[@marcianorris5378]

I’m a 67 yr. old widow. All I do I have done by myself. I thank you for every video. Thank you.

[@pauldow1648]

It's important to be smoking while you are being careful.

[@glennsantoyo559]

The smoke slow you down for extra precaution

[@heut4384]

you know, the best thing I like about your video that you showed me how to fix it when I screwed up. lol. Most people don't show us at all. Now I know. Thank you.

[@arobyte]

Dropping the board was comedy gold!.. and the response lol. Great to see you work, inspiring!

[@PetB50]

OMG. 13 minutes I am mesmerized watching some guy finish a concrete step. The stumble...the patience, the technique...and OH the cigarette..it had it all. I'm on the edge of my seat....I gotta get a life!

[@skutsenkow]

Dropping the board into your finished area and fixing your mistakes. Real practical advise. They video was made for me lol

[@dylanjohnson2327]

"gently remove it" *immediately drops it* LMAO

[@jakehanson216]

Been there lol

[@joshuamcnew1200]

I love doing concrete. So satisfying to watch, good job dooooods

[@matthewbowering7690]

How long did you wait before taking off the face board. Any chance you oiled the wood first.

[@gsh319]

Nice work man,... a regular working guy video GREAT! We've all dropped the board before. Some of us even hit the middle of the fresh work with it.!

[@THECARKUS]

Am i the only one who barked with laughter when he dropped the board? Happens to us all mate :-)

[@nicb.1411]

I don't bark because I'm a human.

[@dojahmastah7156]

Things happen. No need to cry over spilled concrete. Jeffs just owes everyone a case of beer now lol Heineken for me jeff thanks you're the man brother!

[@danielguy2156]

You sir, are a true artisan... I just did concrete at my house and it looks every bit a DIY homeowner Frankenstein job, Not the worst I've ever seen or done, but certainly nothing like your skillset... props to you sir, it takes great skill and pride in your work... great job!

[@maxxautomotive]

Thank you

[@patriot1303]

Dropping the board in it is something I would’ve done lol - you actually made your video better doing that haha

[@vivekpnair1937]

Patriot1 I

[@ccb3313]

100% agree! You can tell in most videos they chop out all the bits that dont go to plan so it looks like they got it pefrect first time. This shows the real side of working on the tools mistakes are made but with skill and experience you can right any wrong!

[@jakepacheco7941]

No cover or top tool?

[@Beevreeter]

Awesome care and craftsmanship - a pleasure to watch

[@philipjohnson2608]

Good day guys thanks for your time and video enjoyed watching. Good professional job . 👍

[@gabrielvergara5021]

"And we're gonna show you how to patch, a concrete he just finished" hahaha

[@curtisowens3808]

Tell Jeff that I think he's doing a fine job!

[@venetara1]

Hello I am Luis ! from Venezuela ! I like your videos! I would like to know the exact quantities to make the concrete mix please?

[@pingpong9656]

What is the best test on when you can remove the riser form? What indicator are you looking for?

[@markcrawford8876]

Nuthin like a couple craftsman planing a job, and working a plan. Nice job

[@chevyda8070]

Thanks for the video 👍 nice job 👍

[@rhyslenne3350]

Good video. Cheers from australia.

[@phonequang3]

Like the paint brush! Never thought of that!

[@vessmachineen193]

i like the way you are doing your job how do you produce your concrete?

[@imsobreit]

Looks great!

[@neatpleats11]

Thanks for the detailed video.

[@arfurfoxhaike]

A fine job young feller me lad !

[@kingscottage]

Nice attention to detail. Accidents happen all the time, great that the continued filming shows exactly how to deal with such an incident. There are quite a few "Pathetic" comments (as usual) but this is a craftsman in action. Great job guys.

[@maxxautomotive]

Thank you

[@Majorfarter]

He’s a really good finisher

[@ramvan2218]

Hello! which components do you use? what are the proportions? thank you

[@philg7889]

Fine work. Very professional...

[@andidhromi]

Best instructions. 👍

[@stringsgb8833]

Laughed so much when he dropped the board 😂

[@lewisclark5694]

Good job!

[@electricamir248]

[@gabrielgonzales8163]

[@davidhill6438]

Nice job when can you swing by and do mystair repair?

[@chancecarlton8403]

My back would be screaming working that far out. Jeff does good work.

[@maxxautomotive]

Thank you

[@geoffreydavies6570]

Hello, you made hard work of that I almost fell to sleep "dear John".

[@thomasjoseph9224]

I can tell you don’t live in Houston. This is true pride in your work. Nice job.

[@arguswil]

You dont have to rush doing concrete. Some people enjoy the trade and really get into finishing. Love this .

[@maxxautomotive]

Thank you

[@alforliniteaching5670]

Amazing work.:-) :-) :-)

[@mmack3286]

Sliding in winter time or can you put texture for grip?

[@josefranciscoramirezsolart9879]

73 gracias por el video es muy bueno bendiciones.desde Quito Ecuador,Sur America.

[@AntonioCesareMatteo]

Nice Job..... Can you do a video on how to make Sicilian concrete shoes? I know a lot of democrats that you could use a good pair.

[@peterkohlrusz9763]

nice work man

[@dozers10]

Jeff has talent.

[@phonequang3]

Touch the top. Should feel fairly firm . Leaving small indentations with the finger tips. Many variables come in to play. Temperature, ground moisture, wind, sun, da mix. Keep your eye on it.

[@sodaPapa7176]

This, this is art

[@adelfovazquez6540]

Thanks for the vídeo,nice job...

[@gurvirbhinder1743]

More concrete videos please. The young generation of trades people need your mentorship

[@user-rh5uu1td7f]

I like to 45 the bottom of the form on my steps. Then you can get your mag under the form helps to keep that divet when you pull your form from the face

[@soccerkills]

Great job and honest work

[@maxxautomotive]

Thank you

[@michaelmangione8382]

Real life. Love it.

