How to screed and finish concrete

[@WhiteHandler]

I could watch this all day.

[@puccini67]

You guys work extremely hard for your money, thanks for sharing, I've learnt a lot from this video, great work!

[@riverdogsmodernlife9843]

What an absolute beast of a man

[@nelod9863]

Looks like a 6 bag 4k Psi mix with 4"slump mix. Good quality, good screeding work.

[@seangreene64]

Jesus that concrete is dry. Good job 👍 mate.

[@concreteninja]

Voodoo one yes 😂😉

[@andrewbell7047]

Excellent video with lots of detail screeding. Thanks Ninja!

[@petermcgreevy6386]

[@dazzadazza5255]

Best video you have got mate 👌 shows how hard the job really is

[@crazydriverswithmoondog2458]

Great work ninja! It looks like backbreaking work from here in Gisborne Victoria. That's coming from a GP his job is not very physical. Also quit those smokes yet?

[@equalandthesame9110]

Very good, thanks for the tips. Thanks Christine Yes you definitely working hard but team and timing and experience shine. The guys spreading do great getting it close. Thank you all! RIP to your brother

[@jatinkumar4252]

Great job Concrete Ninja...#...Respect I wish could work with you guys some day .... 😍

[@davem3789]

You guys do good work.

[@JCT747]

Long videos make me feel a lot more sorry for you screeding -good job!

[@concreteninja]

TEMBYJNR2002 that was the whole idea 😂😂😉

[@Yak52able]

I've learned a lot from watching your videos. Thanks for taking the time to make them. One question: I see some guys using vibrating power screeds. What do you think about using a power screed on jobs like this one?

[@cherieparker5390]

Hi mate a lot of guys lay the vibrator in 4 spots where your raking ,it seems to help the screeding and good for the concrete to ,but i know nothing about concrete im a chippy thanks for videos

[@Chrisplumbgas]

Watch the power line with those long handles. Safety first!😊

[@greenmantis4002]

Thank you learnt a lot

[@concreter6832]

Instead of putting a x on your pad put a tick on it for right lol. Good job.

[@joshuaramsay2659]

Did you play footy bro, your a beast.

[@danwalters4865]

I’m going to get me one of those orange hats so I can hold the shooting stick.

[@wojtekwroblewski1553]

what kind of concrete do you use? own recipe. concreted in Sweden and our concrete is completely different👎

[@nosretep1960]

We use 20*5" round tip trowels in Orygun, different tip than yours. ALWAYS as flat as you can.

[@FredD63]

Question….. Why such a dry mix ? Isn’t concrete stronger if you have a wetter mix ? Keep up the great work and great videos …

[@worldtraveler8571]

I like how your screeds have handles. Do they come like that or do you make them?

[@almaz2798]

GOOD JOB

[@Esuper1]

Yeah baby! That is back-busting work right there. Hopefully they save a few pennies and buy themselves some better tools that wont bust their backs like that.

[@danwalters4865]

You guys do good work?

[@anotherworld5612]

The straight edge has two faces to it when your pulling towards yourself don’t use the back edge if you watch careful especially in the garage your shredding on an angle , probably getting tired and understandable but you need to keep the screed flatter , just an observation from an old con creature

[@Jwaid111]

What are you using to set your grade where you’re screeding? Grade pins then pulling them? I never saw how you were getting your lines between, maybe I missed it.

[@concreter6832]

Aussie secret

[@michaelcoleman280]

Great job nice flat floor you can come work for me anytime in arizona

[@TimKollat]

Im in AZ. All the Mexicans here pour slabs slopping wet. They would never do it correctly like in this vid with a good stiff slump

[@grantweldon3751]

Good stuff, just a query could you show us the shutters ( metal formwork) and how they are fixed into position prior to pour, and how do you know how much slurry is under the flat portion of the form work?

[@concreteninja]

Hey mate thanks for watching and there is a few videos on my channel about the shutters just just gotta find them

[@danwalters4865]

Where ever that guy puts those X you’re going to be low because you will be riding high in between the X’s have him check it in the middle sometime.

[@lolnitrous1179]

We don't do it like that in Arizona

[@didgejan]

Mate, when it's this dry can't you just spray a bit of water on it?

