Okay..... I'm mesmerized!

[@bobrutan4735]

very nice Gris! I like the voids.....

[@rosewoodsteel6656]

Thanks for the video! I think I'll just leave the sonotube in place, after the pour. If I want to remove it later, my guess is it will be as soft as wet cardboard and come off a lot easier. :)

[@randomnumbers2697]

Hello, thanks for the information video. Where do you get the “stone rasp” and “big stone tool” shown in your video?

[@Around_The_Home]

Have you ever tried spraying/painting the inside of the tube (before pouring the concrete) with a concrete release agent ?

[@FullmoonEffects89]

Thank you. This helped so much

[@markjones921]

What's the best way to get the tube off when the inside is stuck on the concrete after you peel the tube??

[@cherylgreco8141]

How do you make the cement like white
Do u color it add color before you mix it together ?

[@BurtBowers]

Guess you could leave it all intact if the tube sits just below the ground right?

[@condor5635]

I think you would only remove in cases where they are exposed and would look bad. If buried what’s the point?

[@kristopherhasenbuhler5393]

Concrete guys are always so buff🤣

[@mrconcreteartisan]

Picking up heavy shit all day will do it .👍😉

[@brandonhartman4795]

What if you placed the wet forms on a table with a fairly cheap vibration motor attached to it during the filling and drying process to eliminate all the air pockets🤯

[@sharonbendtsen2973]

For those of us who can't press 100's of # how do you think it would work if I made it hollow using a smaller tube inside. Because that has got to be very heavy

[@mrconcreteartisan]

You make a great point Sharon.Yes you can ,and I do as well for other projects.I just wouldn't do the dry mix ,on a thinner walled pillar you need to keep the integrity of the concrete.You could also do this with the piece being on the ground on a piece of melamine or plywood.I find it easier for myself to take it off the table ,and yes it is in the 200lb range.I might do a follow up vid and bring up your question.Thanks for your input :)

[@Kelly-lo6cz]

Did you grease up the inside prior to pouring the conctete?

[@mrconcreteartisan]

No need ,the sonner has a no stick suface on the inside of the tube.

[@brandonhartman4795]

Why not just lightly spray the inside of the tube with some cooking spray,essentially waterproofing the tube which would prevent from becoming saturated and sticking

[@werquantum]

What, no biscuit dough???

You must be at least *this big* to wear the free shirts from bodybuilding.com in public.

[@martinebangs6520]

I would love to try this but I don't think I'm strong enough, I would have to find me a man with big guns...haha

[@mrconcreteartisan]

Lol ,Oh c'mon Martine .

[@martinebangs6520]

Ok, so I don't pull off the "damsel in distress" very well...lol

[@mrconcreteartisan]

Haha ,you're not bad :)
