Thank you. My wife just asked me if I can make a concrete planter. With 100% certainty I can now say, "Hell no!"
-
You can make the whole inside of the planter with foam. You just make it in sections with a center peice that you can pull out after it dries that will unlock the foam and be reusable.
-
Never have i enjoyed a craft video sooo much. I spat coffee across me living room more than once.I subscribed because of how human you are.
-
Awesome book that gives you step-by-step photos youtube.com/post/UgkxTNB_zFBSnTo_O1PqfVUwgi7ityw0J… and directions to make every day project. I can see myself making a few of these projects and giving them as housewarming and holiday gifts!

From Wikipedia: "The term "wheelbarrow" is made of two words: "wheel" and "barrow." "Barrow" is a derivation of the Old English "barew" which was a device used for carrying loads."

In my time as a general contractor I’ve poured over 200,000 yards of concrete . But your excursion into that world was the most entertaining, funniest piece of concrete work I’ve ever seen. I couldn’t stop laughing. I’m sending you my hospital bill for giving me a hernia from the side splitting humor! You did it, well done! 👏👏👏👏

As someone who has moved a lot of pianos, when using a dolly, angle it up underneath the heavy object at the angle you have the bottom at. For example, at 25:55, you could’ve put the dolly at about 45° and slid it right up under the planter. Then you wouldn’t have had to manhandle it on there, it would’ve all just fallen at once. It’ll save your back!

I'm only 4 minutes in, but "flat bottom planters make the rockin world go round" made the entire video worthwhile and enough to make me subscribe. ha! 🤘

Next step must definitely be a wood fired oven for pizza
-
"...If you just pretend like you know what you're doing, sometimes, it works out!" LOVE IT! That motto has been driving my every home improvement attempt over the last 20 years! And sometimes, IT WORKS OUT! 🤣 Great job, fellas! Keep 'em coming!
-
The fiberglass tape was a great idea. I bet one strip around the rim would add even more strength
-
Thanks for taking one for the team. I too was targeted by Skynet’s social media algorithm with an attempt to entice me to create my own oversized concrete cereal bowl. I had a shopping list ready in minutes and was a mere weekend away from my own horror story. I owe you one!
-
I can’t be the only one who was stressed about the state of your floor that whole time
-
The final 1/4 inch should be a sand and cement slurry which then allows the final form to be made with the template...comes out perfectly smooth
-
Monday night, after a shift at the hospital and I laughed until I cried! Great job!
-
Use landscaping fabric between the rocks and the potting soil in the planter. It prevents the rocks from cloging up with soil.
-
For future use, if you get a yard of dirt or mulch, fill up the bed of your truck with Buckets and tubs. Then when you get home you just grab a bucket and you dont need to fill up a wheel barrow. huge time saver
-
I’m so happy to see that I’m not the only one that dives head first into random new projects without any planning whatsoever. It always goes really smoothly, until it doesn’t. That’s when I realize that 5 minutes of planting would have saved 8 hours worth of painful “Oh crap, what do I do now” moments.
-
We’ll worry about that later is my mantra for every DIY too 😂
