- Hey! Thanks for tuning in! I hope I was able to explain it well enough to understand and follow and if you have any specific questions please let me know in the comments! I check youtube regularly so I am here to help! Have fun!!
Hands down the best video how to stamp your concrete I’ve seen. Thank you so much for sharing what you learned. Great Video!
Glad it was helpful! Thankyou so much!! I couldn’t find this type of explanation when I was researching so I figured I could fill the void
I just posted a new video thats similar to this one but I formed up stairs this time. check it out if you have time!!

Ive been in the concrete industry 17 years, and you are right concrete is forgiving. Grrqt job for your first time!
Thanks so much! So many people in the industry were so rude on my IG comments. as if I was a professional. I appreciate it!
F them! They’re just rude and mad that people like you exist & have enough courage to try doing it yourself vs hiring them… 👍
I did a second concrete project! This time its stairs, Let me know what you think! Who knew I would like concrete so much
ua-cam.com/video/-CpWu_5L7Ew/v-deo.htmlsi=edzg8fNLzfhH0_3v
What release powder did you use?
You realize you explained this process better...than most concret professionals. I have been in the building industry for over 35 years.....They just dont know that simple is the best way to teach....GREAT JOB....ABSOLUTELY
Aw thanks that means a lot!! I found it SO HARD to find anyone on here that explained it slowly with all my questions so I’m glad people are really noticing and learning from my experience!!
Its because the professionals dont want you to know how easy it is, so they can charge more $$
@@Macsaucej facts lol. Someone once asked me why I "tell trades secrets online" and my response was "There are two types of people in this world. Those people who will NEVER diy it and always pay. and those who will never pay and always DIY" like myself.
If you liked this one, I just posted my latest video but I formed up concrete steps instead. I love how they turned out!
ua-cam.com/video/-CpWu_5L7Ew/v-deo.htmlsi=edzg8fNLzfhH0_3v
You did an excellent job!!!! Thank you for showing your mistakes so we can learn from them! Not many people are willing to do that and I found this to be more helpful than other videos where everything looks picture perfect.
Thanks so much I appreciate that! I made the video that I couldn't find and really needed.
I also just posted a new concrete project. its stairs this time and I made the stamp myself from DIY silicone, let me know what you think!

Stamp and powder link?
Came really nice, especially for your first time.bag trick was really effective.
Thank you so much 😊
I just put up a new video and I used the bag technique again lol only its stairs this time! Let me know what you think
ua-cam.com/video/-CpWu_5L7Ew/v-deo.htmlsi=edzg8fNLzfhH0_3v
This is awesome! Good for you. I think you did a great job especially for your first time.
Thanks so much! It was really intimidating but I’m glad I went for it. It learned a LOT
Heres my second project!!
ua-cam.com/video/-CpWu_5L7Ew/v-deo.htmlsi=edzg8fNLzfhH0_3v
What a difference it made in the front! 👍 great job, concrete work is pretty fun, well except for the mixing and lifting the bags 😆
Literally except for that haha. I have a lot more plans I want to do now that I feel more comfortable
I have since bought a mixer, but only after my second project which I just finished. i am DONE mixing by hand lol
heres the line, its stairs this time!
ua-cam.com/video/-CpWu_5L7Ew/v-deo.htmlsi=edzg8fNLzfhH0_3v
@@dcwoodworks lol yeah lifting the bags is bad enough 😆 then mixing by hand, no way! Mixer is way to go for small jobs when the size doesn't constitute the large truck fee.
Totally!! Our backs were broken lol
Wow! Looks Amazing! May give it a try next summer. Thanks! so much for the tips.
Your so welcome! Good luck. It’s such a rewarding project. Let me know if you have any specific questions 😁
Did you try it?! Heres my second concrete project!!
ua-cam.com/video/-CpWu_5L7Ew/v-deo.htmlsi=edzg8fNLzfhH0_3v
Good freaking job put your hard work into such a successful project!!!
Thanks so much!! It felt so good to stand back and admire. I’m very proud of it
Did you want my other concrete videos? I just made stairs a few weeks ago!
You did great!!! Any info on that stamp? Planning on doing the same.
I got it on Amazon! I can find the exact link if you like?? Worked great
@@dcwoodworks May you please share the exact Amazon link? I looked there but wasn't able to find much. Great job. You just inspired a lot of people to do what you did. 👍
I love that you weren't afraid to tackle this! It looks good!
Thanks so much!! There’s not much I won’t try
Been reviewing videos for something on stamping concrete and yours is the first to actually get in to the details of the How-to. Thanks.
Thanks I really appreciate that! I was trying to find something in depth, and I couldn’t find anything so I figured I would be the one to make the video haha
Heres my second concrete project! Who knew concrete would be so satisfying lol
ua-cam.com/video/-CpWu_5L7Ew/v-deo.htmlsi=edzg8fNLzfhH0_3v
Yes, excellent, well impressed. A job to be proud of, 🏴 I've never seen the rubber stamp. Nice one🤔👏👍
Glad you enjoyed it!
Really? I’m there’s so many cool designs in the stamp. They are expensive though
Heres my second project! This time I made the stamp myself!!
ua-cam.com/video/-CpWu_5L7Ew/v-deo.htmlsi=edzg8fNLzfhH0_3v
You speak very clearly and calmly which I like.
thanks for the compliment! did you check out any of my other videos?
Heres my latest video! its concrete stairs this time

