This is actually awesome. great quality video. I'm surprised it didnt get more likes

[@MakerGray]

Ah thanks so much! My Chanel is still so new. They'll get here eventually :)

[@G33ZiM3]

Excellent job! 2 circular cutouts for the bowl(s) would be beyond excellent!

[@MakerGray]

Thank you! And yes, circular cut outs would be awesome!

[@InsomniacReviews]

how would have you done circular cutouts in the concrete?@@MakerGray

[@hannaharnold2223]

Love the design! 🙌🏾💓

[@autumngrace3135]

Nice job!

[@tomsdreamshopworx]

Nice design! I would have not used the wood piece with the knot in it, but that’s a personal choice.

[@faustacastaneda1578]

[@MakerGray]

Thank you, Thamir!

[@Hili24pur]

love it....great idea...I may make a branch from this idea , but the sealer is sooo toxic , wish there were ways to do these things w less toxic chemicals...there have to be alternatives ,, more green products. like I would use nails instead of glue no poly urethane ugh...but thx. I'm gonna do its w/ out the chemicals thx

[@MakerGray]

I love the idea of more green products. Let me know what you go with. Thanks for watching!

[@WorksbySolo]

Cool project! I just found your channel via Instructables. Since you've been using this a short while now, is there anything that you would recommend doing differently? Thanks for sharing!

[@MakerGray]

Hey thanks so very much! This project has held up so well and I'm still so happy with it. The only think I think I might do different in the future is to not plug the screw holes on the underside of the concrete. That way I could change out the top in the future if needed. But honestly, the top is holding up great and I don't see needing to replace it. Thanks so much for watching!

@@MakerGray Hi. Looks great but what about food and water dish ?

[@stripesdrummin]

do you have a list of supplies and measurements? thanks. I have two black labs and a foster boxer/ massif mix.

[@MakerGray]

Your doggies need this! I don't think the measurements are on my website, but I do know that the supplies are. If you go to makergray.com you'll see them there.

[@basemb.3309]

Is there a more efficient way or technique to remove bubbles while or after boring the concrete?

[@MakerGray]

The mallet has worked well for me but I've seen people use sanders (with no sandpaper attached) to vibrate the sides and pop the bubbles with success.

[@raynermaker4692]

Nice - I would imagine (without seeing your video first mind) that doing stuff with concrete would be hard. Not so! Nice one. Got a sub from me! :-) quick question - would you think about polishing the concrete too? Cheers!

[@MakerGray]

Thank you so much Rich! The concrete came out very smooth, but I imagine polishing wouldn't hurt at all if that is the look you'd like. I made a different concrete project (the side table) and because it was formed in a plastic bucket, it came out remarkably smooth. Looking forward to more concrete projects. Cheers!

[@ianmackney3089]

So how did you stop the dog bowls from sliding about on the top?

[@MakerGray]

I use dog bowls that have a non skid bottom and they stay on just fine

[@PENGUlN124]

But there are no holes for the bowls? Will you just sit them on top?

[@MakerGray]

PENGUlN124 Yep. Right there on the top.

[@christmas816]

How often does the top need to be resealed?

[@MakerGray]

I've never resealed mine and have been under the impression that I won't have to. But I guess it just depends on what wear your top sees.

[@linnsoltwedel]

I would love to make this too but my dog takes 80 % of the water 10 feet around the bowl after drinking :P

[@MakerGray]

Hahaha I know how that goes
