Dude, using your reciprocating saw as a concrete vibrator is brilliant

[@DIYCreators]

It actually worked out well! Had I used it longer, it would have even better results.

[@carterharrington]

hell yeah taking that to the shop tomorrow

[@bigmacdaddy1234]

@@chollyappleseed1969 What is the alternative is you want a bench exactly like that?

[@atmor0zini195]

You are a perfectionist, which is great, cause it make you a hell of professional. I’m glad I found you channel. Very good job buddy, definitely keep it up!

[@ErsagunO]

If your are looking a different & special design for your garden, please take a look for this! amzn.to/3favQ97

[@BobbyDukeArts]

That's a great idea! Beautiful and elegant design.

[@DIYCreators]

Thanks, Bobby!

[@phnxrisen1]

Great Video! I have several years experience as a commercial carpenter and have built many forms in my life. I would like to suggest that you use some spray cooking oil on your forms to keep the concrete from sticking.

[@DIYCreators]

Thank you. I actually used mold remover. I noticed oil usually stain the concrete in my experience.

[@tomruth9487]

Nice video. You can also use paste wax for a form release with melamine.

[@Scubadog_]

That tape you put on the corners to seal them looked so satisfying

[@DIYCreators]

Haha kinda felt the same way when I was editing.

[@laurants]

Honestly I am not that into your style but I hand it to you for being very detailed. You seem like a great teacher. Good job bro. I’ll keep watchin’

[@crystalsoulslayer]

Very nice. The wood and concrete are a great combination, especially for the outdoors. The spacing between the top pieces makes it look like they're floating, which is pretty cool. Thanks for sharing this!

[@DIYCreators]

Thank you. I'm digging the look with the blend.

[@obxlife6158]

Sweet bench, respect your attention to detail as well, always appreciate a carpenter who cares. Nice job

[@jamesgame8573]

Excellent video and skills, just the right pace and no gratuitous close ups of cutting in slow mo etc., really enjoying your work

[@ManCrafting]

NIce Build Glen! I am still reluctant to jump into the concrete build arena, but some of the builds people are doing sure make it tempting. Including this one.

[@DIYCreators]

Thanks, Chad! Concrete is inexpensive if you screw it up just start over. Just jump in.

[@rippermcguinn]

Nice build, and I like the idea of using the reciprocating saw to vibrate out the air - more aggressive than the palm sander that I have used.

[@Prescriptiondiy]

Seems like you've really ramped up your production. Loved the look and feel of this video. Excited to see where your channel goes from here.

[@DIYCreators]

I still have the same gear and camera I just learned a few more tips & tricks :). I am excited as well I have no clue, just hope to be ready.

Glen, thanks for another awesome how-to video! Love how talented you are at creating so many different things with such nice details. Keep up the good work and God bless you.

[@StevesTrains]

Love the modern look of the concrete and wood together. It would be cool to make a bench like that and maybe a pair of chairs in the same style.

[@DIYCreators]

Thank you, mmm I could totally see some chairs happening :).

[@neatoelectro3687]

Once again you knock it out of the park! Great job Glen! Love seeing what you come up with! Also can't wait for you to hit one million subs!

[@makingcrapwithscrap5701]

another excellent build. Good job Glenn. Let us know about the Wranglers. Glad folks are noticing you. Would love to support them.

[@Tahnvalas]

You, sir, create the best looking projects. Always superb looking and pretty easy to build! Keep 'em comin'!

[@DIYCreators]

Thank you :).

[@choppes]

Good looking bench bro. Probably will make one like this but will use protruding rebar as dowels for easier removal

[@modustrial]

It looks like you used latex caulk? The significant chip out you got at the edges is likely a result of this. Concrete will stick to latex caulk. You need to be using 100% silicon if you want clean edges. Nice looking bench either way.

[@DIYCreators]

Ah, got it thanks for the tip. It didn't occur to me at all :). Thank you.

[@modustrial]

I did the same thing on my first concrete table top, and learned the hard way :)

[@DIYCreators]

I know now. So next week video will have to caulk as well, did them the same time. So don't think i'm hard hear when you see me using caulking in the video. lol

[@modustrial]

Ha, I hear ya on the video lag. I have two videos in production for builds that were finished months ago....

