This is pretty genius! Iv been working on the business since I was around 14, so at this 23yrs and Iv seen some creative people improvise things but this was at a different level for sure. Also I admire that u do it solely for enjoyment and for others to benefit. Great work and God bless
Thanks very much for the encouragement and boost in confidence. I'm building a house this year, so may do more of this in the coming spring. Maybe I could get some advice from you
TheHowtoDad definitely newgeneration2122@gmail.com
BRILLIANT. Great job with ALL of this. And what an AWESOME neighbor. So, so sweet of him to help.
Ian is the best! I aspire to be as reliable, helpful and knowledgeable as he is
When he said son I pictured a grown man. How cute the concrete man was being a concrete dude.
Cool vid I am trying to save my neighbor buku on his drive way. I will give in to the young sailors Chanel thk u
Perfect as you were building it I was thinking it would need to be heavier than you added the sand. Wonderfull.
worked out ok. Need a little more practice with it, but I'm pretty happy with the way it turned out
I have done concrete for many years. I will honestly say. I subscribed immediately when I had seen this. very smart. I wish you luck with all your current or future projects.
awesome! I know many people aren't happy with how it turned out, but it was a fun project, and I think it turned out ok. happy to have you as a sub
@@TheHowtoDad I have a homeowner, that wants me to do stamp on a 12x12 area. So I am using your design. But the mold max is going to take to long to be shipped to me. So I plan on using BBDINO Silicone Mold Making Kit. I am hoping it will do the same as the product you used.
@@scottg151 cool! I'd love to hear how it turns out!
The roller is a really great idea! I suppose that the form could also be used to create a smaller flat stamp to go up against walls, etc where you can't fit the roller.
you're probably right. in my area I could t find any stamps for a reasonable price. this is why I made the roller...well also because I just wanted to
This is genius! 5+ years pouring/truck operating never seen this roller technique, even on a DIY job. This is exactly what i was shopping for. Even still i can only find the small painting sized tectured ones. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
that's why I made my own. could definitely tune the design so it works better, but I'm happy with my experiment.
This was great. I think a concrete form tube might be a good roller. Maybe paint the ends for longevity. Thanks for sharing. I'm going to have a look at your bed build.
awesome! glad you liked it. I think a concrete roller, or a PVC pipe would work really well. would certainly be easier to build.
Dude!!! This is AMAZING!! 🤩
....subscribed in the first minute at the sight of the Murphy bed
Thanks buddy! I hope my channel lives up to your expectations!
Me and my father were very impressed we will be trying this thanks.
Let us know how it works out!
Every single thing you did was clever. Wow.
you my friend get the "my favourite comment" award for this month!
Well done for having a go i think it needs more weight to inprint the concrete better if you get it right you will save a lot of money on buying a set of stamp moulds.All the best.
Such a great job. This will work for all kinds of roller applications. You are very talented.
Awesome. I wish there was more places to rent all the stamp materials. You did amazing job making that by hand!
thanks bud!
You did an amazing job ! The idea is absolutely ingenious !
worked out ok. thinking of giving it another try on my next project. there are a few things I'd do differently. thank you for your kind words of encouragement!
Great idea and thank you so much for sharing it with us all in UA-cam land. I will be trying this in a few weeks, it's gonna be a struggle with a 1 & 1/2 year old, dogs, cats and chickens but hell yeah. Thanks again.
Hey....I think you are awesome and glad to other parents doing projects with their kids around to see.
Some days it's overwhelming trying to do projects with the kids around... I spend more time breaking up fights than I do working. I don't k ow about you, but it takes me 3 time as long with the kids around to get anything done. But I love them...
So I was looking up for one of these and man your a lifesaver I’ll get the things needed but thank you for this video❗️❗️ your the man👏🏼
use a 10" drain pipe instead of all that plywood shinanigans. send me a picture if you build one!
TheHowtoDad will do seen online over a grand for one just a small set. I will do the normal brick pavers look looks nice to me and your unique thanks again I’ll do this when I get the chance and will send you a picture
Problem solved!!! Big Thank You !!!! Looking for something for our peojects. This will work great!
awesome! glad you found what you were looking for!
I would recommend using a 10" (250mm) pipe, instead of all the messing around with plywood I did.
Thank you for your efforts to show us how to spare hundreds of $ by making our own mold instead of buying them.
Please tell us what you use for making your mould not stick to the concrete?
What should I search for at the building supplies shop? What you think works best? I saw some guy using some coloured powder.
Thanks.
I used mineral spirits, but cement dust apparently works well too. just dip a large brush into a bag of cement dust and flick the bush over the work area to cover the work area in the dust
Its not a good job but fundamental
Shows that you care about people wanting to learn great skills and we thank you for that.
Thanks?
