MUY buena calidad, el texto imagenes. ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxbnOKZBE4evMO5V2vroHeCjq6d_MV6wJO Un manuel muy completo y trabajado. Resulta muy práctico. Para principiantes y profesionales. Lo recomiendo
I use a orbital sander with no paper to vibrate the sides. Works great
He should have done that. He has loads of imperfections on his edges
I love my concrete counters 8 years after doing them myself using this same system. One pro tip - drape sheet plastic over the fronts of the counters before installing the Hardie Board - it cuts away easily after pouring and polishing, but makes cleanup MUCH faster.
Work Smarter, Not harder! Great tip!!!!
definitely! cheap plastic drop clothes will save your rear-end on clean up.
Thanks
I'll do this when I do mine this summer. Thanks
over the fronts? didn't he do that?
Lots of great tips in this video. Really appreciate your fast pace, hitting all the important details without lingering.
I did some custom cement counter tops over a decade ago from scratch - Here's another very cool tip!! Buy white cement, use white sand, buy yellow oxide powder and you can literally tint it to a light river sand color. Now - use a white powder cement waterproofer in the cement mix, this will give you a tuscan look with varying tints of the same color - plus it makes the sealer go alot further cos it wont soak in as much - Once you put on the epoxy resin (or whatever sealer) the colors will look amazing. . They bleed out and it really makes form some amazing results - Takes some experimenting but well worth looking into!
One important note - for large counter tops that require multiple mixes - mix all the dry goods together first - that way you get a consistent look!
This is my own self designed system - done a few jobs and always comes out awesome looking.
You mention the powder cement waterproofer in the mix, can you clarify the process you're talking about?
@@drewkaree i found a waterproofing powder as opposed to liquid ones.. it helped not soaking up so much of the clear coat (pollyurethane resin - smelly stuff but cure quick :) - but having recently been using epoxy resin the soaking up is not so much an issue. This was over seas but im sure lime powder would have the same effect- it basically gae a really beautiful tuscan/victorian look, like old Italian ceilings.
Nice tips Mr Burns!
That sounds so cool! Care to post pictures (over on imgur for instance)? Cheers!
Sounds like an awesome idea but also like you would take a little bit of work to get all those ingredients cuz I doubt home Depot has yellow oxide tinting whatever. Cool idea though
Bless this man for bringing us all 3:00am content
2:05am here lol
I went 18" floor title for counter top. They look like Italian Marble.. Its a eye attraction. Every one loves it. I do myself > I made it all by my self! Only took a week in my spare time. Pulling the sink out, and update it! Took the most time
Ya know, most videos I've seen on the tube include a lot of finish sanding to smooth the concrete out, kudos to you showing that patience, and a light touch during smoothing leaves a smooth top.
I am literally not lookin to do absolutely nothing to my countertop I just watched this because I was bored and this seemed satisfying😂
same
The wonders of youtube selection algorithms, eh?
Yeah I dont even own a house yet. This is just interesting and you cant be too knowledgeable lol
Same lol
youtube recommended gang
maybe a slight bevel or round on those edges, they look quite brittle and would be prone to chipping.
That’s exactly what I was thinking about. I would hate to see one of those edges get chipped off
Any edging tool used same as doing a sidewalk or drive would work. From the very slight 1/4” edge right up to a bold 1” radius edge.
I used to cut pvc pipe to create lower bullnose forms when doing house steps. Then used a matching (or reasonably close) edger to do the top edge.
(But I’d have steeled to surface more than just the once? To give a harder polished surface.)
Awesome! Screwing in the boards from the top and then adding concrete so it can never be removed again is such a smart idea...
This is by far the best tutorial I've seen for this method of countertops. You're a good communicator and teacher and you went over those very important details that a lot of people miss such as: DON'T USE A STEEL TROW BEFORE THE FLOAT, AND NOT TOO EARLY!. I screwed up an entire countertop that way.
After UA-cam kept recommending this video more than 8 times, I finally caved in and watched it. I felt dirty and cheap BUT I’m glad I did. I was not disappointed! Great tutorial!!
