I am still amazed why you still sitting at less view's and subs....you supposed be viral with your extraordinary DIY,... specially with your pet reminded me myn....god bless you keep up good work...let me try to share your channel...
Is this available on Amazon and Flipkart??
What an environmental disaster. Try sand as a mold.
That sure is a lot of work, I need to know I enjoy making things with my hands that's also a lot of expense.....
That was the easiest ever. Thank you.
Do you worry about the pots being alkaline ? Or do you seal them inside before you use them ?
What a great find, I'm so Gunna try this very soon ,did you wet them down for a while after the 72 hours or put trees straight in the pots, cheers for a great idea.
Bagus om potnya 🎉🎉
Damn this is way easier than cardboard molds I been making. Got a bunch of styrofoam laying around too
Can you make the mould out of wood and then reuse it?
Wow, can't believe I've never found your channel before. GREAT content! Thanks for the awesome video man.
Great video mate and a beautiful tree! I'm coming over from your Reddit post. I dabble in bonsai a little but nothing of this level. I need to get me one of those little saws as well. Would save me a ton of time!
Thank you! The foam cutter makes it (much) easier to make a good mold - highly recommended!
@@bonsaitree-diy What are the odds you could cut wood with it. Nothing crazy just small pieces
Well the foam cutter is essentially a piece of heated wire, so it won't cut wood I'm afraid. A table saw or such would work. Im going to try cutting out a plywood mold using a laser cutter next ! 🤔🤞🏼
@@bonsaitree-diy I had to look it up! I thought it was a tiny saw blade you were using. Like a mini bandsaw! I didnt realise that was a heated wire 😅
How much did this cost in materials?
I would guess about $20/€20🤔
Great job! Tree and pot look fantastic! 🐦💙
Thank you! 😊
😍🤩
Real cool !!
p͎r͎o͎m͎o͎s͎m͎
Wow this is awesome!
you have some great engineering and 3D skills, awesome results!
Thank you kindly! This gives motivation to make more and try new things =)!
Exactly what I need at home! Love your videos 🙏
Awsome work please add dimension if u can
Hi! Im afraid I dont have or remember the dimensions for this one =(! I will very soon be making a XL size version for a very old (big) bonsai soon though! Will make sure to include dimensions!
best diy bonsai pot video on YT thanks for sharing. i think im going to try a wood mold in this style. going to try shohin/mame size first i think. before i go full in on a 10/20 inch pots lol
Wow thank oyou! Thats so nice! I tried wood before, with the hope of reusing the molds - it does work - but takes quite some time to get the mold "good"! Have you had a chance to try it? Would love to see!
Nice one bro! Have you ever tried making ceramic or stoneware pots?
Hi! Thank you! Hm nope have not tried those - ceramic has been enticing, but i felt that it would be a completely different technique to learn. With time and trial I feel the concrete pots have become quite good. Figured it would be worthwhile to continue developing the technique! Have you tried ceramic/stoneware yourself?
@@bonsaitree-diy I didn't. I live in an apartment, so not suitable for a kiln lol. But I'm a sucker for stoneware pots
Haha same, space is an issue and there is allready way to much plants and bonsai stuff around :D. Casting concrete works tho - some mess - but manageable!
Amazing work !! We need more vids
Thank you again! I have not had the plants to put into the pots - but am going to make a video of a BIG, green, viatnamese style pot for potting a beautiful 50y old ficus very soon!
Great work, you deserve way more subs.. keep up the grind you will get them !!!
Thank you! Humbling to hear!
this looks great, I wonder if the same could be achieved by using wood to have a more permanent mold. I might give this a try one day. But it does seem like a lot of work. Congrats on the job.
Hi Stefaan! Wood mold definitely works, with some added "work", the removal of the mold can be a bit more difficult. Also the finish of the concrete will emulate that of the wood. I tried this with MDF and got quite good results, but making the mold took a long time - and I quite like trying different "designs" so styrofoam has been easy to play around with =)!
I'm baffled at how your videos haven't gone viral. I've seen simpler looking pots with more views. Looks classy. Simple straight lines
Thank you Ahmed! Maybe one day they will? Or maybe bonsai pots just isnt that big of a thing :D! As i've done more and more pots, the techniuque is actually showing to be very promising - with loads of details and variations one can do!
Nice: did you watered it, during the 72 hours ?
Hi! Yes - basicly sprayed it with water as often as i could. I even think one could immerse it in a big bowl of water or in the sink (dont know if it would get through the styrofoam anyway tho..)
The bent spoon from the matrix! Bravo.
Have you got a cutting list
Hi Jim! Sorry, I actually dont (have forgotten the dimensions for these). The goal has been to show the technique for making them. There is a huge XL size viatnamese style pot in the making tho (for a 50y old beautiful ficus) - I will make sure to include exact dimensions for everything in it!
