Very true. Lot of guys in the business who are owner/operatirs & have done a lot of work themselves for years are impatient & end up running off new people just starting.
@@tristancarter5752 thats rough when i first started in construction i was cussed out so much it was shit. Finally after 3 months i told the owner to fuck off and just walked off site. At a different job now a lot more experience, higher wage and way more content going to work.
@@tristancarter5752I’m in the cement masons union and I’ve worked for some assholes , worst people on the planet , no patience , glad I work with some badass finishers that teach me and have patience
Having watched a lot of videos on how to screed this is the best, having A beginner on the tool really helps the trainer get the message across Many thanks for your video
Hello from Sulphur Springs Indiana USA. I have been using the Ox screed and I love it. Thanks for all the tips and tricks. I've been doing a concrete apron around my place and I know what you mean about Americans and the bull float because all the concrete drivers look at me like I'm a Martian when I grab the Ox screed before the bull.
Thanks this video really helped. I’m going to work with my dads mate that he knows who has his own concreting business next weekend and I’m going to get all the basics and see how hard it is👍
I got one of those combo screeds !! I got one question for ya, mine has a round edge and a square edge dose it matter witch edge i run towards me. Mostly i screed with the square edge to me and it dose a nice job. Just trying to make sure I'm doing it right
Thanks for the Videos! I’m a concrete contractor here in the states and we do things very different than you guys do. It’s cool to see the different ways of screeding! You are damned good with a screed board and You do an exceptional job of getting it flat! And while screeding you’re sealing the concrete as well. Not a bullfloat finish of course but more of a seal than we get with 2x4 screeds. You guys do a better job setting up than we do here. You use more rebar and it looks like you pour thicker slabs on the average than we do. Our commercial concrete better equates to your residential set ups. Just curious.... most of our exterior concrete walks and driveways are 4” thick. Everything I’ve seen you pour looks thicker? What additives do you guys use for your warmer climate? We pour 5-sack mix for most slabs. Liquid air entrainment for exterior. I use a hydration additive when we get to 85-90 degrees Fahrenheit. When it’s cold here we will use calcium or a non calcium Excelerator. You seem to pour using the same slumps as we do. 5-7 inch slump depending Thanks again for Vids!
HciContractor thanks bro for watching and also thanks for your awesome comments it’s good to see what people do differently in different countries . In Australia we have a lot of rules we have to stick by when we pour concrete . Most of our mixes are pretty basic we have between 20 MPA and 45MPA and will use 20 mil stone most of the time . Between 60 and 100 slump 👊
@@OdellCompleteConcrete Thanks mate thanks for watching and I also like watching your videos to see how you guys do it how are your two boys going they still working with you
@@concreteninja Yea they’re doing good, working concrete everyday.. they also film and edit all the content. I wish I could have you screed all my jobs, I see the quality 🔥
@@OdellCompleteConcrete thanks mate one day I’ll come over my channel starting to make a bit more money so maybe in the future I should be able to afford to come over and do some work with you guys for a couple of weeks .
Hi Ninfa. Style. I want to learn how to do screed concrete. What’s the trick to doit ?? Do you press down hard the screed. Concrete it’s hard please reply thanks .
Bra... I can only wish my foreman was this nice and patient with how he was teaching me to screed! 😂 It’s so true that practice makes perfect and knowing what you can leave and get away with, the more you do it the more you get comfortable! Ohhh and also knowing to keep your feet a little further back too for longer pulls! 😉👌🏻 lol good stuff ninja
Thanks a heap Ninja and it looks great Richie, well done mate. Can't wait for my next concreting job so I can have another go at screeding. Plus I want a nice Masterfinish screed this time. These tips are just great Ninja, thanks again mate!!!
everyone commenting on how hes a good teacher, you just got him on a good day I saw a video where he basically kicks nathan off the screed when he had his own lmao
I have never done concreting and I have to do a 6 mtr by 6 mtr slab for my garage by myself 😣 watching as many of your video’s as I can. It does not have to be perfect and I’m sure it will turn out acceptable but I’m still worried.
Hey mate just wondering on some tips to get into the concrete game like how to get a job and what skills do I need to be a labourer or some that is mate
Not to many of those types of screeds in the States. Most people use Aluminum or Magnesium 2x4. They vary from 6 feet to 24 feet long I wonder why? Anyways good content as always! 👍
i hope i didnt look like that my first time ;( tell the kid to clean his edges first and when your first teaching someone its always easier if you go around and clean and float the edges for them so they can understand grade when they leave there cut line
Yep the old sideways action helps you cut it and the back and forth in a straight line to close up. Better be in a rhythm with your guy on a 2 man screed when it's stiff and you need to walk it sideways. I had to work with a first year kid today that couldn't pull. Great day. I'd take your boy over that kid.
5/4 finesse. Done differently all over the world. Here’s the link where I found those screeds in the states www.amazon.com/dp/B0713RKS6H/ref=cm_sw_r_fa_dp_U_F9YuBb1WHN91D?pldnSite=1 .
You definitely don’t know what you’re looking at them where in Australia buddy, if we took four hours to empty a truck, I think the truck will be off in the barrel . 😀
This guy was learning how to do it for the first time and we just done a massive slab behind him, he was just playing and learning because we have the time
It is good that your teacher is patient and encouraging, rather than yelling and criticizing every mistake you make. More a lesson on how to teach!
Very true. Lot of guys in the business who are owner/operatirs & have done a lot of work themselves for years are impatient & end up running off new people just starting.
I'm an apprentice that gets yelled at all day and it's fucked