As a decorative mason i love this video never heard of the concrete solutions countertop forms, definately will use in the future. However a good tip for getting a nice "beveled" or "bullnose" edge without having to grind or router it is to use a bead of silicone caulk in every hard corner of your form and use a caulk tool or your finger to give it a nice rounded edge.saves time and money so you dont need to buy a router or expensive concrete beveling blade
Color matching epoxy to concrete and epoxying the the original counters saves far more time and far more money
@@yzrippin not the point of this video though. It’s for people who want concrete counters……..
A few small tips that could come in handy-
Cover hardy backer with plastic, will further dry time.
Use a long level to check from as many angles as possible. There's a lot of trust in the cabinets 'levelness' in using the forms.
Use a longer mag trowel in initial screed, long enough to touch front to back.
Vibrate under countertop (palm sanders work well) to get best consistency.
Use a pool trowel to further finish concrete* (tricky but rewarding)
Sand countertops with fine grit before seal.
Knock down sharp edges with sand paper or stone.
Pretty good video overall, but could use a few pointers.
Exactly he skipped the sanding part witch is an important step for a proper finish product.
Does the sanding work with sand topping mix? I assumed it would pull sand granules. I've never used sand topping mix on projects like this however.
Probably would have looked better and stronger if he used some aggregate and chamfered edges
I love the look, the simplicity of clean lines!! Perfect modern finish, perfection! Really well done 👍
The way you speak. No ands or uhms. So refreshing. You deserve any more views. You could have a show
Enjoyed seeing it come together! That’s awesome how the fronts of the form just snap off. Great job explaining it!
My wife recently asked about concrete counters when we were discussing some renovations.
I told her I could do it, after a little research. The last time I saw it done was over 30 years ago.
Your video was refreshing to see there have been some innovations in the industry to make it a lot more user friendly.
Thanks for the video.
Tile is so hard to get. Cause there either isn't enough to do a whole kitchen. So it took me 4 months to get enough title. AND THE TYPE OF TITLE I WANTED > To start the job... It was worth the wait. IT EASY TO CLEAN, AND VERY DURABLE > to cutting on it, banging on it. hot and cold skillets and things. Plus if you spill some thing on it. IT DON'T RUN ALL OVER THE TOP. It pretty much stays there > I like this title so much that i did all the window seal bottoms in it. A Deep freeze top for a butcher table, and a bar. Not counting all the Kitchen. It gave my log cabin new life. and made it look AWESOME 👍
I love what's written on your shirt, Kind of similar with what I wrote in my wall "Work hard, stay humble"
The best video on concrete countertops yet! I absolutely love your channel, and I'm glad to be learning so much from an Oregonian.
Love the way you are so matter of fact and explain all. I feel after watching I may actually be able to attempt this! I look forward to seeing your other videos. This looks awesome. Love concrete countertops. Thank you!
Awesome video. Everything you did made perfect sense and you made everything so easy to replicate. This is the 1st no-nonsense concrete countertop educational video I’ve seen so far. Others just make it so difficult to make and time consuming. Thank you!
Dude...one of the best instructional videos Ive watched....so clear, paced right so really easy to follow...Im planning to do an island and also need to drop a stove top appliance or a fitted sink into a single long run...will check out the coloring process too.. thanks
i don't even have a countertop, or kitchen, or house, and I still watched this
🤣
LOLLLLL same,
Lollllll
Me too
I actually offered my landlord a replacement of cheap, shitty solutions (which I'd simply consider as flaws if I were buying the property) for a few months off my rent. You can do this stuff even when you don't own a house!
So nicely done! Really look gorgeous! Best tutorial I've ever come across. Thank you man!
At 57 I love diys and is excited to do my own counter top. This have answered a lot of questions I had. Great job.
Nice job. Best DIY instructor I've seen. I finished watching this video and had absolutely no questions at the end.
This technique works great for stepping stones, walls, bath tubs, showers, etc....adding pea gravel and other decorative aggregates are a neat touch for grinding/polishing later.
We are new to the diy concrete countertops, but your video makes it very easy to follow and understand. Awesome work and thanks for sharing this!