Totally brilliant! Thanks for this video. I've been trying to find the least-cost / best-looking solution to a 120 ft long area on the side of my house. Plain concrete would look trashy, but stamping supplies or a pro would be cost-prohibitive. This looks so much faster and easier than tamping poly mats one-by-one. Thank you again!
Awesome! Let me knowhow it goes!
this is a great idea. to get a better stamp impression with less imperfections you should use liquid release on the concrete and roller as done with normal stamp process and it will come out stunning.
We used Mineral spirits because that's what we had available to us. I live in a small town with very limited access to most things. Gotta work with what you've got
great work. any tips, links, video on colouring or finishing the concrete???????
that's a question for someone with much more experience
I think you did an amazing job, taking on the whole process. Well done.
it was a missive gamble. I think it paid of ok
this invention is better than stamps, less labor and very efficient. Great Job!
I use the marshaltown rollers and they are beautifully. Just limited if it’s ashlar slate
Excellent, really enjoyed it. Thank you.
glad you liked it! have a great day
Wow. Great job. I’m really impressed how ingenious you are.
I'll take that feather and put it in my hat! Thank you
I’m impressed with the roller you built and I think it looks great!
Thank you!
Thanks I am going to use ALOT of those tips. I am going to make my roller out steel. I am a fabricator I was worried it might be to heavy
heavy is good! I think the only problem you will have is getting the silicone to stick to the steel. figure that out, and you are golden!
Thats way cool! But im suprised you didnt mention that you have to make the barrel dia very specific so the roll pattern meets up properly around the drum.
Didn't I? I thought I did...I made this video 4 years ago, I know I recorded that part, but maybe it was too boring and math heavy...Had to use Pi and solve for "x". In any case, YES, you will need to make the barrel a specific size to accommodate the Pattern.
Great idea and wow you saved a ton of money. I have been stamping concrete for at least ten year. I have an edge rollet that works great. Id love to try this down one of my walkway projects. We just resealed a patio that was rolled by someone else and it looked really good. Think im going to make one of these out of one of my stamps. Thanks for the insight
Another idea for making the roller would be to start with a Sonotube. A 48"x10" one is about 16 dollars at Home Depot. A lot less work than all of the kerf cutting and glueing. You could cast the hubs out of concrete, with the axle in place, and a hole in the first hub. The hole would provide a means to add concrete for the second hub, as well as filling with sand afterwords. You might want to attach a board inside, along one side, to provide a place to attach the stamp. Heck, now that I think about it, you could just fill it with sand before casting the second hub which would be simpler than flipping it.
I 100% agree! next time I do this, I'd probably use a 10inch PVC pipe
Very nice. I plan to stamp my shed
Awesome
Very well done buddy 👍
I usually use used engine oil or any cooking oil (apply generously) to the forms and stamps as release agent ,works great
great tip, thanks!
Very smart crazy idea
Thanks!
Great job on everything related to this well developed video
Very well done 👌 and thats coming from an EXPERIENCED concrete finisher
thanks buddy!
I would try one of those high density cardboard tubes from the hardware store for pouring concrete in when putting posts in the ground, easy to find them in large diameters, maybe even brush it with some cheap fiberglass resin, with or without the cloth.
If i do this again, I will use a PVC sewer pipe. You can usually get off-cuts from excavation companies. They are waterproof so they won't break down during the pour
You're doing a brilliant job. Really enjoyed. Informative commentary. Keep it up.
Thanks Sameer! I appreciate the encouragement.
I didn’t think silicone would stick to silicone once it was dry ? I like the idea, it seems a better way of doing large areas. A lot of work making the roller, but well worth the effort 👍👍👍
it seemed to work. I didn't notice it delaminating the 2 times I used it.
Looks like you've come up with a creative method to save time, money and aggravation! Very nice! You did a great job with that!
This is awesome. Shared it for a friend to do his sidewalk. thanks for the post!
I saw the rebuild of tally ho years ago. That was a good video.
Pippa pig that’s him?
Made me think of an easy way to do some projects . Thanks
Great! that's why I do this
Great thinking out side the box,it seems to work fine being so light,i would have thought more weight not so.
Thank you. It fairly heavy, probably about 60 lbs. The key is the timing, lots of waiting around until the concrete has just the right consistency.
Thanks for reply priced the liquid rubber here in Ireland about 129.00 e very dear
The part about your son made me LOL......great video
My wife and I just rewatched that part, it's hilarious!
Awesome! Very clever. Very much appreciate you taking the time and initiative to share your projects.
Great info. Thanks a bunch.
Very well thought out build and execution !
Thanks! I pleased with how it turned out
why were you demonetized? this seems like great content.
it happened years ago...like 2006. my Adsense account was revoked. long story. good news for you is that I now make ad free content!
