Handy man here. Love this vid! One thing that will help concrete's strength is fiberglass. They sell boxes of fiberglass to mix in concrete for construction. The fiberglass comes in lengths of an inch or two and can easily be trimmed down for the smaller projects. Also it basically disappears into the concrete

I'm an interior architect and we have prop stylists bring vases and decor items from CB2 and West Elm whenever we do our photoshoots. Your DIYs look like what my stylists pay $150/item for. They look so artisanal and unique! Very inspiring!

DUDE. EXACTLY. my mind is blown after every video he makes.

[@stefkadank-derpjr1453]

Agree

[@cherokeeschill]

Your stylist pays $150 a pop because you're paying for someone else's labor, which makes it worth it.

[@Amanda---]

No way someone would spend $150 for that concrete towel. If you're paying your stylist to do that, she is scamming you the extra $125. 💯

[@donnasalvador678]

If you want to seal your pieces, use Krylon Matt sealer or varnish… I’m an artist and usually I don’t paint anything shiny or do any sculptures shiny, so I use Krylon Spray Varnish in Clear Matt. It’s great, doesn’t change or darken the colors and it’s virtually undetectable.

[@jessicam228]

This rope bowl is one of the best DIYs I've seen. More art than DIY, so good!

You’re doing great! I have a couple suggestions for you. One, because I have made the planters before, yes with a towel, I was so excited to show everyone my new project! When I got the comment “looks like you need to wash your towels more often, I was deflated! However I did experiment a bit and I found I liked flannel, or burlap the best when making the pots. Another suggestion is put your molds on top of your washer while on spin cycle for bubble release, it works amazing! Oh also, when making pots, spray the outside of plastic bag with non stick cooking spray, tug be gone!

[@casa_refined]

Those are great tips! Thanks for sharing!

@@casa_refined you may know already but, there is a medical shaking device that shakes bubbles out. Amazon $52 -up. Dental labs also use these. Seen this on YTuber concrete tutorial

Using a towel to make the cement vases/planters, definitely gives it texture, and it looks high end. They can be used for so many things. A gorgeous vase for a tall, stunning artificial floral display. Partly guided with gold paper, (my favourite, to match my other vases). With tall wooden sticks, painted white or flat black, and partly guided in gold. The imagination goes crazy........Yep, we get it Meg🙄

This guy is definitely centuries old. This diy are so vintage style… awesome!!

[@mytokidaze]

Shut UP! You are always blowing my mind! I follow a ton of DYI channels, but you are one of a kind! Those towel vases are giving me life! ... also my favorite tray is the one you wet sanded that you're not a fan of. 😂😂 Looks gorgeous!

[@casa_refined]

Wow, that's so nice of you! In the end I think I fell in love with it! 😎😁

[@awr2217]

Great job on the cement episode. Amazing what can be inexpensively created with household objects, cement , and water. Would love to see an episode about using cement to make an above counter bowl shaped bathroom sink or a kitchen counter top.

[@karenboxenhorn1572]

I love that you're playing and getting totally spontaneous and not worrying much about if it doesn't work!

[@carolreilly8590]

Love the last one with different colors.

These look like something you’d find at high end home stores, best DIY video I’ve seen! Perfectly matches my aesthetic hehe thank you for sharing !! ☺️

I thought the last bowl was going to be a fail when you were winding the string around but your patience persisted and it turned out great. Probably my favourite!

[@lindaautry5691]

Absolutely Love the 2 white concrete pots made out of the towels. Amazing job ❤

[@XroorX]

Bowl looks like it was unearthed during an excavation at Pompeii! Awesome!

[@onetime7408]

The rope bowl is excellent

[@s_u_z_u9494]

I'm in LOVE with the tray mold. It's so simple and elegant and it must be incredibly sturdy so it's something that would last forever. I'm so glad I came across this video. Definitely subscribing and definitely going to check out the rest of your content!

