Cool project! I just found your channel via Instructables. Since you've been using this a short while now, is there anything that you would recommend doing differently? Thanks for sharing!
Hey thanks so very much! This project has held up so well and I'm still so happy with it. The only think I think I might do different in the future is to not plug the screw holes on the underside of the concrete. That way I could change out the top in the future if needed. But honestly, the top is holding up great and I don't see needing to replace it. Thanks so much for watching!
love it....great idea...I may make a branch from this idea , but the sealer is sooo toxic , wish there were ways to do these things w less toxic chemicals...there have to be alternatives ,, more green products. like I would use nails instead of glue no poly urethane ugh...but thx. I'm gonna do its w/ out the chemicals thx
Nice - I would imagine (without seeing your video first mind) that doing stuff with concrete would be hard. Not so! Nice one. Got a sub from me! :-) quick question - would you think about polishing the concrete too? Cheers!
Thank you so much Rich! The concrete came out very smooth, but I imagine polishing wouldn't hurt at all if that is the look you'd like. I made a different concrete project (the side table) and because it was formed in a plastic bucket, it came out remarkably smooth. Looking forward to more concrete projects. Cheers!
Your doggies need this! I don't think the measurements are on my website, but I do know that the supplies are. If you go to makergray.com you'll see them there.
This is actually awesome. great quality video. I'm surprised it didnt get more likes
Ah thanks so much! My Chanel is still so new. They'll get here eventually :)
Excellent job! 2 circular cutouts for the bowl(s) would be beyond excellent!
Thank you! And yes, circular cut outs would be awesome!
how would have you done circular cutouts in the concrete?@@MakerGray
Nice design! I would have not used the wood piece with the knot in it, but that’s a personal choice.
Good idea....I think I will try and find some scrap marble counter top and make one.

do you have a list of supplies and measurements? thanks. I have two black labs and a foster boxer/ massif mix.
Your doggies need this! I don't think the measurements are on my website, but I do know that the supplies are. If you go to makergray.com you'll see them there.
Is there a more efficient way or technique to remove bubbles while or after boring the concrete?
The mallet has worked well for me but I've seen people use sanders (with no sandpaper attached) to vibrate the sides and pop the bubbles with success.
So how did you stop the dog bowls from sliding about on the top?
I use dog bowls that have a non skid bottom and they stay on just fine
How often does the top need to be resealed?
I've never resealed mine and have been under the impression that I won't have to. But I guess it just depends on what wear your top sees.
But there are no holes for the bowls? Will you just sit them on top?
PENGUlN124 Yep. Right there on the top.
I would love to make this too but my dog takes 80 % of the water 10 feet around the bowl after drinking :P
Hahaha I know how that goes