[@DIYCreators]

I just sub your channel. I was looking to do a light similar to one on your channel sure I could learn a thing or two. I'll check it out later!

Hey Wyatt, I feel so bad I haven't been able to grant your request yet. You have been asking for almost a year now. I haven't forgotten. The problem is I work a full-time job still so my time is limited and I would have to go looking for one somewhere.

HOLD UP, you live in Florida and it doesn't rain much? Are you talking about the same Florida that's a part of the United States? Because where I live in South Florida it rains more than not. Bench looks amazing though! Really love the look of concrete and wood complementing each-other.

[@gussi123]

Kyle Anderson yeah. I was trippin off that one...

[@videosunrelated1883]

I had a hard giggle myself...

[@tonybp965]

Kyle Anderson depends on the season man. You know after November, it easy's up a bit until March. Trying to give my man Glen a break here...lol. But you guys are right, it rains just about everyday especially during hurricane season. I live by universal studios and from like, 3 to 6, it comes down man.

The way you make a design that is so sleek and simple still unique and beautiful is amazing...I find most modern designers a bit boring and predictable, too much like ikea, but yours always have something interesting and cool that makes them look like they came from a store I'd be too poor to window shop in!

[@rksmith5273]

Nice addition to the backyard. I would recommend tying your rebar then placing rebar chair/stands that center the rebar in your concrete. Very solid looking piece. Glad I found your channel.

[@HeinzSchumacher]

Two identical Boxes? You can use one Box twice...

[@AJ-ew7kr]

Lol so a two week wait?

[@DanteYewToob]

It's safer to make two, because concrete is finicky and as you saw, he had to destroy parts of the mold.. then trying to put it back together and just replace those parts can result in a wonky crooked second cast, because no matter how good you try to seal it, the melamine will absorb water in the middle particle layer and warp a bit. If you look at nearly any concrete mold after being used it looks a bit beat up and crooked. So there is a good reason to make two, especially considering how cheap melamine is and you can usually get multiple molds out of a single large sheet. There is just no real reason not to make two, you get safer, better results, save time, and it probably wont cost anything extra in time or money if you build them concurrently. So yeah... two boxes. Best case scenario with one box, is you have to wait twice as long, which is a big deal when you're considering dealing with time spans of days or weeks.. that's time and space you can't use. Also, leaving concrete around for that long risks accidentally ruining it, bumping, dropping something on it, animals... etc. Better to get them done as fast as possible, limit the amount of time you have wet concrete around. Also, with only one box, if something does happen, you have to start entirely over again, and have nothing to show.. with two, likely only one will have a problem and you can fix it and move on.. not have to start over, wait a week, make another batch, wait another week.. by then you're a month deep before you see any results. It can be very mentally taxing for a maker to have a catastrophic failure like that, at least with something to show it keeps you in the game, and keeps you mentally strong and motivated to continue and less likely to give up after wasting a week or more of your time and seeing nothing. So there are a multitude of reasons to do two or more molds at once and not try to reuse them. It isn't always about pinching pennies or saving a bit of material.

[@scratchsupper5883]

@@AJ-ew7kr depends on the cement you use. Also if done properly you can take it out of the mold to finish curing while starting the next. If it were me I'd figure out how to build a mold that is coated mold release and the pieces are on tracks that when clamped only requires new silicone. Now this might not work, but let's be honest, your friends and family will want one.

Glen, that was one beautiful bench! So modern and built like a tank. I liked your tip about using a Sawzall Recip Saw for vibration. I would never have thought of it, and did not know you had to vibrate the concrete. I've never worked with concrete but this got me interested. Thank you for a very good demo!

Good work. Handsome bench. I would offer a suggestion on finishing the concrete legs. Instead of regular sealer use Line X or some other good spray on truck bed liner . This will not only seal them but make them nearly indestructible . Keep up.the good work.

[@myCloudWatcher]

The look is great. I love the simple lines. You may want to look into "Fiber Mat" for the re-enforcements. The metal over time will rust and leak out. Your forms are great and the edges are very good.

[@DIYCreators]

Thank you. Ill checks it out. Never heard of it. I believe with the concrete sealer it will hold up longer.

[@ChronosCooper]
