    Soooo I'm a professional cabinet maker and furniture maker. The half circle half laps are awesome. I learn from this guy in every video. The base build here may be one of the better base build instructional videos you can get. He shows templates, easy joinery and top attachment. I feel like DIYers may not realize how good this is. Great job man. This was fun. All very applicable techniques to a bunch of applications.

      I'm not a woodworker but I can say he makes this stuff look easy, and when to make it look easy that usually means you are very talented and it's not easy for a DIYer.

      I don't know…a few screws are the only thing keeping the base from folding. This design does look great, but has zero lateral stability, lengthwise. Clearly visible at 21:15.

      @cdurkinz 6 місяців тому

      I like the look I might make one and it was a good video. I think it needs more joinery to hold the base together though personally. One screw per cross member seems a bit skimpy. I think leaving the wood with squared corners would look better too personally.

    This is exactly how projects morph around our house. During Covid I decided to build a simple shed. During construction, it turned into 75% shed 25% Margarita bar. From there I added a window that opened onto to bar ledge. Then I added a privacy screen, then a deck area, then added a shade sail, dart board and a TV mount. It just kept morphing to become Side Bar 66.

    @23:30 I used to use the "make a little dent, then switch to a masonry bit" method, but I recently had an epiphany drilling through wood into concrete/masonry to get perfectly lined-up fixing holes. Use a multi material bit. When you get through the wood just switch your drill to hammer mode and carry on drilling. You can then widen out the hole in the concrete/masonry to the correct size for your wall plug easily and accurately.
    Love the circular half laps btw. Great project.

    1. It’s called a screed. 2. Just know that in the future, you can add a powder water expander to your mix. It’s crazy how it seems like you over water the concrete without over watering. Doing this allows the mix to settle wayyyy better and it also allows for the air bubbles to be vibrated out so much easier.

    In my experience, concrete counter companies first spray into the form a layer of concrete without fiberglass then pack in the fiber layer, so I was pleasantly surprised how good your counter looked just doing one fiber pour. That is very helpful as I'm planning to do some counters in the future and obviously much easier your way.

Wont cause cracking and you can cut it with a metal cut off wheel.

    Concrete screeding is a process in concrete work where poured concrete is flattened into a smooth layer before the surface is finished. Screeding concrete is the first step in the finishing process and helps fill in gaps in the concrete surface while removing uneven high spots. Also now known as scrowding.
