Instead of throwing the silicone mold out, cut it into little cubes. You can reuse them during your next silicone pour (of any size). Just fill up the cavity of your best pour with the cubes, and then pour the silicone over that. You will use much less silicone mixture that way.
Instead of throwing the mold out he could've broken the wooden bracing off before releasing the concrete base then made new bracing using fibreglass with a split in the middle so it can be removed and put back together easily.
@@jameslucas3161 With a bit of though he could have built a frame to hold the mold and then built a custom frame for the inside and pour another silicone mold for the inside. Then a custom X with 4 pins in them for the dowels to hold the top in place. Some wire mesh set in the middle of the form should be more than enough to keep if from breaking. A concrete vibrate tool to get the bubbles out and you have a mold that can be broken down and used again.
The time and effort put in to this is enough to build a couple dozen tables of a number of colors and table tops and sell them for around 500 to 1500 dollars depending on the wood type and design top.
Came here to say the same thing. tyvm!
For people looking to do similar, use ALGINATE instead. It's a throw away molding agent. Instead of wasting $1.5k on silicone like this guy did only to throw the mold away, alginate would have cost a quarter of this, and you can throw it away after, it's just a seaweed mix.
A compression bit is designed for cutting through the full thickness at once, giving inward shear to both top and bottom simultaneously. If you don't cut deep enough, you're effectively using it as an "uncut" bit and will experience tear out. For what you're doing, a "downcut" bit will eliminate tear out on the top and give you the "guide" surface for your compression bit in the hand-router... which is much easier than trying to cut the entire circle with the circle jig (sorry, that's a pet peeve of mine). Nice work... I enjoyed it!
Very interesting project. Not sure if you see these comments or not, but I definitely recommend some kind of sealer on the concrete for when the first spill inevitably happens.
I was going to say that...
Yes, concrete absorbs everything :) Speaking from experience.
@@brianreddeman951 Maybe Jason is planning to invite some less favoured relatives around.....
I was in the middle of writing an email asking if I could drive myself to Oregon to pick up that mold you were gonna throw out, when I saw you cut it up I sighed and discarded the draft lol. Great work, it looks awesome!
Nice project. The best part is being your son helping with the project. You also have a beautiful dog.
Nice? Thats one overly expensive silicon mold! If the bro was Gaudi, okay, but he's not.
@@jobbe-wijnenstop whining
That mold would make a great outdoor planter as well. Very cool.
OMG I love that idea.
Loving the look of the table! That's alot of work but totally worth the effort!! Just FYI, you can take that used silicone, cut it up and use it in other projects. You can add it as "filler" when you have another large pour and it will save you a ton on new silicone! Anyway, loving your saltbox table and have a great weekend!
Whew, when he said he was going to throw it all away it made my heart (or more accurately, my wallet, lol) cry out in pain. Had to make sure someone made this suggestion.
@@roguered706 Yeah, that would be aLOT of money going in the trash!! I may or may not have had a "shout at the screen" moment when he said it was getting pitched!! LOL
Could you use sand for the mould like you do when making an outdoor pizza oven?
@@barneybarney9124 I've never tried that myself, but seems like it would be almost impossible with the fluting. I don't think the sand would maintain the ridges.
Why don’t people use similar “aggregate” in their initial molds? Does it have to be actual cured silicone to work as filler, or could you use something like styrofoam?
Mike is the expert in concrete furniture, and GFRC is the way to go.
Hoo! Talk about "Concrete Christmas." That is gorgeous.
Even though it's indoors, you should seal the concrete
Jason, what a beautiful table. have you considered putting a coat of silicone between the concrete base and your carpet so the lime in the concrete doesn’t leach into your carpet
Check out a concrete supply store next time for form liner. They have a bunch of different designs. Rip it to size, line your ply wood form and pour. Or look at concrete stamps.
It’s awesome that you got your son involved, we have to teach the next gen! Using a reciprocating saw without a blade to remove the air bubbles is my go to as well. Great innovative build! 👍
Nice! That mold would make an awesome fire pit also I think
Jason in terms of your business as a RUclipsr this is a perfect project. It's a bit whacky, has some fascinating techniques and with your brilliant voice-over style is pure unmitigated entertainment. Don't expect me to believe however that Mrs Moth will allow this dusty ramekin, that hurts the slippered foot from 20 yards away to stay in the house...
It needs sealing and painting to bring some kind of warmth to its brutal concreteness.
As an art piece though it is a fascinating starting point for many concepts... the oak top could be made to look like concrete and the concrete like oak. Or perhaps oak like legs formed in the concrete or maybe just a piece of furniture partially set in concrete as some kind of statement about our modern world gobbling up nature..