[@tommastersen4328]

working with cleaner tools may assist, the mag float is covered in concrete slurry dried for years

[@nicholascasatelli6949]

Broken in and worn down used mags are better for finishing concrete. New crisp floats suck a fat one, they gouge at first till they're broken in...Hence it gets relegated to placing only....and all that hard crap can be scraped off and cleaned. When it's 90+ out and your knee deep there's no time for it.

[@nightcoder5k]

Good job.

[@everythingbutthekitchensin951]

Nice intro.. I was dead 😭💀💀

[@grahambird3112]

Because the smoke from his cigarrette burned his eyes !

[@ralphfurley404]

Shoulda been vaping then he'd of stepped in it not seeing the sidewalk at all😅😅

[@user-ne6gm8zq2k]

Ignore all the haters ! Nice video .

[@concreteninja]

Nice one guys 👊🇦🇺

[@rafb145]

guys is getting tons of shit for internet dyi masters - im glad he did everything slow and 10 times over, when you're tired and it's the end of the projects you don't want to rush the finish. great video - quite smoking :)

[@jannisgeisler1506]

Did you curve the trowel for the edges by yourself ?

[@adrianolima2308]

beautiful work

[@Russer_Mir]

Super!!!

[@ralpheramsey4120]

Gla d you didnt cut out the accident in the beginning. T'was the most exciting part for me..

[@sandeepdhaliwal6509]

Salute hard work

[@ratballs007]

Looks pretty decent 👍

[@alfredochavez9555]

Very good job

[@johnkritikos7450]

The guy who is finishing, he is really good. Good job. Difficult job make it look easy.

[@NITWING]

[@constructiontechnologycamb8519]

做工挺精细的！

[@bololo2000]

isn't this smooth finish too slippery when wet? Do you use brushed finish as well?

[@donreinaldo2007]

Tha hell..i just watched all the season of game of thrones and he still brushing over n over

[@Kushert]

Oh shit....A paint brush finish. Impressive

[@ivantodorov2674]

nice work...

[@maxxautomotive]

Ivan Todorov Thank you

[@timstoltzfus8408]

How do you determine a comortable rise/run for a sidewalk with steps in it? I have one I want to do and want to make sure that the steps are a comfortable distance apart, and the rise is not too high or low. overall the rise is 24-28" over 120" of run. I don't want to make the steps an awkward distance between them so that I can't walk comfortably down them.

[@maxxautomotive]

Tim Stoltzfus we are in lincoln ne. City code says all steps must be equal. Rise and tread. If it was my job i would do 2 steps at 7inch tall and 12inch tread each. then a 72inch landing then 2 more steps. Or have no landing. But 7inch steps feel good when walking

[@spokenwright2505]

....and we’re gonna show you how to patch.......clutch with the save my man 😂🤣😂🤣

[@prnothall9302]

this is how I would do it, and I've never worked with concrete before. Surely a tradesman would be quicker, more efficient etc..

[@scout1333]

I died when he dropped the board, definitely something I'd do

[@rafalmarciniuk5815]

👌🏻 nice

[@mario378378]

nice... I start like this in 28 years ago

[@nycfcistrash2097]

Still waiting for the “pouring” part

[@SteSMEST]

Good job

[@mijalic1]

Great video. Thank you for your time and effort to make it and share it with the world. Greetings from Croatia.

[@anjwicks]

excellent

[@sharpshooter012345]

Fix one thing only to ruin it again twice. Counterproductive imo.

[@nicholascasatelli6949]

Finally Somebody with sense sees it.....

[@Galaxy.865]

Hard job but looks very nice

[@maxxautomotive]

bery krraba Thank you

[@vessmachineen193]

would you like to have your own concrete batching plant?

[@bpd8426]

KZbin is the best university on the planet and it's free.

[@ant9534]

I've learnt how to drop a baton of wood onto wet cement !!!

[@williebateman3613]

Nice 👍🏾

[@dustintedrow8069]

Little tip use your mag to finish it. Dont use your finish trowel for a brush finish it will come out the same but years later it will hold a better face little something something not to many guys know

[@SANGREAZULCREMA7]

Why do you do that with the paint brush for?

[@brianmorton25]

Hey man I have to give you a lot of credit man I don't see too many people on KZbin that know what they're doing what concrete and I'm a cement finishing myself and you do good work bro. Also I find it kind of funny there's a couple guys that used to use it on my crew well not my crew but the company I work for a couple of the guys use them the pool trowels only an idiot would finish with a pool trowel that means that they cannot run a trowel the right way another words they can't finish concrete anyways man great job

[@maxxautomotive]

Brian Morton Thank you sir

[@jeblowme2nite]

Brian Morton I use pool trowels all the time, been finishing my whole life, they have a place

[@brianmorton25]

I like pool trowels that good for doing pools and some flat work but a real finisher uses a real trial with square edges

[@RRC1]

Ive got a pool trowel thats rounded on one end & square on the other end. The other dude is right,they have their place.

[@rebel1333frank]

Is this possible to do on stairs?

[@dartarkana4279]

Dang it, hate it when that happens😂

[@nnoffuture]

This shit is hilarious good work

[@deejay3644]

one concrete saw one sponge ---- problem solved and be sitting in a tavern 2 hours before this guy lol

[@kareemmathurin7245]

😂😂

[@EGGINFOOLS]

How long do you have to wait to remove the form after you pour?

[@foreignbeggar3783]

EGGINFOOLS it honestly depends on how well the concrete is setting up. the quicker it sets up (gets hard) the quicker you can pull forms off and rub the face of a step, or a curb, or whatever you’re rubbing like that.
