    Even though this is older, in my mind THIS is what RUclips should be about! Building things, not tearing people down.

    This is the sort of content I want from RUclips. Easy to follow, great narration, no plinky plonky muzak and a superb product at the end. Nice.

    @somanynamesilltrythis0180 6 лет назад

    I saw this on Facebook a few hours ago but the last half of the video was cut so I didn't get to see how it all came together. I'm glad I found it on RUclips bcuz I really want to do this as a gift for a family member. Thanks!

  • @stephanroopan831

  • @NaveenKumar-oj7xh
    @NaveenKumar-oj7xh 7 лет назад

    Tip. You could add coloured glass pieces and mix them into the concrete and then when it hardens, spray it with clearcoat. The results will be STUNNING..

    Do not leave your idea so to the air, patenting it would be the best thing because another person more abusive is going to steal your idea and it is going to pantent it this and it will go sale the product, it is your idea take care of your projects, that nobody steals it from you. Beautiful work !!

    @BlueEGraphics2000 7 лет назад

    Very nice project. One tip. I would cut the PVC pipe all the way through and hot glue or wrap sturdy tape around it before filling with concrete. This would also make the mold reusable. Also, spray the insides with cooking spray for easy removal.

  • @goldenboy5500

    try spraying the PVC with a generous amount of cooking spray and the concrete should slide out just wait a few hours then slide it out let it dry completely

  • @joseofno
    @joseofno 7 лет назад +28

    you can save the PVC piping by applying baby oil to the inner walls of it, once you've let the concrete cure, simply tap it a few times with the mallet to free the mold! some concrete pros use baby oil, vaseline and even butter you can also use cooking oil or Pam! :P lol

    Very nice. Could even add some dye to the concrete mix for additional color instead of the standard concrete look.

    • @AndyHullMcPenguin
      @AndyHullMcPenguin 7 лет назад +17

      If its for indoors and you want a soft look, try inkjet refill ink. It provides a very rich soft colour. You could also try acrylic paint, add to the water prior to mixing. Coloured chalk added to the dry mix might look pretty good too.

    Looks really good. I wonder if putting something like vaseline on the inside of the pipe would allow it to be slipped off?

    • @Hakken1
      @Hakken1 7 лет назад +3

      We used to use diesel fuel on our cylindrical forms. Vaseline would probably work great for a small lamp build.

    • @drb4074
      @drb4074 7 лет назад +3

      A basic wiping of oil works too. In construction, we use form oil sprayed on. It can be rubbed off when the form is stripped away.

    • @cartmanrlsusall
      @cartmanrlsusall 7 лет назад +2

      D rB yup we use diesel fuel on wood if form oil isn't available, but I bet vegetable oil works. I bet spitting the pvc in strips and putting them back together with duct tape would make them reusable

    • @drb4074
      @drb4074 7 лет назад +2

      cartmanrlsusall Duct tape good idea. You could strip the forms without breaking them that way.
