbecerra147]

Eric is a cook until he masters his craft and becomes a chef 😂

[@OdellCompleteConcrete]

I concur

[@gregeconomeier1476]

Looks like you've done this before. Looks nice.

[@OdellCompleteConcrete]

Yes, very similar

Sick ass work sir😮😮

[@LW12345]

how long did you wait to take off the frame to where the stones stayed in their shape? also, I want to make numerous stones like these, various shapes and sizes and make a walkway with them. can i "connect" them with concrete, will it all "stick" together and not crack apart? I was thinking of this: frame the walkway, pour an inch or so of cement, place the decorated stepping stones on top of the poured concrete, fill in the gaps and sides with cement. Will this work?

We are very interested to see these slabs in the dark please

The Chef was cooking

[@lewisjohnson2732]

@@OdellCompleteConcrete he done a great job on his first time doing concrete

[@LW12345]

could a metal tool work as well as the wood tool?

[@mattpascualjr.2710]

I’m going to try this for sure. Just one question. Do I need to put in some kind of reinforcement in the forms? Like wire or rebar.

[@OdellCompleteConcrete]

No steel needed

[@RealWendys]

I say he is a chef

[@OdellCompleteConcrete]

Stayed tuned for more of The Chef

Sweet 👍

[@OdellCompleteConcrete]

Thanks 👍

[@dskains]

Dave, I had a guy put sealer over a Saltillo patio before the grout dried and it smeared with the sealer. Is there a way to remove the sealer so the area can be cleaned and re-sealed??

[@dskains]

@@OdellCompleteConcrete thanks!!

[@MrKotobek]

Mr. Odell, impressive work. Tell me how long after inlaying stones do you use water wash?

[@OdellCompleteConcrete]

As soon as you can't trowel it anymore.

[@saulgoodman2018]

Smoothing concrete is like buttering a piece of bread.

[@OdellCompleteConcrete]

Yes

Show us what the glow stones look like in the dark

[@OdellCompleteConcrete]

Ok I'll post it in the community tab

[@gearow13]

To be honest with you, Eric needs more vibration at the wrist and he needs to work it out a little bit more so a little bit more practice will do the trick. But besides the point... you guys rocked it.

[@OdellCompleteConcrete]

I concur TY

[@Alkash.Ibragim]

Hello. How long does it take to wash off the concrete surface?

[@OdellCompleteConcrete]

20 minutes for all 8

yes same here, was hoping to see how they glow in the dark.

😥 You didn't show the Glow in the dark stones!

[@OdellCompleteConcrete]

I see it it every night. But hard to capture on camera

[@konakaffe]

The chef tastes the food as he prepares it to make sure of quality, but the cook skips this step because he is unconcerned with how it turned out.