[@MicheleThompson]

Love, love, love the "avocado" bowl. The trays were amazing too. Never disappointed in your content. Keep going!

[@sunelledoll9403]

A few years ago I did some DIY projects on my walls using tile cement and oxides. Having retired, I thought I would like to take cement DIY up again and I've been watching cement DIY videos for inspiration. I'm so glad I found your channel I like it the best of all! You have such awesome taste and your presentation is elegant with a honestly that makes a person feel inspired to experiment. Thank you!

[@davidrankin9874]

Elegant concrete coffee filters…I like it.

[@AdamIshak01]

I’m so happy he does modern design! Most of the DIY decor is either farmhouse or shabby chic, which isn’t bad, but if that’s not your decor style, those videos aren’t helpful much. Like I’m not going to watch a video on how to plant a rose bush if I’m trying to learn how to replace my tire.

[@Ricangelo]

Wow, that last bowl looks like some ancient artifacts.

[@danielsigursson6215]

The rope bowl turned out amazing!

I made one of those cement towel planters for my grandma a few years ago and spray painted it gold and she loves it!!

[@casa_refined]

Nice! I'm sure they looked awesome!

[@sancop]

Wow. I was really worried when you started putting black on your bowl. But the result was amazing!!! That was certainly my favorite!!

Hello Jorge, I am an Industrial Designer, and I love your work. It matches my style, which is, of course, industrial themed pieces.

Love the trays and the vintage looking rope bowl- very cool stuff! 🧡

[@rneustel388]

Wow, these are fabulous, and they look like you paid good money for them! My favorite is definitely they last bowl, but I also am craving all those trinket trays. I can’t believe all the looks you got out of that technique.

Those trays would look amazing as a gallery type art installation. Put some command hooks up and it would be stunning!🤩

[@casa_refined]

That would definitely make a statement!

[@taralm13]

I was thinking same…or maybe mount then on some wood or something….would make beautiful art!

I liked the terrazzo one the best.

[@corrinaamato8805]

In case noone said.. "5 minute crafts" youtube channel has a lot of cool cement/concrete DIYs, HOWEVER, nowhere near the refined, high-end look that is FOUND here. You promised and definitely delivered. I'd love to see you take some of their crafts and upgrade them. The cement stuffed animals would be cool for a nursery!!

[@kimberlythomas8366]

Wow, I really like all three but the rope bowl is amazing. Thank you for making this inspiring video. Your teaching technique is great. You're down to earth and make me feel very comfortable and confident that I can do this. Carry on diy king🤴.

Totally down with the avocado bowl, Jorge. Friggin' love it! Creating with concrete is so fun. So glad you're exploring further. 👌👍💖

[@casa_refined]

You're right! There's so much potential with it too!

[@cristinaruiz6242]

That last bowl looks amazing, like 2000$! Loved It!

[@ginacrusco234]

You constantly amaze me. Who would've expected the towel bowls to turn out to be so elegant and sculptural? And the coil bowl to turn out so authentically vintage looking? Among the trays the "river rock" one is my favorite.

[@nikkir7507]

The trays are my favorite. I liked the one that looked like camouflage when you put the cement in and came out looking really cool.

[@casa_refined]

I think that one might be my favorite one for sure!

[@janelleg3063]

I love the tray you called "tie-dye." With black, gray & titanium white you would maybe get a marble pattern. I see these trays after sealing as charcuterie trays (would need to wash by hand.) Love your turorials!

Wow, you're at 11k subs now? Congrats, it's all so well deserved. I love the aesthetic on your channel and your sense of humour makes it so much fun. Exhibit A; Jorge: "I don't really know what I'm doing. I'm just mixing the crap out of it". Result: a perfect decor piece that looks like you purchased it at a high-end outlet. I love that you didn't hide the mistakes and turned what you considered a 'fail' into a success. It was hard to pick a favourite but the 12 cement trays you made - each one unique in itself - was brilliant and together they could make an awesome piece of wall art. Just so talented.
