Great video. Can anyone form you suggest me from where can i purchase those optical fibers?

I have had some of the finished surface flake off? I can send photo. Wondering why?

Very useful - thanks!

Hello, Love this video. Do you think I can do this as a 3/4" thick pour over a tile coutertop? Thanks

ah.... meth? why are you going crazy on THE BOTTOM OF THE GD MOULD? hilarious.

something that helps on hot days is add icecubes , bit hard to calculate the watercontent though , maibe go by weight of water

Are you a JW? I've only ever heard a JW say: "you can glean information"

So much back ground noise I had to stop watching your video......

Where did u get the mesh ups/chairs for the cattle panel for the countertops?

What's your preferred sealer for concrete countertops?

Nice video. I am planning to work on a similar project for my bathroom vanity top. Can you please explain why you used portland cement powder? Is it for smooth surface?

Sir, which optical fibers have you used while making

Any reason why you couldn't strap a vibrating thing to the screed bar? Seems the back form edge gives you little space to shift back and forth. Also could you apply vibration against the bottom of the cement board to level?

Question, do you have to caulk or silicone the forms?

you are good

Very informative!

I’m lost did you put purchase the sink mold or buy it?

For something weighing 800 lbs and only 2 inches thick, it's hard to wrap my head around how adding bendable wires will make potentially crumbly, or buckling cement more ridged. Can you explain?

For a 5’ x 9’ island, 2” thick, no sinks cutouts, that has a 1’ overhang on one end and 6” on the side, what would be your recommended reinforcement?

Do you use a plasticizer? If so what do you recommend? Thank you in advance

For a not-made-for-youtube video, you sure provided me with the best video on youtube about this topic. Most of the other ones are trying to sell sinks or just DIY'ers with a series of mistakes. Thanks for this it was very helpful.

Oh WOW.....How beautiful, then ruined with the stain...OUCH! Wonderful work!!! Can you do mine? Let me know the cost per sqft. I have about 25"x350" of counter to do. I want it as thin as possible, and as little of a lip as possible. Contact info would be great :-)

Is it possible to do a pour in place with a sink? I want to do this for my island, but it's going to be 55"x99", so I would never be able to move it or fit it through my doors if I don't do a pour in place.

I've got a whole bunch of extra welded wire fencing, the stuff that is pvc coated (like this: www.homedepot.com/p/Everbilt-4-ft-x-50-ft-Black-PVC-Coated-Welded-Wire-Fence-308382EB/205960866). Do you think I could use that for reinforcement? Any issues with the coating?

Hold one here, so what you're saying is you don't just wave the screed over the form and voila perfectly finished and beautiful finish? This looks like real work.

Do you ever have a problem with ghosting where the outline of the reinforcement shows through on the finished side? If so how do you prevent it?

Thank you for saying hydrate!!

What would you advise doing countertop-wise for a three-sided cinder block bbq grill with a 4ft opening in the front? I want to pour in place. Do you advise a lintel or would reinforcing the countertop be enough? I'm guessing the countertop will be supporting roughly 250 lbs.

Hello I am working on a cast in place bar countertop of 2” of thickness. Because it is poured in place I have to anchor the reinforcement to an existing wall. I have the concern of anchoring a wire mesh, If it would be enough to resist the weight of the counter, since your recommendation was not using rebar on a 2 inch or less thickness. Do you think is enough or maybe I can use a combination of reinforcement? Thanks for your help! Saludos desde Panama 🇵🇦

Thank you for the video and description of the different options. I am building an outdoor kitchen/bbq station. The kitchen will be "L" shape and have a straight run of 3' x 10' concrete counter that includes a 1' overhang along the 10' section. I would like your recommendation of what the best reinforcing would be for the concrete counter. Especially the overhang area. Thank you in advance!

I just poured my 4x8 island top, but I didn’t pour in place. Was to worried I couldn’t finish the top smooth enough so I poured it in a form using melamine. I only made it 1 1/2 thick with alot of rebar. Little worried about the transferring to place it. It might crack due to the stress of lifting it.

I’m about to pour a 4x8 slab for my island top. 1 1/2 thick only. Won’t be poured in place, plan on lifting it out of form, flipped over then set on top. I’m extremely scared of it breaking or cracking while I’m flipping it and lifting it into place. Thoughts ?

Best ever seen

Thanks for the video! I am working on an outdoor BBQ, one element is a concrete bartop thats 6x3’ with a base that 6x1’ so each side has a 1’ overhang. How would reinforce this piece and how would you permanently attach it to the base? Thanks for your help!

Great video thanks! I’m working on a outdoor Bartop that about 6’ x 3’ with a base of 6’ x 1’, the base will be covered in cement board and countertop 1.5” thick. How would you reinforce the top

Thought him amateur, but… dude is a professor.

I am pouring concrete countertops and am planning to use Alkali Fiberglass Mesh that will be about a half inch from the top of a 1&5/8” countertop. I also bought some Hog wire mesh which is 6 gauge zinc plated. My question is ... is this too much reinforcement, if I were to put the hog wire about a half inch from bottom?

Inspiring

Very well explained, thank you

Great video. I found it super explained. Thank you for taking the time to do this

Inspired me to give this a go - thanks!

What type of concrete?

Great! I learned a lot. Thanks.

Do you have a video of how to make a marble finish or multiple color countertop as shown on the finished project at the beginning of this video? Thanks!

I so appreciate you sharing your knowledge and the videos are really helpful. It's clear you know what you're talking about. Can you recommend tools? I'm just starting getting handy and I don't want to learn by error what cheap tools are a waste of time...i.e., would any float do? Thx for putting this out!

the best, most practical video I've watched! Great job!

I am a completely new DIYer and I’m taking on an outdoor kitchen this Spring/Summer. I want to do my own concrete countertops. The kitchen will be under an overhang. Your videos are giving me hope I can give it a good shot. My question is I’d like to put some metal overlays on the countertop. I’d like them to set in the concrete and then maybe use an epoxy to make sure it all levels out. Thoughts? Can it be done? Thanks for your advice.

Great job Vincent, that came out incredible! Thanks, DC

Great channel, you are a good human! Thanks, DC

Loved your explanation and your technique! Thank you for sharing! I've been trying to get more confident to tackle our kitchen sink project and your video has definitely set me many steps closer to my DIY concrete kitchen countertop/sink... I was originally planning on just doing the sink but after seeing your project, I have a better idea... now all I need is someone to help me carry the thing once it's all done into the kitchen, lol! Thank you again!