Great idea with the silicone mold. Not so much with the roller though. I could def see you were struggling to keep it balanced and straight, especially on those long runs. I may attempt the DIY mold, but make a few and attach them to ply wood with handles so I can lay them in the more traditional stamping process. I would never be able to un-see the uneven line joints :D Thanks for the idea and inspiration for us DIYers.
You're right about the long runs. Took a lot of concentration. I'm pleased with how it turned out, but like you said, I try not to look to close. I would say with practice I would get better
Thank you soooo much! I was trying to find an alternative to a concrete roller besides spending $1k or more and here it is!
You're welcome! The best part is you can use any pattern you want!
Did you make this? Did you use a drain pipe or sonotube?
This is a realy great it's much more easy to use then normal ,and much more cheap very very good ideea 👍
New Subscriber!! Id love to see more of these. P.S That slump was painfully dry!!! The driver could have juiced that up way more so it wasnt so hard on you guys
driver is the owner, he's not what you'd call friendly...thanks for the sub!
@@TheHowtoDad That explains it! Still did a great job. Im also curious about making one of these for a random slate pattern and also a wood plank pattern! Brick seems like it would be definitely easiest. I still have about two months before concrete season here in Canada so I'm going to try out making the brick one first.
@@brysont312 if you do, use a 10" pvc drain pipe instead of the plywood thing I was screwing around with.
@@TheHowtoDad Will do! Thanks for the tips. I'm going to experiment with a few different patterns. If you like I can send you the results! I do about 10-20 stamp jobs each year so they will definitely get used. It would save my back not having to walk out there with mats and tamp the patterns into the concrete so this video got me very excited to try something new.
@@brysont312 absolutely send me the results!
Amazing. Thanks 👍
you gotter!
Chapeau Sir! 🤠
Great idea bro. Nice thinking and all. Mayne next time you should try the powder release agent.
Wow man. Super impressed with your ingenuity and creativity. Very great explanation.
Any idea how to do a slate finish? Maybe poor silicone over actual slate pieces?
That would be the way I would do it. if you want a seamless look that whould be tricky, not sure how that would be done.
Well done!
Sonotube for the roller, short cut that makes it much easier. Its very rigid, seal that, fill with sand, Marshalltown who? Nice work... save $1000-1200.
A snotube would be a much better idea. I was worried about the paper getting wet and soft. Another idea would be a 10 inch pvc pipe off-cut. Maybe next time
@@TheHowtoDad save the guts, and just replace the tube, although I will attest to their toughness, i can still see them on my deck footings poured 3 years ago, constant ground contact...lol
Very awesome tutorial. Thanks! Would you pl. furnish the mould of stone texture for pavement as well as wall. We will be pleased. Hatts off.
Great job!!
Right on bro, did a great job.
Thank you!
This is awesome.
I really appreciate your training abilities. You are a very good speaker, thank you. What a great presentation.......
Thanks for the feedback!
Good job man! Very inspirational stuff. Can i ask,im curious to know how long the silicone lasts,Did it work for a few jobs or does it fall apart after a couple of uses?
I used it for 2 jobs, seemed to hold up fine. silicone is really tough stuff! if I do it again, I'd use a 10” PVC drain pipe
Great idea.
thanks bud!
That's a really cool.way of making your own molds for concrete.. id like to see how you would do a veneer stone molding. Like 4inch tall by 30 inchs wide for a house veneers
Awesome!!! How do you know how soon you can roll it?
It looked like you might have hand troweled the wide area standing on plywood, you can wait that long?
I plan to do one 20' x 25', do you think a long pipe would be better to use than the rope?
The first day we rolled it as soon as the growling was done, it was a hot sunny day. The second day we waited about an hour after it was floated. The pros now when it's ready, for us it was trial and error. It's really dependant on the day
I found the rope to be pretty good. but perhaps if you can rig up a pipe it may work better, a 25' pipe may be difficult to handle
Nice why don't create 2 mold and use them walking over them to stamp ? Maybe the quantity of silicone. I will try it to do for floor and wall. Thanks from France man
You can buy a stamp for about $200 or rent a set for a day. I really suggest spending the $100 on a can of liquid release instead of using mineral spirits. Also, getting a brick texture to line up and look good is even hard for professionals. I'd suggest just going with a stone texture. It is way easier and looks just as good. Also, you need a good antiquing color for the top to bring out the texture. Then spend $100 on poly seal EZ sealer. Lastly. The concrete is by far the biggest cost, and you have about a one hour window to get it stamped or you will be ripping it out and redoing it which will cost more than having a profesional do it in the first place. One concrete arives, you have about 3 hours max to get the job done before it hardens up. If you have never finished concret before, you REALLY do not want to start with stamped
This true. IF you have a place to rent stamps, great. To buy A stamp for $200 is one thing, but you'll likely need a minimum of 3 stamps to make a decent pattern. Release agent is the best stuff, but it's not available everywhere (definitely not where I am). All of your points are valid! Thanks for the comment!