Better and Easy to Measure water per bag
I totally agree
Perfect, all I needed to know with no waffle inbetween. Thanks from the UK.
Your welcome!! No long intros, no BS, I want my videos to be straight to the point. I just uploaded another concrete project! Its stairs this time & I made the concrete stamp myself. Check it out!

Well done on the pavement! It looks stunning and the tutorial was very informative. I do similar pavement work and see it as a work of art. I subscribed to your channel and invite you to see my stamped concrete masterpieces.
Thank you very much! I really appreciate it especially from someone who does it regularly considering this was my first time. I just subbed! your work is beautiful
@@dcwoodworks I'm delighted that you enjoyed my work and I truly appreciate your support and subscription. Looking forward to sharing more with you!
@StampArtist24 let me know when you have new content out! I love to support real channels
Quest without using cement rebar/remesh chairs when you push down with the shovel you just pust down the wire mesh now you have to repull up the wire? Or you not going all the way down with shovel? I think getting the cement chairs would needed important for Ned to big jobs or iam wrong and not needed
Wait, they sell mixer blade that attached to drill or inpack drivers. When I install a Final fence on the post I needed cement I use they mixer that around $12 mixed up the cement with easy like butter
I totally beleive in it and admire the lady for her confidence and courage.
I did a little bigger area but concrete delivered was already dry and non moveable the ready mix took money in advance and left us high and dry.
I made a loss on that project of my family freind took responsebility and paid 4k from my pocket.
Now i had the same plan as this lady,i am 75 but not giving up i will do my house aroundfront and back and i am pretty sure it will turn out good and if there are minor imperfection do not care its your own job no one should look through microscope
You are so determined!
Thanks so much for your kind words
Keep at it💪🏽🔨
That was SUCH a good video!
@@richardboyle2829 I really appreciate that!! I find it hard to find informational videos So I definitely try to change that when I make content

Turned out great Denika, awesome job! 😃👍🏻👊🏻
Thank you! Cheers!
This is a great video thank you I'm definitely going to try this. 😊
You’re welcome 😊 good luck!!
have you tried it yet?! Heres another project I just did but its concrete steps!!

Daaaang, you’re not only a cutie but a hottie as well.
Betcha you make beautiful & smart babies!!.
Great job, your walkway is beautiful! Thank you so much for this video. My husband and I are attempting our first concrete stamping next week and this info helps a ton!
Good luck!! let me know if you have any detailed questions, I try to check my comments regularly
Have you done your project yet? Heres my second one only its stairs this time. Who knew concrete would be so fun?!
ua-cam.com/video/-CpWu_5L7Ew/v-deo.htmlsi=edzg8fNLzfhH0_3v
I might have missed it, but what release powder did you use (and color) and did the concrete have any pigment mixed in or color hardener added? I like the color it turned out a lot
Beautiful Smile ma'am 😍 🤎
Thanks!
Nice video. Concise, helpful and interesting. 🎉 liked and subscribed!
Awesome, thank you! I appreciate that
This looks amazing. Where did you get the spectrum concrete release powder? And what color did you use?
I got it at a local concrete supply company near me. you can also order it online. I used charcoal but it is definitely NOT charcoal (still love it though!)
Great video - I am wondering how I can use this approach for and existing concrete walkway - without consulting with me, my husband had a 34 ft. walkway laid to the front door made from ugly plain grey concrete patio stones(24x24). Your technique, if possible would pretty up this walkway - do you think it's possible for me to do??????
I think its possible for anyone to do! just dont do it over the concrete stone, remove those first
Good video! I own a concrete construction company, and we do lots of decorative construction. I highly recommend ordering the concrete from a plant for most any decorative concrete. It’s definitely higher quality concrete. A little more expensive, but for stamped concrete, it’s worth it.
Thanks! I totally agree now that I’ve done it.
We want to extend the walkway and I will absolutely be ordering it this time.
I've used a pitch fork to consolidate along the edges and release air bubble 😅 use whatever you got 😊
Gotta get it done!! 💪🏽
Great job!! It looks great. Also I like how you explained what you did wrong and how to fix it.
Glad you liked it! I want to be real and transparent on my channel so people can really learn
Hers my second project! its stairs this time :)
ua-cam.com/video/-CpWu_5L7Ew/v-deo.htmlsi=edzg8fNLzfhH0_3v
Awesome detailed video and beautiful job. Thank you so much. I will try to achieve the same great results you did.
Thanks so much. Good luck on your project!
Where can I get the stamp?
Here’s the one I bought!!