Great video mate gotta teach the young ones !!

BIG FACTS BROTHER SMOOTH CONCRETE DOES NOT MEAN ITS FLAT CONCRETE 👊
Bosco Da Pro yes flat and smooth are two different things 👊
everyone commenting on how hes a good teacher, you just got him on a good day I saw a video where he basically kicks nathan off the screed when he had his own lmao
I have never done concreting and I have to do a 6 mtr by 6 mtr slab for my garage by myself 😣 watching as many of your video’s as I can. It does not have to be perfect and I’m sure it will turn out acceptable but I’m still worried.
Hey mate just wondering on some tips to get into the concrete game like how to get a job and what skills do I need to be a labourer or some that is mate
joshua kuhne hey bro Best way to get a job as a concrete labra is to do what you’re told and work to your best ability and don’t talk back 👊👌
Sounds like a stupid question but when you have rio with the chairs and your spreading concrete how do you not bust the chairs?
Where can I purchase one of these screeds?
Hey mate just a beginner question here do you have the rounded edge of the screed to the front or the back?
Amy Quartley do you want your sharp edge close to you
Nar fam get ya straight edge pull it and float trowel edges nice Bob on
Another solid video Concrete Ninja. Check your discussion tab. Left a query.
Morgan Roberts thanks bro I’ll have a look 👊
Good job mate
RUBEN CRUZ thanks mate
Looks a little too dry and that’s why he’s struggling with it
Anyone in Melbourne feel like teaching me how to screed and finish 😂😂😂
What slump are you pouring?
BTW I like your videos.
Michael Mohan I think it was about 80 slump
80?
Looks very dry
Good on ya for helping him you could have let him fail. Richard should say thanks to the ninja.
Ritchie you will get there 😎👍
Greg Brown 👊👌
A Channel float you can! It's the low spots you gotta worry about or use pans and a bump cutter for super flat...... But anyway good job!
You guys are awesome too you're teaching the right way great job didn't mean no offense
Ray Karkoff thanks Ray appreciate the comment 👍
You're a good teacher man well done

Concrete ninja how am I a dick head when I said I never seen 1, I asked you earlier about the handle but u still haven't responded
Bosco Da Pro sorry mate
Bosco Da Pro in Australia all our screeds have handles on them
i wish i can be your apprentice ninja
Muy pollos para trabajar en california.

Does this ruin your back or what?

Beginners shouldn't be screeding concrete 😊

Jimmy Stuckey awesome bro thank you
you should talk louder over the job being done. I really wanted to hear the trainer talk.
I was always told by my old man the more you stir it the more it stinks!! Leave it alone!!
Even A beginner can go faster than that
I lost brain cells watching this
You probably should be careful.. people like you didn't have many to begin with.
It must take like 4 hours to pour a truck out.
Yall move like tortugas
You definitely don’t know what you’re looking at them where in Australia buddy, if we took four hours to empty a truck, I think the truck will be off in the barrel . 😀

I just this yall play with the mud too much that's all