That oak ring that came off the top though. If you still have it, there is another video right there. Stretch a canvas over it and divide it into three and you Mrs Burbon and the Foreman paint a picture on it. Doesn't have to be painted with great skill or detail but it would form a beautiful family record and a real video diversion...
save your scrap silicone and cut it up into chunks, it can act as filler and reduce the amount of silicone you need for later pours.
$2000 mold for the base plus labor “ I’m not made of money “
That was my first thought. That's a lot of silicone, I bet its expensive... I counted 14 bottles (x2) for the pour, the link says they are $106 each.
He could of searched how to make silicone molds
To be fair, it is tax deductible.
Nice piece! And now🤣 I finally know where all the worn out rugs that we throw away in Europe end up!
For doing curved pieces, get some bendy board, it’s plywood with the grain all running in the same orientation and this allows it to bend.You can get it with the grain running the full 8ft or 4ft direction.👍🏝️🇨🇦
Beautiful job, man! Now you also have 75 oak hammer handles :)
you can also cut up the silicone into small pieces and use it as filler material the next time you build any silicone molds
That's pretty cool! I was thinking maybe affixing a couple round slick steel furniture glides on the bottom, they are pretty low profile and you could scoot it around easier if you wanted. I love it when the foreman shows up. He's getting so big! Next project, making furniture for the treehouse. It needs something up there for sitting, eating snacks and playing video games.
Dude! This is great! Way to think outside the ramekin!
Adding perlite to the concrete will make it lighter. I make big planters that I have to move around and perlite really helps reduce the weight.
Love this table! It really suits the space well and looks amazing. I would consider making the top removeable and reuse the dowels to clad out the inside, then it could be used as a hidden bar
I would've liked to see the inner cavity open up for storage but this was a cool idea and end result
For future silicone projects, cut the exterior 3/4 of the mold in an aggressive zig-zag for indexing. That way your straight line is as encouraged as it can be to line up perfectly and discourage leaking. Loved the video!
I laughed so hard when you said “hot glue” 😂
OMG! Looks amazing!!
Turned out looking pretty nice. Good choice trimming down the top
I missed you last week.
My brother works for a precast concrete company, and he will tell you that its the best product out there by far :)
2-layers of pvc trim fastened/glued to *each other* can hold shape just by their mutual tension/compression. It's a common way to make rings, arcs, splines, etc.
I saw your IG post on the table saw kickback.... thought that you would cover it in this video. I appreciate that you have talked about shop safety in the past and was a little surprised that you did not cover it in this video. All that aside, great project. I really like how it turned out. Thanks for sharing!
The first time you experience kickback really makes you understand table saw safety due to how scary it is. My first time was about a year after I got my saw and a big chonky piece of wood spun when it mounted the blade because I forgot to reinstall the riving knife after removing a dado stack. You better believe I never forgot to reinstall it ever again.
Thanks Jason, love your show!
I had "Fold in the cheese" stuck in my head watching you put the glass fibers in. Also, I think you can save your silicone and chop it into bits to use as filler for other pour projects! I saw someone else do this when their first attempt went south and they were running low on silicone.
INGENIOUS!! Flawless project Jason. Bravo!!
Cool project. Something different
Awesome build, absolutely love it!
So cool. Love it. If you haven't thrown the silicon pieces out, perhaps stick a section under the coffee table so you have it if you ever move or if you want/need to replace the rug, so you'd have a way to safely stand it up. Monday morning quarterbacking over here...
A metal trim (maybe golden) would look nice on the bottom, also the inner side would be nice for storage (maybe have the lid come off somehow). Anyway, great looking piece 🙂
What an extraordinary and beautiful piece of furniture! Outstanding job!
Love your work. Love the new stuff you try.
So satisfying to watch that last dowel go into place
Loving the content lately Jason you are killing it with the interesting projects!
you've outdone yourself again! Awesome work!
Birch Plywood getting so expensive you’ve resorted to concrete 😂 good stuff man always like your builds.
Great result
Just wanted to say, I love your videos. You're clearly very knowledgable and always doing something interesting, but the sense of humour and willingness to show your mistakes you bring makes you a favourite. Thanks for doing what you do!
Well done! I think that is a great-looking coffee table.
Beautiful piece!
Turned out awesome!!
I wonder if you could cut the rest of the mould a bit to use again but for some matching side tables for your table.
Nice painting! Coffee table too.
You can cut up the mould and use it as filler for another mould, saves it from the land fill and saves you money next time around.
It actually looks amazing.
That's beautiful.
Simple elegance looks very nice! You are talented beyond measure.
