you know, the best thing I like about your video that you showed me how to fix it when I screwed up. lol. Most people don't show us at all. Now I know. Thank you.
OMG. 13 minutes I am mesmerized watching some guy finish a concrete step. The stumble...the patience, the technique...and OH the cigarette..it had it all. I'm on the edge of my seat....I gotta get a life!
You sir, are a true artisan... I just did concrete at my house and it looks every bit a DIY homeowner Frankenstein job, Not the worst I've ever seen or done, but certainly nothing like your skillset... props to you sir, it takes great skill and pride in your work... great job!
Things happen. No need to cry over spilled concrete. Jeffs just owes everyone a case of beer now lol Heineken for me jeff thanks you're the man brother!
Nice attention to detail. Accidents happen all the time, great that the continued filming shows exactly how to deal with such an incident. There are quite a few "Pathetic" comments (as usual) but this is a craftsman in action. Great job guys.
100% agree! You can tell in most videos they chop out all the bits that dont go to plan so it looks like they got it pefrect first time. This shows the real side of working on the tools mistakes are made but with skill and experience you can right any wrong!
I like to 45 the bottom of the form on my steps. Then you can get your mag under the form helps to keep that divet when you pull your form from the face
This was a great video! It covered many detailed that a lot of other videos skip over. Thank you very much for taking the time to make and share this 👍
Broken in and worn down used mags are better for finishing concrete. New crisp floats suck a fat one, they gouge at first till they're broken in...Hence it gets relegated to placing only....and all that hard crap can be scraped off and cleaned. When it's 90+ out and your knee deep there's no time for it.
guys is getting tons of shit for internet dyi masters - im glad he did everything slow and 10 times over, when you're tired and it's the end of the projects you don't want to rush the finish. great video - quite smoking :)
Touch the top. Should feel fairly firm . Leaving small indentations with the finger tips. Many variables come in to play. Temperature, ground moisture, wind, sun, da mix. Keep your eye on it.
Golf instructor does a slow swing to demonstrate proper posture and form. RUclips comments say "You're never gonna get to the green swinging that slow... Bruh" 🙄
Little tip use your mag to finish it. Dont use your finish trowel for a brush finish it will come out the same but years later it will hold a better face little something something not to many guys know
GREAT VIDEO!! Viewers got a freebie in the beginning how to patch concrete. 1 Thessalonians 4 make it your ambition to live a quiet life and work with your hands, prudent independent...your character & work says it all!! Jesus Christ is KING!!
Make sure you don't send the finishers for beer and get stuck using the laborer for a demonstration on a wet face that should have took two minutes to complete.
Cool video. Thnx for sharing. More realistic vs all the other guys editing thier vids to never show mistakes. Nice details and like the way you broke down each tool and its use.
How do you determine a comortable rise/run for a sidewalk with steps in it? I have one I want to do and want to make sure that the steps are a comfortable distance apart, and the rise is not too high or low. overall the rise is 24-28" over 120" of run. I don't want to make the steps an awkward distance between them so that I can't walk comfortably down them.
Tim Stoltzfus we are in lincoln ne. City code says all steps must be equal. Rise and tread. If it was my job i would do 2 steps at 7inch tall and 12inch tread each. then a 72inch landing then 2 more steps. Or have no landing. But 7inch steps feel good when walking
Cut a 45 at the bottom of your face form and you wont have to scrub out that inch and a half. If you grade a step right you don't need that cut at the bottom. I've never seen a crack that far away from a face. If they do it's always right in the crotch. Looks good though.
EGGINFOOLS it honestly depends on how well the concrete is setting up. the quicker it sets up (gets hard) the quicker you can pull forms off and rub the face of a step, or a curb, or whatever you’re rubbing like that.

I’m a 67 yr. old widow. All I do I have done by myself. I thank you for every video. Thank you.
you know, the best thing I like about your video that you showed me how to fix it when I screwed up. lol. Most people don't show us at all. Now I know. Thank you.
It's important to be smoking while you are being careful.
The smoke slow you down for extra precaution
Smoking really really helps 😂
OMG. 13 minutes I am mesmerized watching some guy finish a concrete step. The stumble...the patience, the technique...and OH the cigarette..it had it all. I'm on the edge of my seat....I gotta get a life!
Fantastic workmanship, and the boss sounds very kind.
My back would be screaming working that far out. Jeff does good work.
Thank you
Dropping the board was comedy gold!.. and the response lol. Great to see you work, inspiring!
Good day guys thanks for your time and video enjoyed watching. Good professional job . 👍
You sir, are a true artisan... I just did concrete at my house and it looks every bit a DIY homeowner Frankenstein job, Not the worst I've ever seen or done, but certainly nothing like your skillset... props to you sir, it takes great skill and pride in your work... great job!
Thank you
I can tell you don’t live in Houston. This is true pride in your work. Nice job.
How long did you wait before taking off the face board. Any chance you oiled the wood first.
Things happen. No need to cry over spilled concrete. Jeffs just owes everyone a case of beer now lol Heineken for me jeff thanks you're the man brother!
Am i the only one who barked with laughter when he dropped the board? Happens to us all mate :-)
I don't bark because I'm a human.
"gently remove it"
*immediately drops it* LMAO
Been there lol
Very nice and informative video guys. Thank you for showing
Dropping the board into your finished area and fixing your mistakes. Real practical advise. They video was made for me lol
You dont have to rush doing concrete. Some people enjoy the trade and really get into finishing. Love this .
Thank you
I love doing concrete. So satisfying to watch, good job dooooods
Hello I am Luis ! from Venezuela ! I like your videos! I would like to know the exact quantities to make the concrete mix please?
"And we're gonna show you how to patch, a concrete he just finished" hahaha
Nice work man,... a regular working guy video GREAT! We've all dropped the board before. Some of us even hit the middle of the fresh work with it.!
Nice attention to detail. Accidents happen all the time, great that the continued filming shows exactly how to deal with such an incident.
There are quite a few "Pathetic" comments (as usual) but this is a craftsman in action.
Great job guys.
Thank you
Good video. Cheers from australia.
What is the best test on when you can remove the riser form? What indicator are you looking for?
Dropping the board in it is something I would’ve done lol - you actually made your video better doing that haha

