- We are SANDING the concrete counter top! It is a little messy but it is SO worth it. They are a diamond in the rough before you sand them. I hope you get to make your own counter tops!

In May of 2015 we moved back to New Hampshire, to where we are going to reclaim our 8.5 acres, and turn it into our modern homestead. We built the house the first summer. Now we invite you along in our journey of reclaiming the land, bringing livestock back on the land, gardening, permaculture, and all of our out of the box thinking DIY projects. We are excited to document the process of bringing the land back to its natural functioning beauty, using animals, and organic techniques to help heal it and thrive.
Wow, what a wonderful,gift and great skill. You are a very blessed Man!
Love the look. I do like the dry look. Looks like stone. Great job Al. Can not wait to see the finish product.
Thanks. Yea we like the natural look too!
the music level makes this impossible to hear you over
Kill the music- very annoying!
I really enjoy watching your video's..........BUT the back ground music is WAY TO LOUD for us old farts that have hearing problems it makes it VERY hard to hear you, PLEASE turn the music down or off. Other wise GREAT JOB I like what your doing and the counter top is just lovely!!!! Thanks Bunches. God Bless You and Yours.
Hi....AL nice to see you I love to watch your video homestead thank you for sharing your video homestead chicken farmer garden bye 👋 bye 👋 👨👩👧👸👕👓🐩🐔🐓🐥🐈🐖🐕🐐🌱🏡🎥👍👍👍
Take off the music cant hear anything your saying
I admire your tenacity in tackling this massive project.I found your video production less than it could have been. The background music over rode your voice and I had to keep turning the volume up and down to avoid the incessant sanding noise. Hope that helps for future videos. We enjoy your channel and your resourcefulness.
Thanks. I dont know what happened with the audio, I am thinking it had alot to d with the sander over riding the mic. Next video it will be BETTER. I wont be sanding LOL. I like the constructive criticism, especially since it is coming from a subscriber that enjoys the channel. Thanks for the feed back and cant wait to see you on the net one! What do you think about a weekly tool review video?
All of us tool junkies are always interested in someone else's tool selection.It can help from a what and what not to buy perspective.
Turning down the sanding noise and skipping the music next time will make a more enjoyable video. Just sayin'
Looking GREAT!
Thanks! Cant wait for TUESDAY!
should have used a concrete edging tool from HD for 5-10 dollars
Next time I would use drip edge with a square edge. We used that on a different counter top and it worked AWESOME! I wanted to see what this one would give
Wonder why you didn’t continue sanding and polishing with increasing your Diamond pad number; 50, 100, 300, 800, 1250, 2,000, 3,000., 5,000. Makes it really smooth and just a touch of shine without pouring any top coating. Maybe you weren’t finished. Not sure
love it 👍
I really like the wet look. I guess I'll have to wait till next week to found out what sealer you decide to use :)
Have really enjoyed your progress on this island....you have done a great job. Can't wait to see the finish on the concrete top.
Coni R Thank you 😊 it has been a labor of love ❤️. But it has been fun and totally worth it. I can't wait 😊 either to see what it looks like once it is sealed. Bummer we have to wait 2 more weeks until the concert is fully cured
That looks great! Did your wife and daughter like move out while you did all that sanding. My wife would have!!
Thank you! They weren't around during the sanding! LOL But they got to see all the MESS! The out come is worth IT! We are happy with the final product and how little $ we have in it!
hell, I'd sand it the rest of my life if the wife and kids moved out while sanding!
AWSOME TABLE it will last a long time nice AL 👍👍
Man! You are CRAZY handy with tools!!! I watch quite a few different channels...each one leads me to another one... I usually get something from each channel, whether it be gardening know-how, meat processing know-how, pasture management know-how, and YOU inspire me to not be afraid to tackle projects and BUILD what i want!!!! We have already been tossing around the idea to build cabin from a kit..
you should have used a release agent on your forms before pouring concrete . you would have
got a better finish ,
I’m so glad I seen this, I redid my countertops not knowing wtf I was doing and was told I messed up because I used concrete with rocks, mine looks just like yours so I’m about to sand it!
Anytime I watch a video I will read some of the comments to see what people think. The # 1 complaints is the background music as on this video, there are a lot of complaints. Personally I wish they would not be any music. That's just my opinion.
granite is porous, not good for food service.
its so rough because you troweled off all the portland cement
Thanks for the tip
In curious if he didn't troweled of the water would the grid on the cement be less rough ?is that what you ment?
Kind regards rose
Your determination to make it perfect is so commendable. You never quit no matter how challenging or time consuming‼️
Doesn't look good at all. Waste of time.
I would have just hung plastic around the island from the ceiling to the floor. basically boxing in the island as a work area.
bruce lowe I wish I thought 💭 of that. GREAT 👍🏻 idea. Don't tell my WIFE. LOL
bruce lowe to
I've used mineral oil on concrete kitchen counter because it is food safe. As long as you get a pure tune oil I would think it would be food safe, mineral is so easy to get hands on and cheap.
Todd Sarnstrom Thanks. We have some pure tung oil left over from our floors. Did you like the mineral oil finish
Lumnah Acres the mineral oil looks great. Penetrates well so you protect from stains.
Turned out nice. I just poured my 4x8 island top. I poured onto puck board. I just removed it and it’s extremely shiny, to shiny. My sealer is a matte finish, I’m a little concerned if i sand it it will show the swirl marks ??
worthless audio
Al Lumnah, the farmer with many talents.
for a water source, just fill your bucket and drill a tiny hole near the bottom
great job!
how many days after the pouring did you start the sanding?
Looks awesome!
Our Florida Garden thanks!
Wet sanding with an invitation that extracts dust? Seems like it would get ruined
Hi - Thank you, that was very informative! What sealer did you end up using and did you create a video for that?
We ended up sealing it and we do have a video on that!
@@LumnahAcres Can you provide a look to that please? I tried searching, but oh boy, you have a ton of good stuff out there! Thank you.
@@LumnahAcres ua-cam.com/video/fqUwxMeuGoc/v-deo.html Found it!
How long did you let it cure before you started sanding?
Very nice job
Great video series on concrete countertops. Personally, I rather do butcher block countertops but it does look good.
Wow, have your videos ever gotten better! Hard to believe it's the same channel.
why did you play music over your talking?
Probably could get a second job, using the time it took to make and sand that concrete countertop and get granite for a countertop. How do you plan on coloring it? Surely you don't plan to leave it the color of mud.
Very nice, thanks!!!
I don't think I ever saw how the cabinets were done:(
Fun project, but the edges are really not that good looking, if it was me I would choose to have 90 degrees square edges.
That would be the one thing I would do differently next time. But that's how we role. Live and Learn and do matter the second time around! Thanks for watching
Seriously 30 grit? That's why it got rough on the top 🤣🤣
and now its broken 😢
Dude you just took years off your life not using a mast
Mask
wow that a lot of work... nice job just for information you need a mask and good ventilation maybe you did not read the specification on the bag of cement but the dust is very dangerous and cancerous, etc....
Thanks, great tip. Have you ever made a concrete counter top?
What kind of concrete was used ?
Quickcretes counter top mix
cool stuff
Thanks
Belt sander?
Can't help but think this is overkill just to use as a base for your wooden worktop ?
manofweed1 I am confused? Base for worktop?