Turned out beautifully.
I love it! You know you are going to have to move it every time your wife want to vacuum...
I was concerned about how much that base was going to scrape up your flooring. I see you brilliant wife has layered her area rugs.
There is a technique where you paint on the silicone, first liquid silicone then when you get a nice detailed first couple of layers you thicken the silicone so that you can put on thicker layers. Then, to save on silicone and so that the silicon mould can be thin enough to simple peel it off your finished piece you make a rigid outer shell. For this you could use plaster bandages or even better, fiberglass and resin to make rigid panels around the silicone mould. Would probably work for this and be way cheaper. A bit more complex though.
Your patience is a virtue and the end product shows your handiwork. Beautiful!!
Always appreciate your no fear approach to trying new things. It turned out great.
Awesome project, Jason! The concrete+oak combo sure works!
Hi mate, ive used lots of silicone in the past. Next time before your concrete pour, take the silicone out the mould and then slice the silicone in a zigzag pattern. Silicone is very forgiving and will go back together very easily. Meaning when the concrete is set you can simply peal the silicone away from the concrete. This also then gives you a mould you can reuse over and over again. You can use ratchet straps or tape around the outside to hold the silicone in place without a wood form! Hope that helps :)
I enjoyed watching this video, and thank you for taking the time to make it. Your patient way of explaining how and why adds immensely to the content.
Mike is the concrete G.O.A.T.
The "Pi R Actually round and not square" line had me laughing so hard I had to pause the video.
Your dog is absoloutely gorgeous. Also nice table i guess.
You might want to save the silicone to fill up a future poor. Works great. Nice build by the way
Very cool project! Also love the new shirt designs, you should make a hoodie version. Your hoodie is one of the most comfortable hoodies I’ve ever owned!
looks amazing its like gypsum candle holder
Have you ever, and would you ever do anything with Meranti Wood? Dig the videos ✌🏼
That's a super cool table! I'd 200% get one for my livingroom
Beautiful coffee table that I love. A mounting of this superb oak top on the invisible hinge would have been very useful to take advantage of the space inside.
When I bang my foot or knee violently into mine, which must weigh around twenty kilos, I complain for two minutes and that's it. With this concrete, I'm in for a fracture, but I'd still love to have a table like this.
The decision to move the sponsorship to the end of the video is great! Instead of skipping, I actually watch it to squeeze a bit more Jason out of each video.
Nicely done
Really nice the project that gets harder the more you look at it
Looks good. Thanks for sharing.
I live in Georgia, and it’s been raining for weeks, seems like anyway. Which I don’t mind, except on the weekends.
Great job paid off in the end 🔥
This looks like a giant salt cellar....I like it. I commented this before your observation, I sweat!
I remember my dad doing something similar when I was a kid about 28 years ago, he made a concrete fountain for our pond and used plastic roof sheeting as a form and filled it with concrete, came out okay!
That is a beautiful coffee table! Wish I had one...
Kinda wild to make something that wastes quite so much non-renewable material. Would be interesting to see the same build but using clapboard technique or alginate or something.
Eh man that's how I felt too watching the entire thing lol
15:42 this was impressive
Jason, if you cut up the silicone model you can save it for future silicone molds. So you don't have to use as much silicone.
Another great video form Jason! :D
Outstanding!!
Some silicone is useful for kitchen stuff: oven mitts, trivet mats, etc. You might still be able to reuse SOME of it.
This is for the Burbons and the Cadillacs with the 10’s and the 12’s bumpin’ in the back.
🎶Woodgrain with the leather seats. Windows so dark you need a flashlight to see me🎶
Playa play on
Very cool, I'm glad your son has inherited your dance moves!
Nice build.
For Christmas you should make a concrete leg lamp
I love the results. You had the vision and made it 1st try, that is skill. I'd like to see this redone, yes, make another, but really minimize the silicone some how. I'm thinking build up a layer on the mold (center part, not outer), then fill the rest with concrete so you just need a thin layer. Its all you, good luck! lol
Nicely done..
Great outcome, love it. I would love to know how much this actually cost you to make?
It looks really fantastic in that living room. Good work, human.
The blue silicone would make an excellent rc car rock crawling addition. It flexibility would be awesome to change up the course.
That's a fricken awesome coffee table!!!
I've watched all your videos. You are truly a teacher who inspires his students to bud cool and unique pieces. I had a thought about a twist to the coffee table.....cut out the center and add an inset to put rocks and fake or real plants into. Maybe some Cactus or small bushes no taller than approx 6" high....just a thought :)
Thank you for all you put into your videos.
Bourbon Cheers!
Chris
Nice project.
