How to make an indoor Tabletop Fire Pit. DIY

[@jayaleman9340]

That is really Nick...... Loved it!

[@jayaleman9340]

Neat**

[@FunDadAdventures]

Thank you!!

[@rancidscooter]

Love this video. I wonder if you could stick 4 bolts around the edge to make pot stand to cook on, or at least boil some water. Might be good power outages.

[@FunDadAdventures]

That's a great day idea!

[@austinconstant7681]

Just watched your video. Love the idea. Next time try prescription bottles. They have a slight taper.

[@FunDadAdventures]

Brilliant idea. Thanks Austin.

[@FunDadAdventures]

I am planning on making a smaller version of this. I might do another video on it when I do.

[@austinconstant7681]

Started preparing everything for mine today...lol

[@FunDadAdventures]

@@austinconstant7681 Cool!. Just remember that this cement sets ultra fast. Move quickly.

[@FunDadAdventures]

@@austinconstant7681 Let me know how it turns out!

[@rich10849]

Looks just like the one I saw on KZbin several months ago.

[@ChristmindSKY]

Awesome! Def making a few for my children and family. Thank you Fun Dad

[@FunDadAdventures]

My pleasure Sam! I hope they enjoy it!!

[@rotnkiley]

i wonder if its just that size that it works with like i want a larger one maybe dinner plate size

[@FunDadAdventures]

I am not sure. I thought about making a larger one, but just havn't gotten around to it.

[@MrJmduffy]

How has the hydraulic cement held up to the heat?

[@FunDadAdventures]

It's done great! No issues.

[@joeny1980]

Mixing with ice water slows the cement to give you more working time

[@FunDadAdventures]

Great idea. I will try that next time.

[@cjschin790]

While it hardens right away, how long do you wait for it to completely dry? I'm hesitant to test it too soon.

[@FunDadAdventures]

It's pretty fast drying but I gave mine a couple days or so.

[@FunDadAdventures]

As long as you used the same hydraulic cement. 2 days should be good. Put in inside, next to an AC vent to make sure that its getting some air circulation and moisture is getting pulled out of the concrete.

[@cjschin790]

Thanks, I did use the same hydraulic cement. However because the centers got stuck on my first few molds, i now keep on twisting the centers until the cement is hardened enough to not move on it's own. And pull them out while I can. Not even vegetable oil helped with the centers and i ended up cracking a few molds trying to get them out.

[@FunDadAdventures]

@@cjschin790 yeah it was a chore for me as well. Had to use some plyers and twist that plastic until it collapsed inside of the hole and then it came out. Wasn't easy but it came out finally. Good work man. Enjoy the firepit!!

How long does a few ounces of alcohol burn?

[@FunDadAdventures]

1 oz exactly, I am not sure, but if I fill it up to the top, it burns for 30-45 minutes.

[@venugopals3887]

What is the ignition material

[@FunDadAdventures]

90 % rubbing alcohal.

[@wjthomas35]

How long did you wait before removing the core holder?

[@FunDadAdventures]

About 30 min or so. Not to long. I had to use pliers to get it out. It hardens up very fast.

[@husker16]

How is it holding up?

[@FunDadAdventures]

Its holding up amazingly. No doubt.

[@jcaro78]

I want to do this but was told cement could explode, what type of cement did you use?

[@bethanyem]

He used hydraulic cement.

[@FunDadAdventures]

Hydraulic cement from home depot. It hasn't blown up yet, but it does crack if you don't make the thickness of the wall large enough. I made two. The larger one has not cracked because the wall thickness is about 1.5 - 2 inches.

[@wellfulgoodness8211]

He said it in the video too.

[@edwardkamaka]

Try placing it on a Ceramic Tile as a Coaster.

[@FunDadAdventures]

Great idea!

[@timmayheu8129]

You did it!

[@FunDadAdventures]

Yes, Tim... yes I did. LOL

[@jameyrobson2282]

@fundadadventures, did you notice cracking in yours after 50 minutes of burning?

[@FunDadAdventures]

No cracking yet

[@stanleyosburn3296]

It might help to have the centers tapered a little to help remove the center

[@BubuH-cq6km]

if he would have followed the video he watched he would not have the cracking that's why they used oil oldest trick in the book but Hey he's a "Know it All"

[@FunDadAdventures]

LOL. That's right!

[@mindrhapsodyofficial]

Get yourself some silicone molds man!

[@hollyshaw-elliemae]

these are 95 bucks . the off brand ones are like 75 for good ones! i want one so bad

[@PhillyTom]

I agree Holly. These things are pretty cool. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@FunDadAdventures]

This is easy to make for sure. Give it avtry

[@jamesb.8015]

Bro, I want to say you really need a hobby.. but it looks like you have one.

[@FunDadAdventures]

I have 12 too many hobbies!!!

[@s4lted]

Just a safety thing here is all fire produces CO2 as byproduct. Burning alcohol at this level burns more like a candle and smokeless so you can use it inside but please don't use this in a completely unvented room both you and the fire need the oxygen to survived. ''When you burn - or combust - ethanol (C2H5OH) in air (which contains oxygen, O2), the final products obtained are carbon dioxide gas (CO2) and water (H2O).''

[@PhillyTom]

True story. Great tips. 👍👍👍👍