This looks amazing and such an importation for us! May I ask where you get the concrete stamp?
Thanks!! I hope I could help you. I got it off Amazon.
Well done! We may try this when we do a pad in our yard! Thanks for the tips!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it, let me know if you have any questions once you start! I definitely feel like most people can accomplish this 💪🏾

I was wondering when to start stamping. You made a great point. Thanks so much for the video.
Glad it was helpful! It took me so much research so I wanted to make a clear video
I just did a set of steps that I am so proud of, heres the video! I used similar methods only I made the stamp this time

ua-cam.com/video/-CpWu_5L7Ew/v-deo.htmlsi=edzg8fNLzfhH0_3v
Awesome video... I am planning something similar (steps not a walkway but basically the same) and I have 1 critical question.
From the moment the concrete is ready for stamping, how long do you have to work it?
I'm hoping to be able to order the concrete truck for the pour but I am a bit concerned I won't have enough time to stamp all steps before the concrete gets too dry
I wish I had a better answer as this was my concern also. My walk way is about 30 feet long and 3 feet side. I probably could of skipped mixing the concrete myself and got a truck but I wouldn't go further then that unless you have more stamps.
Some videos i've seen, they use 4-5 stamps at a time and it moves MUCH faster then with only one.
all in all I had about an hour of good working time, I could of pushed that to 1.5 hours. the concrete just starts to set up and you have to be more agressive
hope that helps!!
Well done! This looks great 👍🏾 keep it up
Thank you! Cheers!
Awesome job ! Great video with all good info. Are there any links you recommend for the stamps or power?
I got the stamp on amazon and I was shocked at how well it worked!
No one would notice an imperfection!!! People who visit don’t look that closely. Go you save your money!!!
your so right! everyone who comes over absolutely loves it!
Can do this on old concrete walkway without moving the old surface ??
This is a question. I’ve been asked a lot. And although I don’t know the true answer from a professional. I do think it’s possible.
What I would do first make sure that there are no visible signs that the ground beneath the existing concrete walkway is giving away or shifting
Second, I would absolutely poor 3 inches or more of concrete over the top . And I would also probably double the rebar that’s it. don’t skip your relief cuts either in case it ships and cracks. It will crack in those joints.
I hope that helps Maybe someone else can chime in if they’ve done this??
Great video, so excited to try to do a few stairs someday.
You can do it! I now want to pour and stamp everything 😂😂
You did an amazing job!!! 👏
Great video very helpful! But why not have an amazon store so we can order the exact stamp you are using?
That’s a great idea. I have been meaning to set that up. We have had two babies in the last 18 months so it’s been busy lol
I needed this reminder though!
i did the diy for my front and driveway. first timer and it turned out so great - just wait till you flirt with the stains and sealers - loved it
I am planning to stain it in the next month or so when the weather gets nicer here in Canada. What colour did you go with?
I still havent stained yet but I really want to. What color did you use?
Here is my newest video of concrete! its stairs! Let me know what you think

Looks really nice great job!

