I think adding a nice walnut veneer around the toe kick will match nicely with the brown sofas.

[@thelittlebluecar2938]

Really nice end result after a lot of hard work. Good job. Perhaps you could try some used engine oil (or cooking oil) as a light film over all the inside of your mold/former (Shuttering release is used by concrete crews). This prevents 'concrete bite' and enables easier release without chipping. Another idea would be to use cement dye powder; mix a few separate lots from you whole bag, add different colour dye to each lot. Then drop one on the other in the mold (like marble cake) for an interesting finish.👍

[@edwinkrikhaar7223]

If you have ever had a project like this with concrete again, use Formwork oil. This oil ensures a smooth end result and the formwork also dissolves much more easily. It is very easy to use, just spray the formwork with the oil and that's it. Compliments for the beautiful design.

[@kyleh6962]

Great video! Thanks for showing all three, it's really refreshing showing your early attempts and what went wrong. We also learn from your mistakes, and not all YTers do that.

[@MrFatboyRuns]

Love watching your videos because you are very creative in your techniques. I wouldn't build a concrete table myself, but I certainly learnt some new skills from this. Cheers.

[@timothycreasy2161]

The third table turned out nice. Working with a material like concrete is trial and era if you have never done much with it. Good job

[@reyglez107]

Nice 👍🏼 paste wax works excellent as a form release.

[@matthewmartin2951]

I really like the 3rd side table you could also put a nice round piece of glass on it to make it a bit wider

[@chrisglen5025]

Nice work ! By screwing half round trim onto nylon straps you can easily create a re-usable fluted form. Just remember to mark the end to make it really easy to cut out of the tube. Cast concrete is really versatile and durable , i look forward to your next project.

[@markmanriquez3208]

Im painting on polyester resin to thee exterior of an inner 8" forum and thee interior of my 12" forum... also going to put tape on the rifle-ing spiral seems so they dont shown on my columns .. youve been a great help thanks

[@scottmills5264]

It turned out wonderfully. It's great to see that you didn't give up when you encountered problems, but you kept trying new options until you got the result you wanted. Awesome work!

[@HipNerd]

Came out great in the end. Lots of clever design tricks. I was recently learning about aircrete, and I wonder if that would help cut down on the weight.

[@cussot]

The cork doughnut is intriguing. I wonder what else you could do with that material?

[@SurreyHouseDIY]

Great end result. Thank you for sharing the mistakes too. So relatable, Becky x

[@markmanriquez3208]

Love the creativity miss. My project that got me here... are two roman columns for my wedding... i promised my fiancée id make two as decor for our wedding and they'll become family heirlooms 😊. I need to borrow your pool noodle dynamite ideah ish... thanks 🤗

[@dannybradley9346]

Really nice work. I also like the determination necessary to get to the finished product!

[@claybowser698]

Very cool. I do all kinds of stuff with concrete. I use acorns and pine cones for texture. I hollow the guts out of glass light bulbs, drill out the center and put a chain in the middle and fill them with concrete. Once they dry I break the glass. They are great for the center weight for wind chimes. I use all manner of plastic bottles and jugs for forms for planters and vases. I use pool noodles for the void in the middle. After they dry you just dig the pool noodles out. So many options really. BB's for a bb gun make great texture too once the concrete stiffens a bit embed the bbs on the surface till it dries then take a wire brush and brush them out. Makes a cool dimpled texture. Anyway cool video. Canola oil in my opinion is the very best thing for coating forms with for nonstick.

[@carlospinheirotorres9499]

Great video, mistakes are the thing I really like in workshop jobs -- thanks Pneum ♥️

[@robertkerby2581]

Great job at sticking with it until you obtained the desired result! Your concrete end-table looks great! Well done!

[@laurendao4467]

The final product is stunning. Thanks for bringing us through the trial and error!

[@MCsCreations]

Really beautiful work! It looks great! 😊 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@awesomearizona-dino]

Nice work. Many years ago, i was doing restorations on old churches and other ornamental buildings, columns, capitals, corbels etc. Also learned how to make rubber molds. Stay Cool !!!

[@robertevans6481]

And just think about all of the possibilities with this form. You got my head spinning with a custom concrete lamp,with colored concrete.... And yes the toe kick is a must.

[@JeremieSantos]

Great result. In the makign process i think i would use a smaller diameter concrete tube for the inside. and the toe kick i'd probably make that as a separate piece then glue together after the fact. the scallop look looked great.

[@roberthillard6706]

Love watching your builds, and how well you explain the process. Keep up the good work. Love the eyelashes too 🙂

[@bleugaze]

This might be asking for a lot but I would love to see you delve further into this, creating other forms, dying the concrete different pigments (peachy pink?) , creating a space for a drawer, maybe limewashing painting it? If you're interested I am too. I know it's a lot of work though! Lovely

[@Mike-fl8ou]

I love it! Do you by chance have a link to the recycled cork you were using? I have some ideas for it I'd like to try out. The pool noodle idea was genius! Great space filler, and inexpensive. I may have to give this project a go myself. Thanks for this one.

[@HyperactiveNeuron]

To be honest, I like all 3. The final result is undoubtedly awesome. #1 has that brutalist architecture or modern minimalist feeling and #2 with all the chips has that ancient ruins kind of vibe.

[@radarguru566]

Nice job! Cool project! Don't pay attention to the haters. They just don't get southwest style!

[@tomtruesdale6901]

Very interesting build. You might also use smaller diameter concrete form tubs to make the inside core. Maybe spray silicon as a mold release?

