SANDING The CONCRETE counter top

[@daleshewchuk3523]

I admire your tenacity in tackling this massive project.I found your video production less than it could have been. The background music over rode your voice and I had to keep turning the volume up and down to avoid the incessant sanding noise. Hope that helps for future videos. We enjoy your channel and your resourcefulness.

[@LumnahAcres]

Thanks. I dont know what happened with the audio, I am thinking it had alot to d with the sander over riding the mic. Next video it will be BETTER. I wont be sanding LOL. I like the constructive criticism, especially since it is coming from a subscriber that enjoys the channel. Thanks for the feed back and cant wait to see you on the net one! What do you think about a weekly tool review video?

[@daleshewchuk3523]

All of us tool junkies are always interested in someone else's tool selection.It can help from a what and what not to buy perspective.

[@oldschoolautoupholstery]

Turning down the sanding noise and skipping the music next time will make a more enjoyable video. Just sayin'

[@virginiareid5336]

Your determination to make it perfect is so commendable. You never quit no matter how challenging or time consuming‼️

[@ldg2655]

Man! You are CRAZY handy with tools!!! I watch quite a few different channels...each one leads me to another one... I usually get something from each channel, whether it be gardening know-how, meat processing know-how, pasture management know-how, and YOU inspire me to not be afraid to tackle projects and BUILD what i want!!!! We have already been tossing around the idea to build cabin from a kit..

Al Lumnah, the farmer with many talents.

[@casspeters620]

I’m so glad I seen this, I redid my countertops not knowing wtf I was doing and was told I messed up because I used concrete with rocks, mine looks just like yours so I’m about to sand it!

[@jimclaire7996]

Wow, what a wonderful,gift and great skill. You are a very blessed Man!

[@conir9628]

Have really enjoyed your progress on this island....you have done a great job. Can't wait to see the finish on the concrete top.

[@LumnahAcres]

Coni R Thank you 😊 it has been a labor of love ❤️. But it has been fun and totally worth it. I can't wait 😊 either to see what it looks like once it is sealed. Bummer we have to wait 2 more weeks until the concert is fully cured

[@LaurelCanyonMojo]

the music level makes this impossible to hear you over

[@toddsarnstrom3391]

I've used mineral oil on concrete kitchen counter because it is food safe. As long as you get a pure tune oil I would think it would be food safe, mineral is so easy to get hands on and cheap.

[@LumnahAcres]

Todd Sarnstrom Thanks. We have some pure tung oil left over from our floors. Did you like the mineral oil finish

[@toddsarnstrom3391]

Lumnah Acres the mineral oil looks great. Penetrates well so you protect from stains.

[@lauriesmith7793]

Love the look. I do like the dry look. Looks like stone. Great job Al. Can not wait to see the finish product.

[@LumnahAcres]

Thanks. Yea we like the natural look too!

[@williamblakeley3744]

AWSOME TABLE it will last a long time nice AL 👍👍

[@McCannDogs]

Looking GREAT!

[@LumnahAcres]

Thanks! Cant wait for TUESDAY!

[@ZoeHimmel]

How long do you have to wait for this to dry again before sealing?

[@yamahawins]

I would have just hung plastic around the island from the ceiling to the floor. basically boxing in the island as a work area.

[@LumnahAcres]

bruce lowe I wish I thought 💭 of that. GREAT 👍🏻 idea. Don't tell my WIFE. LOL

[@HienNguyen-cb5tn]

bruce lowe to

[@daniell4768]

how many days after the pouring did you start the sanding?

[@richna9568]

How long did you let it cure before you started sanding?

[@Itdontmatter69]

Turned out nice. I just poured my 4x8 island top. I poured onto puck board. I just removed it and it’s extremely shiny, to shiny. My sealer is a matte finish, I’m a little concerned if i sand it it will show the swirl marks ??

[@jimf1964]

Wow, have your videos ever gotten better! Hard to believe it's the same channel.

[@tonyajackson0960]

Wonder why you didn’t continue sanding and polishing with increasing your Diamond pad number; 50, 100, 300, 800, 1250, 2,000, 3,000., 5,000. Makes it really smooth and just a touch of shine without pouring any top coating. Maybe you weren’t finished. Not sure

[@poepflater]

for a water source, just fill your bucket and drill a tiny hole near the bottom

[@4philipp]

Great video series on concrete countertops. Personally, I rather do butcher block countertops but it does look good.

