Concrete Sink

How to make a concrete vanity sink.

[@alexandremateus5676]

Immediately I gave you a "like" when you start to talk about the words of your wife. You Know, we do everything for them!

[@DavidVossberg]

Thank you and yes we do!

[@Spad68]

Could no agree more .

[@julientiler]

total agree.

[@runsontrails3091]

David that turned out incredible. I’m building a sauna bathroom and I want this look so I’m going to attempt your plan. Thank you.
I was in Tanzania, Africa and the way they used chicken wire wire and concrete showed me many things can be done with some thought. This was beautiful.

[@DavidVossberg]

Thank you very much! I wish you good luck with your sauna project and hope it turns out great! Chicken wire sounds like it could be very useful to mold shapes. Wish I thought of it :)

[@kdent865]

When you started with the epoxy... lol.. I wondered if you just like adding work. But it gave the inside a beautiful finish while leaving the outside rough. I will certainly remember this technique. Thanks. Also, I really like the way you put together the backsplash. Simple, with a touch of class. Kelly from ontario

[@DavidVossberg]

Thank you Kelly! I appreciate the kind words!

[@dalewalford2630]

Great job. The sink has perfect dimensions for the space. Looks like a Belfast Sink (uk name) but this looks way better. The colour match is perfect too. Nice job notching out the drawers to maximise space too. Liked + Suscribed!

[@DavidVossberg]

Thanks Dale! I really appreciate how nice, thoughtful and detailed your comments are. And thank you for the "Like" and "Subscribed"

[@jujopobadora7571]

your pretty sweet and thoughtful towards your wife..and funny too..i really like the sink and the drawer design..liked and subscribed too!..God bless!

[@DavidVossberg]

Thank you for you kind words and for liking and subscribing!!

[@soc7194]

"that's not really working that well" I love it! I learned more from your mistakes than other professional clips so I watched boring long ads to support you haha

[@DavidVossberg]

I'm glad you were able to learn some things! I know there were a lot of mistakes in there lol. Thanks for watching the boring ads in support of me. I really do appreciate that!

[@civicfire99]

Great job man. When you were thinking about using the straw to caulk around the sink form...at that point I would have thrown everything away and given up completely lol. Glad you pushed through it. Looks awesome!

[@DavidVossberg]

Thank you for the kind words. Yes I almost had a panic attack at that point 😳.

[@civicfire99]

@@DavidVossberg Though I'm wondering what kind of edge you would get without caulk. I assume it would just a be a bit of bleedout that you could polish, but perhaps you'd end up with exposed aggregate after polishing. I'm not sure. I've envisioned some forms that are just too tight to be able to caulk all the interior edges, but I haven't completed a pour with these forms yet.

[@DavidVossberg]

@@civicfire99 you could probably do that and then wet sand it. I made some concrete planters (I still need to make the video) and I dry and wet sanded the edges. They came out pretty good.

Looks great mate. Thanks for the tips. And I like the Mustang that's hiding away too.

Thanks and you're welcome. Lol it was my son's.

[@tglenn13]

A fine video showing each step and worth watching to the end. You crafted a beautiful sink and vanity cabinet. Cannot let my wife see this. She will believe it something I could do. Thanks, we enjoyed your presentation.💯 💰💰💰💰🏁

[@DavidVossberg]

Thank you so much for watching and for your kind words!

[@Pi3.1419]

Your bathroom looks fantastic, I've got those matt black taps as well and love them. Your sink turned out amazing great job. I'm about to pour my BBQ counter top bench, hopefully it turns out as good as your concrete pour. Thanks for the tips 👍

[@DavidVossberg]

Good luck with your BBQ top. I hope it goes great!! It is rewarding to use something you have made. Thanks for the kind words.

[@brianbraynen4178]

Great job,....hope you don't mind me making two suggestions,around the cut outs in the drawers add ralis so that stuff don't drop out the backs into the vanity and also use a water base concrete acrylic sealer on the piece

[@DavidVossberg]

Thanks for watching and thank you for your suggestions. Those are both great ideas and I appreciate it!

[@griseldamolina2096]

Muchas GRACIAS , SALUDOS DESDE ARGENTINA

Your intro seemed so enthused!! Lol Love it. Beautiful job.

[@DavidVossberg]

Thank you I really appreciate you watching!

[@MothCoh]

you could totally make music from the sound coming off that palm sander 😂😂, amazing job by the way!! I have just done a concrete island bench and starting to think about the next project... this might be it

[@DavidVossberg]

Thanks, I appreciate the kind words. Hope your project comes out even better!

[@MrAnderson3]

Mate your sink looks so much better than the other one. Your one actually looks like a rustic concrete sink which is what you want! Good work bro👏👏

[@DavidVossberg]

Thanks man I really appreciate it!!

[@garycloutier4841]

Great job David, very well done. Can’t wait to try it on my outdoor kitchen.

[@DavidVossberg]

Thank you all the way in Bali! Glad you loved it!