100% agree! You can tell in most videos they chop out all the bits that dont go to plan so it looks like they got it pefrect first time. This shows the real side of working on the tools mistakes are made but with skill and experience you can right any wrong!
No cover or top tool?
Awesome care and craftsmanship - a pleasure to watch
The guy who is finishing, he is really good. Good job. Difficult job make it look easy.
John Kritikos 😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Love your sarcasm
I like to 45 the bottom of the form on my steps. Then you can get your mag under the form helps to keep that divet when you pull your form from the face
Thanks for the detailed video.
Nuthin like a couple craftsman planing a job, and working a plan. Nice job
More concrete videos please. The young generation of trades people need your mentorship
Laughed so much when he dropped the board 😂
Nice Job.....
Can you do a video on how to make Sicilian concrete shoes? I know a lot of democrats that you could use a good pair.
Thanks for taking the time to make this video
You welcome. Thanks for watching
73 gracias por el video es muy bueno bendiciones.desde Quito Ecuador,Sur America.
This was a great video! It covered many detailed that a lot of other videos skip over. Thank you very much for taking the time to make and share this 👍
He’s a really good finisher
working with cleaner tools may assist, the mag float is covered in concrete slurry dried for years

Great job and honest work
Thank you
7:10 “That cream will fill all your holes and voids”
Hello, you made hard work of that I almost fell to sleep "dear John".
Ignore all the haters ! Nice video .
Tell Jeff that I think he's doing a fine job!
Because the smoke from his cigarrette burned his eyes !
Shoulda been vaping then he'd of stepped in it not seeing the sidewalk at all😅😅
isn't this smooth finish too slippery when wet? Do you use brushed finish as well?
Like the paint brush! Never thought of that!
Hello! which components do you use? what are the proportions? thank you
Good job!
45 your riser bottom to finish. You'll have to face riser anyway later
Jeff doesn't wanna be there!🤣🤣🤣😅😅😅😅
I died when he dropped the board, definitely something I'd do
this is how I would do it, and I've never worked with concrete before. Surely a tradesman would be quicker, more efficient etc..
Did you curve the trowel for the edges by yourself ?
um, why is the sidewalk below the ground? shouldnt it be slightly above so the mud and dirt doesnt get on it, and weeds grow?
beautiful work
Gla
d you didnt cut out the accident in the beginning. T'was the most exciting part for me..
Nice job when can you swing by and do mystair repair?
Great video. Thank you for your time and effort to make it and share it with the world. Greetings from Croatia.
Tha hell..i just watched all the season of game of thrones and he still brushing over n over
Sliding in winter time or can you put texture for grip?
Looks great!
Fix one thing only to ruin it again twice. Counterproductive imo.
Finally Somebody with sense sees it.....
Very good job
Jeff has talent.

RUclips is the best university on the planet and it's free.
Amazing work.:-) :-) :-)
This, this is art
Real life. Love it.

i like the way you are doing your job
how do you produce your concrete?
Make sure you don't send the finishers for beer and get stuck using the laborer for a demonstration on a wet face that should have took two minutes to complete.
Cool video. Thnx for sharing. More realistic vs all the other guys editing thier vids to never show mistakes. Nice details and like the way you broke down each tool and its use.
Thank you. Some people are mean and rude. In the beginning i said is a nice slow cooler day and we got plenty of time. We was not in a race
Thanks for the video 👍 nice job 👍
nice... I start like this in 28 years ago
it is Eangl or Amerk?
EL TUTORIAL SE LLAMA" COMO ARREGLAR ALGO Q ACABAS DE HACER CUANDO LA CAGAS"

😂😂
The commentary was killing me🤣🤣
But it was the best ever
Salute hard work
Still waiting for the “pouring” part
A fine job young feller me lad !
做工挺精细的！
there is a huge difference between a concrete finisher and what this guy is doing ...he got the job done just took awhile

Wtf I fell asleep woke up and he was still going in circles. My uncles and dad would had pulled me off that step and told me to go clean the tools.
RAIDER FAN 😂👏
RAIDER FAN thats cause they dont care what it looks like lol. i think they done great. must have had time to kill. u know how that goes.... maybe
😂😂😂😂 idk how I ran into this video.... I felt like jumping in and showing him how it's done lol.... everybody works differently.
The way he ran that float 😂😂😂
😂😂😂
Best instructions. 👍
برضو عندنا في مصر الصنايعيه لعيبه قوى بالبرواى ؛؛؛؛؛؛؛تلاقي الصنايعى معاه بروه معفنه صغيره وممكن يرسمك بيها
How long do you have to wait to remove the form after you pour?

nice work man
Wait! At very beginning, how do you decide when to remove the face board? (not too early or late).
Experience. Ya just know