[@deblawson1575]

I really enjoy watching your video's..........BUT the back ground music is WAY TO LOUD for us old farts that have hearing problems it makes it VERY hard to hear you, PLEASE turn the music down or off. Other wise GREAT JOB I like what your doing and the counter top is just lovely!!!! Thanks Bunches. God Bless You and Yours.

[@jelomaxjoiner]

you should have used a release agent on your forms before pouring concrete . you would have got a better finish ,

[@ourfloridagarden4191]

Looks awesome!

[@LumnahAcres]

Our Florida Garden thanks!

[@MonteTurner]

That looks great! Did your wife and daughter like move out while you did all that sanding. My wife would have!!

[@LumnahAcres]

Thank you! They weren't around during the sanding! LOL But they got to see all the MESS! The out come is worth IT! We are happy with the final product and how little $ we have in it!

[@daviddheny4868]

hell, I'd sand it the rest of my life if the wife and kids moved out while sanding!

[@OFFGRIDGEORGE]

love it 👍 I really like the wet look. I guess I'll have to wait till next week to found out what sealer you decide to use :)

[@pedropereira8924]

Very nice, thanks!!!

[@inadollard6672]

Very nice job

[@jonathandonner0723]

great job!

[@yrralyou]

Probably could get a second job, using the time it took to make and sand that concrete countertop and get granite for a countertop. How do you plan on coloring it? Surely you don't plan to leave it the color of mud.

[@LightGesture]

Wet sanding with an invitation that extracts dust? Seems like it would get ruined

[@dave_from_mo]

should have used a concrete edging tool from HD for 5-10 dollars

[@LumnahAcres]

Next time I would use drip edge with a square edge. We used that on a different counter top and it worked AWESOME! I wanted to see what this one would give

[@genegoodman5233]

Anytime I watch a video I will read some of the comments to see what people think. The # 1 complaints is the background music as on this video, there are a lot of complaints. Personally I wish they would not be any music. That's just my opinion.

[@batpherlangkharkrang7976]

Hi....AL nice to see you I love to watch your video homestead thank you for sharing your video homestead chicken farmer garden bye 👋 bye 👋 👨‍👩‍👧👸👕👓🐩🐔🐓🐥🐈🐖🐕🐐🌱🏡🎥👍👍👍

[@Xen0-0003]

What kind of concrete was used ?

[@LumnahAcres]

Quickcretes counter top mix

[@suraush]

Hi - Thank you, that was very informative! What sealer did you end up using and did you create a video for that?

[@LumnahAcres]

We ended up sealing it and we do have a video on that!

[@suraush]

@@LumnahAcres Can you provide a look to that please? I tried searching, but oh boy, you have a ton of good stuff out there! Thank you.

[@suraush]

@@LumnahAcres kzbin.info/www/bejne/nKK4qKuDmtp6pcU Found it!

[@stevenwhite9891]

its so rough because you troweled off all the portland cement

[@LumnahAcres]

Thanks for the tip

[@ditmagiknietvergeten]

In curious if he didn't troweled of the water would the grid on the cement be less rough ?is that what you ment? Kind regards rose

[@jahnkecy]

Kill the music- very annoying!

[@raquelrusu4347]

I don't think I ever saw how the cabinets were done:(

[@cormierrichard]

cool stuff

[@LumnahAcres]

Thanks

[@timothyrivera6876]

Take off the music cant hear anything your saying

[@allconstruction1]

wow that a lot of work... nice job just for information you need a mask and good ventilation maybe you did not read the specification on the bag of cement but the dust is very dangerous and cancerous, etc....

[@LumnahAcres]

Thanks, great tip. Have you ever made a concrete counter top?

[@lydiamulder1452]

and now its broken 😢

[@CeciDJing]

Fun project, but the edges are really not that good looking, if it was me I would choose to have 90 degrees square edges.

[@LumnahAcres]

That would be the one thing I would do differently next time. But that's how we role. Live and Learn and do matter the second time around! Thanks for watching

[@machete417]

Belt sander?

[@gauravjoshi2474]

Seriously 30 grit? That's why it got rough on the top 🤣🤣

[@JimA-pp2nu]

why did you play music over your talking?

[@kevinsheridan7412]

Dude you just took years off your life not using a mast

[@kevinsheridan7412]

Mask

[@rudygtrz]

granite is porous, not good for food service.

[@3v0lv3d6]

Doesn't look good at all. Waste of time.

[@SteveGraves1960]

worthless audio