If you could add Length x Width & thickness of pieces in each project, it would help a lot, Otherwise, it's harder to follow for beginners. Thank You
He use to , the thing is its irrelevant because you can make it to the size that you want using the same method
I will aim to add sizes of the pieces in the next project! As Mattie mentioned, the main goal has been to show the method =)!
Great idea , what size nails ?
Hi! The nails are about 25mm in lenght (and probably just 1-2mm thick). In later projects/pots I have mostly forgone the nails and just used a glue gun to stick pieces together ( a bit easier!)
Hi everyone! Thank you for your comments! I must say that since this video was posted, the pots have become much (much!!) nicer. I think they make this one seem amateurish in comparison! Do take a look! ua-cam.com/video/a5bFyjfzTjo/v-deo.html, ua-cam.com/video/TTWw_s1xseQ/v-deo.html
Do you have the dimensions for the pieces for the mold? Only 1 of your videos shows them. Also you make mold so fast on these more intricate pots hard to follow your steps. These are the best made with molds I have found but do not have enough information to duplicate
Hi Penny! I am terribly sorry, I stopped including dimensions for the latest videos since i started "free styling". I hear you and thank you for your feedback - and will start including dimension again! p.s. I see that a couple of the earlier videos does include dimensions (list below) - perhaps these can help with the thought process. ps.s. Also, this one, ua-cam.com/video/a5bFyjfzTjo/v-deo.html shows the cutting process. ua-cam.com/video/Z-GyBfLr8Rk/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/zsh4vaHhlQk/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/073wQx_napU/v-deo.html
Tried foam before and it was messy for me, i was told to try plexiglass. Have you ever used plexi? Just wanted to know your thoughts on it. Great videos. Thank you.
Hi! Styrofoam can indeed get VERY messy when cutting. In one of the newer videos ua-cam.com/video/a5bFyjfzTjo/v-deo.html I included the cutting part - everything became much easier when i started using a Styrofoam cutter. Clean cuts, no mess! I have not tried plexiglass, however i suspect it would be quite costly and perhaps difficult to cut? Have you tried it? I tried making MDF molds but these took time to make, were hard to make details with - and not so functional for re-use.
I never thought of using acrylic sheet. 🤔
Brilliant effort 👍
Thank you!!
Wonderful ...thank you
Wonderful ...thank you
This looks like a really neat project!
Класс!
Nice!
Beautiful design!
I can't make this - don't have the spoon from "The Matrix." 😁 Fantastic work! Thank you for this!
:-D! Your so welcome and thank you! Do check out the latest vid, i dare say the technique has developed somewhat! I'm just super glad to help inspire diy bonsai pot making. The matrix spoon remains!
@@bonsaitree-diy Cheers mate! Just did - excellent work, and the colour is brilliant!
Fantastic as usual. Do you have any suggestions of what can be added to colour the concrete? I’ve used art or car spray paints after pots have dried but it might be a smarter and more permanent finish if it’s mixed IN the concrete? Thanks.
You can buy different colors or pigments (dry or wet) which you can mix directly into your concrete mixture. White cement is preferred if you do so, because if you add red pigment in your concrete mixture, for example, and if you use grey cement, than final color might not be as red as you want. That's why i prefer white cement, unless you want more darkish or black colors, than grey cement is the best option.
Hi! My apologies for such a late reply! @Animron is absolutely correct. There are 'ready-to-mix' color pigments specifically for concrete - they work great! I have been experimenting with different colors and they really look great (got a terracotta video up now, and a brown one coming up soon!). Pigments are to be preferred because 1. Quite easy to mix 2. Good results (can vary depth of color with amount mixed) 3. It permeates the entire mixture! Negative side: kinda expensive :')
Amazing 🙌🏼
Thank you!! <3
As I guess it should be better if you use a metal net for pots and for molding u can use thin wood cuts. After disassemble it's reusable.
I've seen a few videos with metal net casting - I daresay the craftsmanship for this seems more challenging. Also tried wood cuts for reuse, but these are quite "basic": In the last 1-2 videos I've tried making more detailed and interesting forms and shapes with styrofoam (which would be hard with a reusable mold). I hope to try metal net / freehand casting and shaping soon, a bit intimidated by it tho :')!
What's the thickness of styrofoam?
Hi! The styrofoam sheets are 10mm thick! In the more recent videos I have started to develop the technique and "cut out" the shapes from thicker styrofoam. This has made the mold structurally MUCH more stable and easy to manage (no need for clampers and supports!)
What's the thickness of styrofoam?
Hi! It is 10mm (0.39 inches) thick!
I made a pot same as you, thanks for such videos🤝
Truly my pleasure! I hope to develop them more and more!
I think this would be considered a semi cascade style, but beautiful tree regardless!!