[@concreteninja]

DIdgejan no

[@JeffMTX]

29:30 they sneaked a little

[@punjabihitsongs9959]

Which side of screed you guys use? Thanks

[@concreteninja]

Punjabi Hit Songs use The sharp edge towards you

[@punjabihitsongs9959]

Concrete ninja appreciate it👍🏻

[@bransinanderson]

Bending over all day like that looks painful. There has to be a solution to this. No concrete worker should be bending over like this all day every day.

[@66margood]

cant understand how no one has commented about the way christine eats bananas, never seen it done that way 😂

[@outtatime4512]

In America we have this thing called a vibrascreed...maybe you've heard of it. 😜 Sorry to hear about your brother...

[@pacovillatoro626]

The guy in shorts jajaja

[@anthonysamspano111]

well done boys !!!!!

[@tereouruamo3666]

Not bad for an aussie lol...Chur for the learn bro...mean vids

Big pour for a Friday, man you earn't your money today with that dry concrete!!

[@VgniK88]

Backs of steel brotha

[@danyar3500]

how many this work

[@SeanX168]

U guys use steel formwork ?

[@ethanrussell8041]

Hey mate starting my first day as a concreter on monday👍 any tips?

[@stickyricky345]

make sure you know what your job is. and kill it. be willing to learn. figure out who the pros are and watch them closely, and do exactly what you learn from them

[@concreteninja]

Just be definitely willing to listen and you will learn and try your best that’s all you can do

[@nelod9863]

Dont pour any concrete if there is any amount of rain in the forecast 😀 and never pour concrete dryier than 4" slump

[@JeffMTX]

copy the good ones! oh.... and no talk, just listen

[@jemfly1062]

Great job, Ninja. Thanks to Christine for filming so well. That dry mud looked like hard yakka but came up perfectly. The longer video was brilliant, especially to demonstrate your smooth style and efficiency. I still have a chuckle when I hear our cousins over the pond saying we take too long screeding in Oz ... then they show how they use a piece of timber and spend forever and a day trying to take the waves out with bullfloats and on slider boards and various gadgets and whatnot. They can't seem to see that two (or three) blokes on 10 foot screeds are faster and more accurate than two fellows dragging a piece of 16 foot timber around ... Hats off to your rakers too. 👍👌👊🎯

[@concreteninja]

jem fly hey mate thanks for watching and you are definitely right they do not understand and now maybe they will live videos like this make sure to share it to all those American pages 😉👊 thanks for watching my

[@noahlewis9296]

Put at least 50 in that 😁

[@VgniK88]

Bro some big muscles u got there lol

[@z0n4dk40z]

You really work like this ... Damn brother, they are killing themselves 🤦🏽‍♂🤦🏽‍♂ Why not use a 12, 14 or 16 foot screed and finish faster?🤔

[@TimKollat]

running a 16' screed one man on a 4" slump mix? Nah

[@jeffreyloftus3617]

I asked the other day but you may have missed my question is there any reason why you don't use a pan to bring up the fat instead of polishing the finish straight away , cheers.

[@concreteninja]

jeffrey loftus We do not have to use a pan when we screed it nice and flat

[@gerardhaughey1594]

Hard ship for no reason the concrete is to dry

[@concreteninja]

Gerard Haughey 🤷‍♂️

[@TimKollat]

theyll have a good strong slab this way.

[@danwalters4865]

@@TimKollat it doesn’t have to be strong it just take 1700 psi to hold up a house and they’re probably using 3500 to 4000 psi.

[@concreter6832]

Needs water, wet it up.

[@lolnitrous1179]

You dudes work way too hard

[@danwalters4865]

Yes you can get it flatter pouring dry concrete but why do you need it that flat.? Even as flat as your getting it and just going out and back once with the bull float if it rains on that slab the water will pond in a place or 2 maybe 3 or 4 places. Pour it wetter use 2 guys on a 16 foot screed, run the bull float out and back 2 or 3 times and get rid of that expensive concrete pump 🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌

[@optivitallc3271]

Boss man goes way to far unecessary. Like its an art project. Bossman not Ninja.