[@Craftlngo]

I really dig the industrial yet ancient looking column design of your table! If you want more height and a bigger table, you can still add a table top and use the concrete as base for the table. Maybe something out of glass or a nice piece of wood as table top?

[@wdbland0820]

Great job, an idea would be to make an air crete mix, like they do for sinks and counter tops. It would make it a lot lighter.

[@michael74556]

Nice work, you're very diligent and meticulous. What are you going to do with the first two interations of the concrete table?

[@funvideos2633]

I really like it. Nice job and an A+ for your stick to it attitude.

[@azrockpunk]

That concrete slap was so awkward 😅. I actually really liked how #1 came out as well as #3.

[@mikek7193]

Darn good video. And the furry-looking project manager certainly knew their stuff and made the job better.

[@mikesionu]

Always nice to see your projects, the puppy steals the show!

[@billj5645]

A lot of people are involved in making countertops and various types of furniture. I suspect that the concrete they use is a higher strength than bagged concrete from the home stores. Also the concrete at the home stores will take about 7 days to get just over half of its maximum strength, and 28 days to get to maybe 80-90% of its maximum strength. In 1 or 2 days it doesn't develop much strength. In construction the formwork is always sprayed with an oil to get it to release from concrete. I don't know how the countertop people do it and I wonder if an oil would possibly discolor the concrete. Basically there is a lot of technology that goes into concrete, more than just cement plus sand plus gravel.

[@joannestimson9641]

Great! I really like the first one too.

[@jewdd1989]

Finally good to see a new video from you! I miss your builds for sure, this concrete, fluted table is fun yet elegant. Btw cork can be wood glued in most cases so I bet if you glued your cork panels to a 1/4” or 1/8” backer it’d work much better. Hope to see plenty more builds 👎🏼

[@louiekaragiannes4464]

We ever getting the Q&A as well as the cost breakdown video from the house build?

[@no120992]

so much hard work. turned out so great!

[@Knasern]

Regarding the cork thingy.. Just use concrete loosener spray beforehand.. Turn the table, and wiggle it out?

[@Mebeknob]

Great shirt. My wife would love it.

[@franknockels1438]

I can't be the first person ever to mention how lovely your hands look. You should pursue hand modeling

[@ConflictedSwitch]

Whenever I have an idea for a table like this, I always fabricate something simple in cardboard. Usually it's just a simple box to get the height and simple dimensions right. And even when I thought I got the height dialed in, I've used shims of cardboard to bring the height up bit by bit until it feels right.

[@servant74]

Did you oil the inside of your forms? Even spraying 'pam' will help with release.

[@DumbfoundedMadman]

Could've just burned/melted the trim pieces out on the second one with a torch. Honestly though, the one you finished with was still the best of them anyway. Great project.

[@keithcecil8165]

Super cool!

[@DavZell]

I bet DAP has a product that would have helped put the cork on the wall!

[@maryhutto5112]

Thank you for sharing 🥰

[@ArsantiSara]

Good ideas

[@A_Class216]

All 3 look pretty dope. I thought you were going to glue the pool noodles to concrete tube.

[@vonmoraes]

Try to aircrete (using foam + concrete) maybe this made the furniture more lighter

[@wengi_tuu]

9:30 pro tip...... vibrate at different levels of pour from start to finish.

[@KevCampbell]

An excellent project, though obviously a LOT of work. The unfortunate truth is we learn more from the things that don’t go completely to plan. We, the audience, are fortunate that we get to learn it by proxy from you 😎 Do you think DIY foamcrete might work here?

[@wilgarcia1]

Very Nice =)

[@williamellis8993]

Good job persevering until you had the desired results. You could have taped a stick to a blade on your recip saw and used it to agitate the concrete as you were pouring. Bill

[@eduardomateus4742]

The table is very cool but the audio from the video has a lot of reverb. Maybe something to improve in the future.

[@daliborjularic7031]

I like your works but i mostly like that black dog.

[@PneumaticAddict]

I like her best too

[@kimberlycunningham1284]

There are many people who diy bc they can’t afford and people who diy and can afford but do this for the sake of videos. It’s so easy to tell the difference. The supplies used are more expensive than just buying it.

[@bigjoe8198]

Damn!!!!

[@502deth]

just make an inch thick top to the table the diameter that you want. both problems solved, and you dont have to start over.

[@502deth]

also, i liked the distressed colum look, but it needed the toe kick. imo, that combo would have been the winner.

[@Jan-v1o7t]

[@chrisaustin23]

When Bryce slaps and then gently caresses the first iteration...

[@AngelLuisTrinidad]

It looks like a garbage can or an ash tray. I think you should put a wood top, making it a real coffee table.

[@finnthehuman4928]

поставил в одно место однажды и навсегда

[@amandar4980]

Why.. heavy as heck. A couple 2x4 is better.

[@andrefleuriet2391]

🍒 salut Pour le numéro 2, il aurait fallut badigeonner les baguettes avec un corps gras ...

[@skoli55]

Terrible. This is exactly what I wouldn't want in my house.

[@followme8238]

What, you don’t like moving a 120# cement block around your house? 120# is insane!

[@AngelLuisTrinidad]

Yeah it looks like a garbage can. It can be fix by adding a wood top.

[@MrFatboyRuns]

Not my personal cup of tea either, but as a DIYer myself I can appreciate the satisfaction she got from bringing her vision to life

[@followme8238]

How did you measure/calculate/ guess the length of the cork strips? Seems like that could be simple math but you don’t get into it….

[@bd_mayhem]

2πr

[@scrotiemcboogerballs4967]

Cool project nice skills but my God you're beautiful!
