How to make a Concrete Compass Patio with Exposed Aggregate design!

Let's make a half circle concrete compass patio! In this video I will show you not only how I made this concrete compass patio, I will show you how I accomplished this compass design with exposed aggregate technique with a garden hose. No pressure washer today. Thank you to Rapid Set Cement for sponsoring this video and making this project possible.

11:07 I feel ya. 😂 It came out great! I'm glad you were able to find your way in the end. See what I did there?

[@MichaelBuilds]

lol 😂. Thanks brother! 👍🏻☺️

[@krickette5569]

Just think, in a hundred years someone might dig that up and think there was some sort of historic significance! How fun would that be! Great job!

[@joshlang4660]

If that's the case we're definitely moving towards the movie of Idiocracy 😅

[@richardrichards8401]

Love the fact that this is math, art, elbow grease, science and Murphy’s law all rolled into one! Looks great my man!😙

[@JackieJP]

As someone who is drawn to compass designs, I absolutely love this!! I have to admit, the multiple measurements and calculations broke my brain. 🙂 Well done sir!

[@bbarney6139]

LOVE LOVE your final message! Turned out great!

[@AdamsInvestmentsPropertiesLLC]

GREAT Job!! Looks FANTASTIK!!

[@skiprope536]

You my man are a wizard. Inspiration. Foam sill for Gasket or Tarpaper along shed to cement..this way thet move independently.

[@platinumblackservices]

Love your videos and creativity!

[@DS-fc7ok]

Looks perfect! Can't wait to see it sealed up in 30 days.

[@AyaBlue22]

I hope you'll try another one someday - maybe with plain, as well as colored, concrete to differentiate the compass points?

[@darryl5464]

Awesome! Look forward to seeing it after you seal it.

[@sapelesteve]

That turned out looking super Michael! Well executed! 👍👍🔨🔨

[@juliacamp6790]

I like that! Thanks for posting.

[@BuildingFortune]

Good thing you do experiments and show failures as well if happens . Lots to learn with facts ❤

[@marielynn5234]

Heeeyyyy Michael!!!💕😄 Dude, you lost me at "hypotenuse" 😅

[@ZenHulk]

pretty cool, as long as i can keep my wife from seeing it, you're making my back hurt every time i build something she sees on your channel.

[@SmallProjectCentral]

That looks freaking awesome! Well done!!

[@jimmyryan37]

Hey Michael love the projects.. and the music clips

[@johnzdrazil2140]

Wicked cool!!

[@joecorey3779]

Good job

[@scubatrucker6806]

Great job❤❤

[@starofgracebbq]

Would you be able to demonstrate how to do a basic set of stairs? How to prep, pour, and form it up?

[@lechatbotte.]

He has a video on that, it involved his backyard patio

[@starofgracebbq]

@@lechatbotte.those where just putting caps on stones… I’m talking pouring 5-8 steps. I have a walkway that has 7 stairs on the exit that I want to make poured because to stones used are failing.

[@noble5225]

Love the video!!! 😀😀

[@Kicknback-pz4xy]

Can you build a giant Easter island head with that stuff to go with your compass. Thanks

[@antiisocial]

This gave me some ideas. Thank you. I like this channel so much that I turn off my ad blocker before I watch. Lol

[@markb.1259]

I was surprised that you didn't put one or two pieces of rebar into that main compass pointer. I hope I'm wrong, but I see that pointer tip breaking off when people or wheelbarrow roll over it. Nice project!!

[@ginger76661]

Michael....awesome project.really neat idea.... I too, love the imperfections, add character....as for the Trolls....they just don't have any taste.....except with their mouths.😂

[@lehap9196]

Super

[@mitchholcombe9354]

For us people that don't read the fine print it would be good for you to comment that rapid set does not work in the south during summer.Instant solid product in the bucket with 5 quarts of water and the product.3 bags I have that can't be used until glorious winter.

[@Anthony-stama]

Can you please make some molded stair steps and the riser I need to make some new stairs because my old ones are wood and they rotting so I want to make them out of concrete

[@Miguel-nt8bx]

“Way to create a tripping hazard there, good sir”

[@AdamsInvestmentsPropertiesLLC]

Ha. Ha! I thought the same thing--but it looks GREAT though!! :D

[@icdtww6396]

I love your happy little accidents. If it would have remained perfect, it would have looked plastic, like it was made in a factory. This is so much better.

[@KhamusSolo]

was thinking of doing something like that on my firepit

[@scotter_dotter]

Awesome! Great design! Did you see Haxman’s video this week? He was talking about the “Michael Builds”

[@1252PFC]

why no metal reinforcement inside?

[@darrendeblance6235]

Might I suggest, let the concrete set up for a few weeks, the. Then etch the concrete with your template and a pressure washer.

[@jamesl1130]

Curious as to why you did not place the template back on the concrete pad to cut into the concrete with the grinder?

[@bicyclerider3978]

I’m thinking of creating 4foot x 4 foot “pavers” with exposed pea aggregate using the rapid set. Spreading the aggregate in the mold before pouring the mix. Think that will work?

[@Spad68]

Maybe . I don't know but if you put the template before using the coke . And do 2 thinner coats

[@EverydayPastor]

I was thinking the same thing, but the template would mess up the concrete because you have to spray while it's still wet.

[@ThorMaxx]

Looks great, however, If it was my project i would have kept the points within the half circle.. this would avoid the tripping hazard and the weak point in the concrete where the one point sticks out.

[@romeotango5597]

That compass design looks great but I would probably have offset the point so it wasn’t straight forward that this will stub the crap out of a toe/twist the hell out of an ankle lol.

[@SeriouslyStumpd]

Early Gang 😎

[@billmthacker]

Do you have a neigbor or a friend who needs to have drainge ditch in hus yard that needs to redone with a crossing bridge ? That would be fun concrete project. Seriously Rapid set should give yunlimited priduct and put you on salary. BTW Great looking slab!! its a mazing.

[@sajidrafique375]

so i can repair my whole driveway like this ???

[@dennisschickling2249]

Nice Work. Looks Great. Did you put any expansion joint between the Shed & the Step? #STAYSAFE #PHILLYPHILLY 🇺🇸

[@Kingdamien6660]

Maybe you should have sprayed just the form??? but it looks great nontheless. will do the exact same one in front of my door for sure.

[@tedcox3586]

Troll here...I was more worried about how your point is going to crack off into oblivion. Anyways, serious question, from your words, pepsi's contribution is sugar water...so we could just throw a couple scoops od sugar into some water and a sprayer and get the same result? Or is there some interaction with the acid in Pepsi also?

[@mr.grotto]

I want to know what Camera you're using so I never touch that thing in my lifetime. The lack of stabilization in your hand held talking head shots in the beginning is perfectly fine for the energy of your content and I love it, but youtube's compression on mobile devices turns it into a blurry mess unless you have your preferences set to the highest settings, which often is reset by KZbin.

[@johnmirbach2338]

😎✌🖖👍👌🤓

[@MarkThomasuneek]

WOW is this guy taking "Coke" of what! - Calm down bro.