@@dcwoodworks That looks awesome good job !
Wonderful 👍
Thanks! I’m so happy with it
Don’t you have to seal it at the end? Just wondering.
Yup!! I didn’t video that.
Thanks for showing us how to stamp concrete. Now that I want to try to do it. I can't seem to find a place that sells the stamp. Would someone please tell me where I should look for stamps?
Awesome Job! Thanks for sharing. May you share where to find the concrete stamp mat.
Thankyou! I found it on Amazon! For a fraction of the cost
@@dcwoodworks May you please share the exact Amazon link? I looked there but wasn't able to find much. Great job. You just inspired a lot of people to do what you did. 👍
wayyyyy too much water in your mix.
Worked well for me!
@@dcwoodworks That may be true, but it does weaken the strength of the concrete.
@@dcwoodworkslooks great but he’s right. Pouring too wet significantly reduces its strength and increases the risk of cracks down the road. Great job though! 👍
Looks great!!❤
Thanks so much!
not bad for DIY. the beauty of it, is its suppose to looks rustic like a rock and those aren't perfect either. great job
Thank you very much! That’s exactly it. I’m excited to do it again in our back yard!!
heres my second concrete project!
ua-cam.com/video/-CpWu_5L7Ew/v-deo.htmlsi=edzg8fNLzfhH0_3v
Hmmm not bad but why didnt you link where you got the mold in the description?
No mask when dumping the powder.
no.
Did you make relief joints?
I did! A week after. Not filmed. I’ll show them in my updated video I’m going to post soon
You just got a sub!!!!
Great job!
Problem
Can’t find the skins on Amazon
Well at least the one or similar to the one you are using.
Maybe a brand? Would help?
Thank you again
God bless!
Thanks for subbing!! I cant find the one I bought either.. The only thing on it is a stamp on the back that says BONWAY
@@dcwoodworks Thank you for the reply.
I searched for Bondway concrete stamps.
Found them on Amazon but not the stamp you used.
What they do have is affordable stamps and rollers.
Thanks again
God Bless
@@dcwoodworks Oh, and yes I did add the “ d”
Just a simple tip! Tap the form work with a hammer 🔨 that will raise the air bubbles, and make it easier for a top finish 👍
Hi, how did you create the curving formwork , where your path turns 90 degrees in a curve?
I used 3/8 thick ply wood so its extremely bendable. but you can also use regualr ply wood but you have to cut a ton of relief cuts in it for it to bend.
use thin ply, its the easiest, just brace it a lot
@@dcwoodworks awesome thanks 👍
Hi, I do my own patio and I put the stamp on it but the all concrete is dry , what can I do
you have to stamp wet concrete. not dry
Quick question, for the 2x4 where you use for the end piece, do you take that out the 2x4 before you pour the new section, or you left it in and pour over it?
take it out! Use the hardened concrete in place of the 2x4.
are you going to pour your own??
Great job. What is the powder that you used?
Thanks! It’s called concrete release powder! It colours the concrete but also allows the stamp to release easily
What kind of form are you using?
It’s thin plywood/mirantee board. 3/8 thick
انا اعمل في هذا المجال .. انا احب هذا العمل
It’s such a great skill to have.
can you put concrete on top old old cracked concrete?
I wouldn’t and I don’t think you’re supposed to. It’ll eventually shift and crack the new concrete
Bad ass!
Where do u get your concrete stamps ?
I got them on Amazon!
@@dcwoodworks do u have a link
@@dcwoodworks May you please share the exact Amazon link? I looked there but wasn't able to find much. Great job. You just inspired a lot of people to do what you did. 👍
Great job! I have hired someone to do my patio, but now I want to do my own walkway.
Oh, you absolutely can!! I saved so much money. I’m sure it’s not to the perfection that they would do. But I absolutely love it lol.
If you end up doing your walkway, do some stairs also!! here is my new project, the second time around was even better!!
ua-cam.com/video/-CpWu_5L7Ew/v-deo.htmlsi=edzg8fNLzfhH0_3v
Wow! Good on you girl… you’ve given me an immense amount of inspiration!
I’m so glad I could inspire you!! Are you going to be pouring something on your property? Let me know if you have any questions!!
Did you try it?! Here is my second project! Im so happy with this one
ua-cam.com/video/-CpWu_5L7Ew/v-deo.htmlsi=edzg8fNLzfhH0_3v
Nice
Thanks!! It was a huge undertaking 😅
Troweling over release agent is one of the worst things u can do, it’s got animal fat in it. Imagine putting oil ontop of concrete, it’s not gonna make a good bond and u risk spalling and popping. Best thing u can do is add more powder release and stamp with same stamp again
thanks for the tip!
@@dcwoodworks u still did a really good job especially for bag mix, concrete from a truck is a lot easier to work with, u don’t have the problem with bleed water, also another tip- you can clean up the lines with a grout or regular Diamond Blade depending on the width size of the lines in your Stamp but u can pick up that at your local hardware store. You just take a grinder and make lines in the concrete, then dust a little powder in the lines before u seal, for future reference
@woozy607 thanks!! for my first time ever working with concrete in definitely proud of it
That’s a great tip. Thanks again!
Well done. Excellent work. I am about to make stepping stones for our garden and want to give them some texture/pattern. You have really help me to decide on what I could do. Thank You 👍🏻 😊