Do you have sense of the mass per linear foot or downpressure required? I’m debating scaling this up to a 14’ wide, 1000’ long driveway. Would be most convenient to do it with a single 14’ long roller constructed from steel, but it would help to have a ballpark for the target weight.
really depends on the pour conditions. if you wait too long you'll need more weight. too soon it will sink in.
this roller is 28" wide and weighs about 50lbs.
if you do this PLEASE send pics
you can reach me through my website www.beddeskplans.com
@@TheHowtoDad Thanks! Scaling 28" inches to 14' sounds like about 300-400 pounds which seems reasonable. Makes me wish I could pour starting at the top of the hill and working downward, but alas, I'll make do. Do you have any sense of the volume of mineral spirits required per area (e.g. per sq. yard)? That would make it easier to design a continuous drip of mineral spirits ahead of the roller. Thanks! If I do it I'll send pictures (and likely file a couple patents along the way).
@@stephenromaniello you might want to consider making multiple passes... You'll have to make control cuts, so maybe use those as your roller joints.
As for the mineral spirits, for such a large pour you'll want to use a commercially available release agent. Talk to your local concrete supplier. I am no expert.
I'm just going to say it, 14ft is way to wide. WAY to wide.
You could just buy rubber stamps set....and agree it needs to be heavier
I believe they even sell the roller stamps
a stamp set was close to $1500. this was a fun project. cost me a couple hundred to make and I learned a bunch along the way
Congrat.you sure did a great job with roller stamp,thanks for the video post more.best regards-
cool idea! I would have probably used a 12" concrete sonotube for the roller, cheap, easier. Wonder how well this would work with a slate pattern, might give it a go, got a lot of concrete to do on my house.
For sure would have been easier. That or a Pvc drain pipe. The sonotube might not work well in the wet environment
@@TheHowtoDad good call, i was just thinking that. Was trying to think cheap, pvc that size is expensive but i guess it would be worth it for a quality tool. Possibly sonotube with a good thick coating of poly would do. Cant think of anything else off the self about that size and cheap.
Call around to sewar contractors. They probably would have a 2ft off cut they'd give to you laying in their yard

Brilliant!
Love it great idea
thanks bud!
Legend, well done mate.
Thanks!
nice
You just changed my life!!!
hahahah, glad I made an impact
I am impressed
Hey! Thanks
Amazing!
Hey, just wanna ask what did you use as a release agent so that the cement won't stick to the roller?
We used Mineral spirits. I've been told cement powder works Aswell
Go with the liquid release next tie,mineral spirits have a tendency to flash on you.
great tip, thanks! this is what I had available in the area.
Does any dirt get caught in the cracks? Great video, thanks.
Nothing get caught that can't be easily swept off. It's Been in place for 3 years now, looks like new.
@@TheHowtoDad Thanks. Just a couple more questions, did you buy the concrete already 'pre colored', and do you have to seal the concrete with like a varnish or something afterwards? How did you get the release agent applied when the roller was way out in the middle of the big pad with the ropes on it? And do you poor with the mesh on the bottom of the concrete, or do you lift the reinforcing mesh up into the concrete? Thanks.
@@SeriousSchitt These are good questions for a proper concrete contractor. Try these guys: ua-cam.com/channels/5y5SeEYvz_MqPmBU_zLTyA.html
@@TheHowtoDad Really??? Go on!!! No matter how good and helpful "these guys" are, how on earth are they supposed to know what 'YOU' did in 'YOUR' particular job? I'd have thought 'YOU'D" be the guy to ask for that?
@@SeriousSchitt Ok, well for my specific job, we used 4 inch mesh, no sealer or stain, we used a sprayer to get the release in the right places. we also used a series of planks to reach out to the middle of the poor. The mesh was suspended 1 inch from the compacted base.
Very good job for a beginner Next time for mold release you can used dry cement
Good to know! Thanks for that tip
How impressive!!!!
Thanks bobbi!
What would you say the consistency should be with like quickcreate
Mix normally. The key is waiting for the poured and floated concrete to set up to a point where it will support the roller. Basically you wait until you can stick your finger into the concrete up to the first knuckle on your finger
Did you use a release agent when stamping ?
yes, we used methalated spirits. casting cement dust will also work
Ingenious....👌
Love it!
Thanks Tammy!
Kool. Have you ever tried coloring the cement while using your roller?
I want try this.
I have not tried that. I have only used the roller on one job
Well done
Your a hard work..
Makes me think of using a 55 gallon drum!
woah...that would be huge...the rims on the drum would also cause some issues...
Great video thanks!
Congratulation you did great job
wow. WOW. I kinda love you!
