You are literally surrounded by concrete in your day to day life. It actually would be a really great idea to have some basic knowledge about how concrete works, how it breaks, how to fix it in order to minimize your expense hiring professionals to take care of minor issues for you.
In addition to the construction fundamentals of concrete there are a host of decorative and benchtop applications for concrete as well.

From cost-saving tips, how to make concrete stronger, tips for concrete casting, types of lightweight concrete, concrete admixtures and what they do to the concrete, mold making and so much more. Throughout the videos on Creating Concrete, you will find answers to questions you didn't even know you had.
Steve has been working with concrete in different capacities for a couple decades. Much of his concrete experience is in the swimming pool industry building and repairing concrete swimming pools. Much of this work also included building artificial rock waterfalls and water features, dramatic statues and large landscaping rocks. He has won awards for both his concrete pool building skills as well as his ability to teach people through a large library of articles at www.swimmingpoolsteve.com and over 1,000 videos as @Swimmingpoolsteve. Through his years of working with concrete, he has picked up all kinds of tips and techniques that he wants to share with you, especially if you are just getting started. Concrete as a hobby is a rewarding and cost-effective experience and something that can be done no matter how much or how little space you have to work with.

Ya'll subscribe. Steve is great and knows his concrete. I've learned so much from him. Thanks for your videos, Steve!

[@creatingconcrete]

Thanks for commenting!

[@plantsNstuff]

Like the man said, it only costs a mouse click to subscribe, and as an added bonus, you get to hear the warm sonorous tones of Steve's voice issuing forth from your speakers 😁 I did a decade plus of concrete work and I've gotten more useful concrete information from your KZbin channels than I ever did on the job. Keep it coming, and by all means, stay verbose. There's no shame in creating information dense videos.

[@dustynBiz]

Love your videos, both the information and the presentation, and sincerely appreciate all the work you put into it. I hope in one of your future videos you could address the effect of incorporation of mesh, wire, rods or other structural material within concrete on the strength of a piece of decorative concrete or sculpture.

This channel is going to be great i have learned lots here myself for what i needed to get started. My problem now is that i need to ask questions of Steve but have no way of getting in touch with him. I would like to get an email so we could chat but in time , no rush.

[@creatingconcrete]

I am very available online through www.swimmingpoolsteve.com where I have contact details posted as well as an online (paid) consulting service which I offer for technical questions etc. You can also reach me directly at creatingconcrete AT gmail dot com.

[@cynthiastandley5742]

Well, that was a little verbose, but I'm in. :)

[@cchemmes-seeseeart3948]

Cuz I said "please" surprise at the end. Ha ha. And so you don't keep telling your wife about concrete. Also funny. Congratulations on your professional awards. I was already subscribed so I couldn't do that again, but I did hit the notification bell, realizing it was not selected. I mostly want to build sculptural art stuff out of separate concrete parts, if you can do some kind of videos on that. Such as sculptures done in parts, then put together with welding, soldering, maybe covering the connections... What to do about exposed steel? Or making my own concrete tessera that I decorate, & then add to sculptures. I am especially lacking in knowledge of how to manage doing a piece all at once with wet concrete, & how long you can keep adding parts... or how to manage if you don't finish & need to add parts some other way?? You are great at explaining things; not all people can teach, but you explain much of the details involved in your videos. Please keep making them.