Thanks for the video. I’ve poured thousands of yards of concrete on the ground but never done a counter top. This is very helpful.
Thanks for such a detailed, comprehensive and entertaining tutorial. You truly took the mysticism out of doing your own concrete countertop. You're awesome!
Love the humor 😄 and a damn good 👍 👌 salesman
Looks like a great system to work with. We’ve been thinking about adding concrete countertops and you may have helped us decide.
I pour concrete for a living for about 6 yrs so far in out town nobody doing concrete countertops! I’m about to advertise countertops lol, thanks for the video learned I’ll I needed about the forming! I have the mixing and finishing covered 😂 they call me slick Rick 😅
I've been thinking about building cabinets and doing a concrete countertop at my garage but it just seemed like kind of a big crazy project, but after seeing your cabinet video and now seeing that you have a concrete countertop video I might just dive in! Really appreciate these awesome videos brother
Somehow I stumbled into this video and stayed for the whole thing. DAMN they came out sharp!! Great job!
The ones I put in my kitchen at my old house looked so nice. Made my edge forms out of this triangle strip of wood we used when we pored columns. It gave the edge a classic 45° angle then I polishes them to a glass finish we had sage color added to it and little lime stones instead of pea gravel. It looked great.
How did you polish the concrete top?
This was such a wonderful video I am very limited on my budget and I think that I can do this I've always wanted concrete countertops anyway and now with that chips you showed it looks amazing thank you for posting this I can't wait to do my own
I’m getting prepared to pour countertops on my outdoor kitchen. Since it’s my first time, I’m a little nervous. Your video is very detailed and describes the finishing very well. I now have more confidence. Great video!
I've been considering concrete, but thought it would be a lot more work, and hadn't realised there were proper stuff to do it with. Really useful video thanks...
We just bought a house built in 1959 and can’t wait to try this out! Thanks for the help!
Concrete is horrible, dont do it
@@stephenbatman33 agreed, imagine needing to fix it, or making a hole in it for a new appliance in a few years... Yikes
@@sararojas5315 You can fix concrete a lot easier (and cheaper) than Quartz/Granite.
Concrete is for millenial retards.
Great job! Awesome results. 2 million views plus, that's even more impressive. Good luck on all your future projects, keep sharing these awesome videos with us. Thanks.
This is exactly what I was looking for! Thanks so much for these great videos .
Happy New subscriber right here! Yep. Great fit for this chick. I’m doing my own, so this was by far the best channel out there with all kinds of “save your butt “ mistake saving tips.
2 years later, and this is still helping people. I am planning an outdoor kitchen with concrete counter tops. So I won't have so much of the 'mess' issues. Those forms seem like a perfect solution. I have seen other videos where you can use a sander to vibrate the form and underside of the counter to absolutely eliminate bubbles.
Did you finish your project? How did it turn out? Did you use a sander to eliminate bubbles?
Absolutely NO IDEA how or why I came to watch this video. I’m on the computer putting together a business presentation. But glad I did. Well done!
Awesome...you make it look effortless...great job! I love the finish product
you do a great job of giving step by step instruction!!!
Concrete Counter tops have always been super scary to me. Definitely going to try this now! Thanks!
Thank you so much for the detailed tutorial. My husband and I are considering this technique for the shower floor.
Thank you so much this was the most simple application for a concrete bench i have seen on the internet. Good on you for using the KISS principle. I love your content thanks so much. Emma
Gorgeous!!! I’ll definitely be referencing this video when we install ours. Thanks!!
Found another use for my wife's hitachi magic wand "back" massager. Run that baby along the form to get those bubbles out
Lol Why hasn’t anyone else commented on your comment it’s fucking hilarious
LOL
Lmao
I just use my girl dildo and slap the edges
buzzbox sander with no paper on it works great for getting the bubbles out.
Thanks a lot, am just a 20year old teen looking forward to learning this kind of stuff and your instructions are easy to follow thank! You!😁
How tf are you a 20 year old teen? LMAOOO 😂💀😂💀
I did that in 2016. They still look good
Love this. The finished product looked awesome and you're gorgeous! 😍
This video is how I found your channel Jason. My wife said a firm NO to concrete in our kitchen, but my outdoor kitchen will definitely utilize this method. Love everything that’s followed!
