I created the same sink for a client in 2002. The faucet coming off the wall was a mirror. If they have issues with faucet, they can access the plumbing from other side of wall. I must say, I’m pretty darn happy with myself creating a modern design that sustained time.
As an amateur with woodworker, i typically feel overpowered with the entire arrangement ruclips.net/user/postUgkxrYREG3-7f1Aqk9ams3ZESRNzGnfdUtyQ . Be that as it may, this arrangements drove me through with much clarity and effortlessness woodplans. Works i now work like a genius. That is great!
Just a quick tip. When you have a situation like that demolding again, with a hole in the bottom, blow compressed air into the hole, and the form will demold easier
One thing I’m most impressed is both of you wearing mask outside while working. Showing safety first is probably the most important thing you can teach while showing and describing your technique on creating something. Cheers! 🤙
Perfect video! It gave me answers to a couple of my "wonder how I'm gonna do that" questions and puts me in a different direction from pouring to hand packing. You're all ACES as far as I'm concerned!! I'm still shaking my head thinking "why didn't I think of that" about the mold made of shaped/shaved foam.....really, its weird how one can get so stuck on stupid that they don't see the forest for the trees. Lol, I feel born again from such a narrow minded mindset on inner sink mold. TY!
The best DIY videos are those that start off making me think I could do something myself and save a little money... then 11 minutes in have me thoroughly impressed and ready to hand over whatever it costs to concrete professionals. Bravo!
Quite outstanding. I was confident in my ability to make concrete molds for polymer countertops before, but I couldn't think of a great inexpensive way to make a sink that didn't involve hard edges or risk ruining the finished product when delaminating the melamine. Very insightful video, and awesome innovation!
If you make 5000 pcs of these concrete sink...and sell it at $200..you can again be a Millionaire.. you are so talented.. everything you touch turns to gold. you are destined for greatness!
keren banget, bisa juga dipakai buat counter top kitchen set, penjelasannya detail... gak pelit bagi2 ilmunya. trus kl emang ada salah pasti ngaku, jadi kitanya gak ikutan salah. NICEEEEEE
I'm no plumber but I saw that drain and was like, "That's gonna be a problem." Love your fix. I would have puttied the whole bottom. I wouldn't have even thought to use resin. Which is honestly embarrassing to say since resin art is my thing.
Where do you get your resin from? Here on You Tube there are several people doing all these resin projects, I went to Home Depot and a tiny little box of resin was $22.00!! I figure that there must be a more reasonable supplier out there.
I use total boat. You can get 15% off if you use my code in the video description. For this type of mold, you want table top epoxy.... The type of epoxy you'll need depends on what you want to make, so feel free to ask questions if you aren't sure
.... Hats down. Best concrete, designers and renovator I've seen. Deff white is better than grey. (I do like marble though..) U have great taste and insights. Loved the black themed bathroom.. Amazing.
This is AWESOMEEEE! You have a lot of fancy tools, but I think we could round up some similar tools, and then McGyver the rest. We really want to do a lightweight concrete sink in our bus conversion. Thanks so much for being so thorough with this video! We appreciate it. - B + E
If you have compressed air and want to deal with that vacuum differently in the next go around. Try using an air nozzle and shooting air under the melamine.
Mike...keep the water in the mist coat and the backer the same. Otherwise one will draw moisture from the other and effect colour and may cause spider cracking. Use a product called slump buster to stiffen it up. Handpack from bottom to top and let the side sit up a little longer before adding on more concrete to the vertical and you wont get the crack at the top which is slump from packing too much at once and going top to bottom.
The idea is very innovative but definitely costs a lot of money compared to industrial products marketed. It takes a lot of DIY time. Thanks for your ideas .
Thank you! I do my best to only work with brands that I trust....I used Sprayway for 6 months at my house before agreeing to do my first sponsored video with them 😀
@@modustrial no need to reply to this one but I thank you for your acknowledgment and just turn on notifications dude. keep up the good vids. Looking forward to the finished product of the renovation of the house/office.