[@gailmrutland6508]

*I love it. No rebar necessary? Too bad the form had to be destroyed, must be a way for a quick release agent to save all that work. Thanks for the vid, VERY helpful!*

[@DavidVossberg]

With that brand of concrete no rebar is necessary which was great for me. I definitely learned a number of things the hard way and having a release agent would have been glorious lol. Thanks for watching!!

[@boots7859]

Need to build a similar one for a dog bath, so your vid was educational. Only change I'd make is finding a some sort of plastic container for bowl shape. Fill box 1/2 way with concrete, add 'bowl' with weight in it, then fill rest up to top.
Might need a release agent or wax. For a utility sink though, I think normal procedure is to just make a large and small box out of plywood, little sanding and some silicone or hot-glue on the seams.

[@DavidVossberg]

Good luck with the dog bath!

Great Job David, I Enjoyed to watch and learned a lot ,Thank You...

[@DavidVossberg]

Hey thank you so much. I’m glad you enjoyed it.

[@joyenglish1275]

If your wife does any gardening then you could use that tiny cement sink outside in a garden shed. Makes washing vegetables, pots and anything else that gets dirty easier and less dragging it in the house.

[@DavidVossberg]

Thank you that’s a great idea.

[@joyenglish1275]

@@DavidVossberg just saying because i have one. I can take off super dirty shoes outside in the shed and no need for special plumbing. Just have it drain straight into the garden. Water could just be a hose attachment and when not in use just disconnect it.

[@DavidVossberg]

Thank you. We will probably set up a planting station with it after the winter. She does enjoy her flowers. Appreciate the idea!

[@lovemyHK]

[@vtlady52]

WOW! When I started watching, I did it to see if I could do concrete sinks for my bathroom. After watching what you had to do to achieve that amazing sink, I changed my mind. I will purchase sinks for the vanity. You are meticulous and careful. I was impressed! I just love the bath. Amazing quality, great colors, choices. Really beautiful.

[@DavidVossberg]

Thank you so much for all the kind words. If you have the time I would recommend trying to do one. It’s satisfying and I probably made it look harder than it actually is. Good luck!

[@COEXIST-ny4db]

Im NOT gonna lie. The bathroom of beautiful. But the way that sink turned out is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! What a wonderful job you did!!
Can I ask if you figured out the all in all price?? Cost vs. Purchasing one already complete?? You did WONDERFUL!!!

[@DavidVossberg]

Thank you for your kind words! I really appreciate it. I am afraid to figure out the all in price of making it if I include my time lol. Just products it was probably under $80. Thanks again for watching and your kindness!

[@DavidVossberg]

Thank you. I used 3/4” melamine. The drywall mud was used to fill any voids in the rigid insulation form and for overall smoothness of the form. Hope that helps.

Great video and beautiful sink. Could the inner mould not have been a simple timber frame like the outer frame, would have pulled out easier too if it was greased?

[@DavidVossberg]

Thank you very much. You are probably right about the inner mould. There were definitely a lot of lessons learned.

[@ronherkey148]

Great engenunity to get the job done. Bravo on the final product.
But you spend a LOT of time and effort making that mold... probably too much VS just buying a sink itself... Especially for the average DIYer....

great design. Is there no problem with keeping the sink clean? The surface was not secured with anything, right? Thanks and greetings.

[@DavidVossberg]

Thank you. We haven't had a problem with keeping it clean so far. It is in the powder room though so it gets infrequent usage. I didn't secure it with anything because the weight of it keeps it in place. Hope this helps!

Cool. I'm going to attempt a farm sink for my wife. I've made concrete counters and she likes the look so now she wants a farm sink to match, wish me luck. One thing, I used WD-40 as a release agent on my counter forms and it worked great, did you use anything as a release agent? I thought it might make it easier to get the form out.

[@xsteel3292]

Will you have to seal the inside of the sink each year to keep it waterproof? Great job btw! You might want to put silicone caulk under it so it won't move. just an idea.

[@DavidVossberg]

I’m not sure about sealing it every year. It’s in our powder room which isn’t used that often so I doubt it. Thanks for the silicone idea and thanks for watching and the kind words.

You missed the part where you gotta enlist your 8 year olds daughter to squeeze her tiny arms in to scrape the excess caulking down at the bottom nod the form after it’s cured.
Ask me how I know 🤣🤣
Sink looks great! I’ll be using a foam form the tile round. Last two farmhouse sinks I did I used wood and fiberglass epoxy with mixed results. I like your foam form much better.

[@DavidVossberg]

Thank you. Yes next time I will definitely find some smaller arms lol!

[@bellagio88]

Do you have to glue the sink to the table top or is the weight enough to keep it from moving ? It looked like you could move it pretty easily.

[@DavidVossberg]

I didn't have to because it was heavy enough to not move. Also this is in our powder room so it gets minimal usage. You could easily apply some silicone under it to keep it from moving if needed. Thanks!

[@neilf4128]

Hi. what kind of angle grinder and sanding disc accessories did you use to remove the epoxy drips? Thanks for your help and video.

[@DavidVossberg]

Just a 4” grinder with a sanding disk and 50 grit sanding pad. Thanks for watching!

[@armandodiaz67]

Looks great. I'm gonna try this myself. I think if you would have sprayed the mold with WD40 it would have released easier.
