Thanks for this. Just put concreted a big shed base and watched your video to remind me how it's done - last concreting done fifteen years ago and then only assisting my builder mate. A great reminder of how to get it right!
That brings back memories Jim , trying to turn over a diesel mixer on a cold morning used to nearly break your arm until you got the knack, then it was a piece of piss 😂😂, Many thanks for watching Jim 👍👍
My days of mixing in a wheelbarrow have long gone, good on you though sometimes you have just got to do what you have to do, many thanks for watching 👍
Alright bud any chance you could give us some tips or a video on bucket gauging with a mortar mix as I keep finding when I bucket gauge at a 5.1 mix the belle 150size mixers keep overflowing any tips on getting round the problem be a big help
The other way is mix up in the mix let it mix then turn it off and shovel in buckets or top the lot on the floor and shovel it that way, whatever works for you 👍
Thanks bud, sent them a video of the drum spinning they agreed it had a lot of wobble someone came out with a new drum for me I pulled the old one off put the new one on fine now thanks again
You should never mix concrete by volume. You should only mix it by weight. Mixing by volume causes bulking. You can't guarantee the ratios are correct using volumetric measurements. The standard 3:2:1 is based on weight ratios not volume ratios. A shovel is a volumetric measurement.
Three words people ' buckets ' ' not' 'shovels' obviously this depends on how important the the strength and consistency is for the particular job but as a video tutorial it's wrong to put it out as you did like
The title "how to mix concrete " --- this is some hodge-podge morter-mix because there was no STONE or GRAVEL in the mix. Going to crack, break, and crumble no matter how it is used. Use 3 parts STONE or gravel,2 parts coarse sand, and 1 part Portland cement for REAL concrete. Or just buy the bags of redi-mix concrete. WHAT ---stone & GRAVEL are EVERYWHERE.
@@BuildingwithBudd This 10mm must be something from another territory or sort. Must have some special universal qualities built right into the batch. Could not see it through the air waves. Happy shoveling & mixing ,Sir.

The cement mixer is a thing of beauty! :) Thanls for the video, very helpful.
😊👍
Always remember priming the big mixers with a touch of oil to get them started in the morning, on the building sites back in the 1980s
That brings back memories Jim , trying to turn over a diesel mixer on a cold morning used to nearly break your arm until you got the knack, then it was a piece of piss 😂😂,
Many thanks for watching Jim 👍👍
Great invention, the Irish tumble dryer. 😊
Proper Norfolk builder
That’s right boi 😊👍
Whew, remind me not to drink 6 stouts before watching your vids!
Love the mixing sound
Thanks for the video very helpful. Can't believe how many "experts" found it necessary to watch this and then criticise! Muppets.
Darland many thanks for watching, I totally agree with what you say, 👍👍👏
And did you lay that slab with the mixer? Wish I had a mixer had to mix by hand 18 bags of 20kg of premix into a wheelbarrow the other day1
My days of mixing in a wheelbarrow have long gone, good on you though sometimes you have just got to do what you have to do, many thanks for watching 👍
@@BuildingwithBudd A mixer is on my bucket list! 🙂🙂🙂
Great video this was mate!
Thank you for teaching me how to make mortar now I can make mortar by my own 😊❤️ I will build my home first
Go for it 👍👍
Tbh this video is very informative
How you getting the ballast and cement off the grass afterwards?
I got to replace two bricks in my bathroom so what ratio would you recommend and can I use plastering sand
4:1 building sand probably abit late now haha
Alright bud any chance you could give us some tips or a video on bucket gauging with a mortar mix as I keep finding when I bucket gauge at a 5.1 mix the belle 150size mixers keep overflowing any tips on getting round the problem be a big help
half batch.
@@kennkid9912or the lad could use 4 in 1 or even 3 in 1
Try a smaller bucket
Can I pour the mixed concrete into builder’s buckets, or will it spill everywhere?
Normally pour it into a wheelbarrow 👍
@@BuildingwithBudd Thanks for the answer. Unfortunately that means spending £50+ which is why I ask.
The other way is mix up in the mix let it mix then turn it off and shovel in buckets or top the lot on the floor and shovel it that way, whatever works for you 👍
@@BuildingwithBudd Thanks. I think I will hire a barrow, £8 for a week, just up the road too.
👍
Gorgeous
Is that a 170L mixer
1-2-3. 1 cement, two sand,three rock. finer mix is stronger. dry mix and then add water.
Kenn everyone has there own way of getting the same result, many thanks for watching 👍👍
or 1 cement 2 rock 3 sand.Dont forget to bring some rocks to fill in, if you run short on the project. Wet them.
Hi is that mix is the amount of full shovel or what.,?
@@daviebetham936 It is whatever unit you use. Shovel, Bucket, small bucket. % gallon ,2.5 gallon. 1-2-3 of the same unit.
@@BuildingwithBudd many ways to get there. Yes sir.
Is ballast it sems
Hi bud bought a bell mixer drum has a slight wobble is that normal
Is it new or 2nd hand ? If it’s new no, if it’s 2nd hand doesn’t surprise me, or it might not be screwed on fully, cheers for watching 👍👏
Thanks bud, yes it’s brand new but maybe it’s just the drum isn’t perfect in circumference and it’s just wobbling because of that
John
Just unscrew the drum and take it off then screw it back on, shouldn’t be to much wrong with it, Chuck a mix in and see how it goes 👏👏👍
Thanks bud, sent them a video of the drum spinning they agreed it had a lot of wobble someone came out with a new drum for me I pulled the old one off put the new one on fine now thanks again
Brilliant, once again thanks for watching 👏👏
0ps ...Meant to be 18 bags of 40kg not 20kg !!!🙂🙂🙂
👍
👏👍
lol closed caption at 0:54 says some people kill five big ones.
Great Video but I could not understand your english and also it was low volume
We are from Norfolk in the UK , we speak in a strange way boi 👍
You should never mix concrete by volume. You should only mix it by weight. Mixing by volume causes bulking. You can't guarantee the ratios are correct using volumetric measurements.
The standard 3:2:1 is based on weight ratios not volume ratios. A shovel is a volumetric measurement.
So how would you measure the weight?
@@Orgakoyd You measure the weight with a scale. The same way EVERYONE does it. Do you know what a scale is?
@@JoshBeards A little awkward on site
@@Orgakoyd It's a backyard pour using a small mixer. How big of a scale do you think you need to weigh a 5 gallon bucket? You're a honyock.
@@JoshBeards I wonder why you don't see this on a typical building project?
jus use 12 shovels of sand and half a bag of cement lol also ur meant to throw the water at the back before it falls lol are u an apprentice
Three words people ' buckets ' ' not' 'shovels' obviously this depends on how important the the strength and consistency is for the particular job but as a video tutorial it's wrong to put it out as you did like
Are those metric measurements?

Wheres the lime?
In concrete ???
Brick later always got me to put lime in the mix but that was for laying blocks and bricks

It’s 10mm all in , if your in the trade you would know , if your not look a bit closer ,
@@BuildingwithBudd This 10mm must be something from another territory or sort. Must have some special universal qualities built right into the batch. Could not see it through the air waves. Happy shoveling & mixing ,Sir.
Bruh you can literally HEAR the 10 rattling around…whether you see it or not.
Это точно! 1:2:2(3)👍☝️
the stones, if there any must be very small. This is more like SCREED than concrete.
the strength of that floor isn't that strong.
5:1 its very weak
We do it 3:1 or 4:1 max