This isn't exactly a "wife approved" countertop. You have to really enjoy the look of concrete to put it in your home like that. The end product literally looks like a sidewalk. I'm curious, did you ever end up doing it to the outdoor kitchen?
Super presentation and education resource, hi from New Zealand
You my friend are a true artist with your hands thank you for your time and effort you put in to your videos
Thanks so much man. I just subscribed. Ever since my dad passed away few years ago I have been having to learn all this DIY stuff on my own. Many things have been challenging... so its all helpful to see how others are completing the job. I’m going to be removing a portion of a non load bearing wall in between our kitchen and adding a bar area w/ concrete counter. Wish me luck.
Your story is just like mine man. Adding a bar in my kitchen where a load bearing wall is and my dad passed on some years ago. Learning all this diy stuff is challenging. Sure wish my old man was here to teach me this stuff
Look at those GUNZ...
Concept is ok. I’ve see them wear they use real concrete. They grind the tops (use a industrial vacuum cleaner) it brings out the colours in the stone. Really nice and colourful
Cheers have a great day
thanks to this video I now have significantly more countertop space and dope breakfast bar with coffee station. all made with z form countertop molds and using this video as instruction. thanks man.
Tip - put the water in the bucket first, add the dry ingredients to the water. No dust and easier to mix.
Sick bro!
There is still dust
This was pretty cool. I dont even own a home, but yet I thoroughly enjoyed watching this. I like how the countertops turned out.
All
You're so good at answering every single question before we know we have them. Thanks!
WOW what an awesome system. I'm totally going to use this in the future.
Wow I love the progression on doing these counter tops. These forms...my god! I did my own CC tops 15 yrs ago and used Melamine forms and wire mesh-which I thought worked well too. PITA!! I used a mix called "Sakrete 5000". It had fiber mesh, mostly sand and Portland. No aggregate. I used 3 layers of colored acid stains to make a patina which looked sick. Could you have stained these counter tops before you sealed them? Nice work man.
Add some colour hardener and trowel that in and you got your own masterpiece!
Beautiful job! Awesome video!
Thanks 🙏🏽
Well done!! I love the concrete look. That would be awesome to haven in my kitchen next hopefully soon. We have all our floors concrete stained...rustic color. Thanks for sharing your gifted talent it was amazing to watch.
This will be my next project, but I’ll be trying out their white countertop mix. Thanks for the helpful video!
Big Smoke weirdo
I was thinking about white , hmmm - gray looks kinda sad.
this is probably a bad time to mention my floors aren't level.
Self leveling compound
Level cabinets is what's important.
gabrielle bourbonnais exactly. Anyone who’s set cabinets knows this.
Use a laser leveler to level your cabinets. I saw a "this old house" do an episode on it. If I can do it you can too.
@@mmebourbonnais yeah more often then not floors aren't level.
Coolest video I've watched in a while. Comments are positive and FULL of cool tips and tricks. You guys get me inspired for my home projects! Also know your married and such but love the beard and aesthetic - very handsome:)
Thanks for sharing have a great day!!!!!!
love how you just leave the dishes in the cabinets below ... Im glad to see your using rigid tools I like my tool to be rigid aswell wife is a fan also
When I worked as for 3M as a travling hard floor teck, I was able to make a concrete floor look li,e a sheet of glass with the diamond pads on a swing machine. Those diamond pads would fit to a disk sander and could be used on this before sealing it. Just an idea.
Good stuff! I like how you were straight to the point about everything and how this works. Great video,keep up the good work. Btw I just subscribed
Excellent video as usual 👍. There is only one think different I would have done, only because I've watched a ton of videos on the subject, would be to trim the hardie board 1/4 to 1/2 inch in the stove opening on each side, to hide the hardie board and having it show only concrete. 👍
Any diyers who use concrete the best tip ive learnt for slabs was getting a jig saw taking the blade out and just letting the tools do its work on the form no air holes n completely compact
Oh, my local Home Depot didn't have the sand top concrete. A 20 minute drive to Lowes took care of that problem.
bourbon moth: "make sure you get sand top concrete, not just sand"
me after pouring pure sand into my forms: "FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK"
No way!
😂😂😂
I didn't realize why my countertop would not get hard. Without concrete in the mix lol.
OK I’m about to order and I am confused. So I believe I see the same stuff that they bought from Home Depot But it just says topping and Bedding mix??
😂😂😂
Excellent Video!!!! You take your time articulate with every step and explain why??? Thank you.
THose forms are super cool. I'd snap em off day of to fix any voids in the face. Then grab a plastic bag between your hands L & R and pull it over the edge of the counter for a nice eased edge.
I thought the diesel brothers changed their careers.😂✌️
he looks (and sounds) like a less-buff version of Brandon from Buff Dudes
@Bien on watch ....you’re spot on with that comparison. I immediately thought the same thing.
Word of the day "accoutrement"
Great video, well explained, looking forward to trying this myself.. Cheers!
Great work. You have a super wide range of skills. I'm going to keep watching. You inspire me to keep going with my channel!
I used the exact same product for my countertops and they also turned out amazing! I went with a charcoal tint and I also wet polished them with diamond pads. The wet polish looks amazing because it really shows off the beautiful aggregate in the concrete, but damn, was that a freaking mess. I had plastic sheeting covering the floor and from floor to ceiling, it seriously looked like a Dexter kill room in my kitchen. But even with all that protection the wet polisher shot slurry all over the place and there were waterfalls pouring over the countertops pooling onto the floor, my buddy was unable to keep up with the shop vac to keep the water under control. An absolute mess but they turned out gorgeous. Maybe you can do a video on how to do these with a wet polisher, you may come up with a better solution to the crazy mess I had to deal with.
hello, please tell me this countertops how resistant they are to absorption and staining when spilling liquids and how strong they are to scratches compared to granite. thank you
I used a spray bottle with my polisher and had much less mess and my counters turned out fantastic.
@@tefaniademadeiros7476 after you seal them they are very stain resistant. I sealed mine with bees wax and after a year I have no stains. As for strength, I am fat and I stand on my counters .
When he said "Subscribe down below" I was like.... Mannn, you don't have to tell me Twice. I love Construction!
Best video I've seen yet on this subject. Great work!
Loved your video. Definitely going to do this. A good solution I learned is using an oscillating tool with a sanding pad as a vibrator to eliminate air bubbles. Hope this helps.
Excellent, detailed instructions !!! Can't wait to do this too. Question, can you add a colorant to get different colors? Thanks for sharing this video!
Yes but you’d probably want to use white cement to get the best colors they have concrete dye
1. Your tools DO NOT NEED TO BE WET!2.Its better to do it with a fiber float than finish off with the trial
3.Its better to not angle your trial as much because it can leave something know as concrete cellulitis and it looks a bit odd, instead barely angle your trial and pass over it fast to reduce tiny air bubbles. Everything else was good. Great job
Hardy board haha that’s my new word of the day . Loving the concrete . Floating fibreglass mesh never sounded so sexy . I’m impressed .
I was about to make butcher block for my entire countertop... these are about to save me so much time and still look awesome!
I’m a big fan of adding bonding liquid or key coat - just about half a cup. Makes any concrete mix a little more creamy/buttery and better to work with - and also adds some water proofing properties.
I also like to throw extra concrete powder to the top and float that in - to increase surface hardness
Loved this. Great quality and care at installation. Research clear on products used which help with the finished quality. Really useful.
Being a builder I would add some care should be taken handling concrete as the burns can be horrific! Gloves must be used,and ones that don’t suck up the water ie rubber gloves!
My husband was concrete contractor, you are so right about burns and nasty I fertions. Wear gloves his hands and fi get nail were smooth not dry and cracked. Miss him.
Awesome video... Thanks for being so detailed with your explanations of the material. 👍🤘🖐👊
I just love watching you work🥰