I give you a tip: Put the silicone with the pistol, without touching it. Spray vetrix (or other window cleaner) all over it. Now you can remove the rest of the silicone with your fingers, it will not stick to the form and you will have just the necessary dose, the width of your first application of silicone with the pistol =)
Stuck from a vacuum seal not because you forgot some type of releasing agent haha. Thanks for the upload, everything was DIY except that gun, I can't find one to rent at a reasonable price.
Instead of covering everything with plastic before spraying concrete everytime, may be you can build something like a mosquito net around the bed hanging from the top, but don'tt forget to replace the net with plastic and bed with the work table/place. LOL. Amazing videos and creations btw.
Dude! This came out so freakin' clean and insanely nice! As always (and I can't believe after watching all of your videos) I still learn something from everyone of your videos! Great stuff!
Thanks Ethan! 🙏 I always try to put a couple new nuggets of info in every video....plus, I get bored if I say the same thing over and over (unless its caulk talk).
Nice video. For better, accurate symmetry for such an organic sink shape, I would have used layers of precut plywood (or even cardboard) glued and stacked on top of each other instead of the foam - then applied the compound on top of that. That said - you did a great job!
Making your own washtop, you can make it deeper, so one can soak things like pullovers or stuff like that in it. The most sinks aren deep anymore and personly I dont like that. And sometimes I want to do something with the hair and dont wont to do it in the shower, than again a deeper sink and a higher faucet is very nice. Only maybe to think about, because you can have it customiced. 👍🏻🦁
Is the sink strong enough to support the weight of two people? We all have run into the problem of walking into the bathroom after having friends over only to see our sink was not strong enough to support their weight....right?
one small detail that is helpful in my view, which is adding a hole connected to the drain pipe that helps to drain the water faster the hole should be in the top connected to the drain pipe
You should also capture and reuse your farts when you decide to smell them. Your excessive fart smelling is going into nature and ruining our atmosphere.
In your black sink, I would like to see more about the wooden insets. They resemble a Japanese style of hinoki bathroom pieces, like stools and shelves. They seem to be separate pieces you can slide up and down the sink as needed for laying out objects near the basin.
Hi man, that's amazing! Quick question on the concrete gun part: do you have any reference video/link on how to do that technique? Can you actually achieve the same result without the gun?
Can you point me in the direction of mold kits for standard 5 foot kitchen countertops with a sink cutout? Do they exist? Love the channel and your work.
Thanks! Not that I know of....but they are very easy to make from melamine. all you need is a circular saw, jigsaw for the sink (the sink will come with a template), and drill/driver.
Nice job. For the puck marks and holes, slurry did the trick but I wonder if you could experiment with vibrating that first sprayed layer or putting it in a vacuum bag to remove any air bubbles. Maybe a simple solution like an SDS hammer drill and go around the form vibrating. Even if some concrete sags on the vertical surfaces during vibrating, it might mean you need to spray twice but then the first layer will be smoother maybe and any layers to follow bubbles will be not visible. I'm no expert on this but common air removal techniques might take the finish to the next level!
Thanks! If you vibrate it, you'll vibrate it right off the walls, completely. The problem wasn't bubbles in the face coat. The problem came on the second layer, when it pulled the first layer away from the walls, and vibrating can't help that. But, I always appreciate ideas so keep em coming 😀
Love it! The only thing I would say is I’m not into the white pigment with the concrete sink because it just looks like porcelain which seems contradictory to why you’re using concrete in the first place
IDEA!!!! Make a mold like this with an airplane propeller with the drain at the center, and have several faucets along its length, and put it in the bathrooms of an aviation themed restaurant
Absolutely gorgeous! I need one for my bathroom, but only have space for a 27" counter/sink. I don't recall if you showed how you built the countertop to drop in the sink you created. I'll have to build myself.
This turned out better than I expected for the freehand shaping method. If you didn't have a concrete sprayer available for the surface coat, what other methods could you use to get a decent finish?
You could pour a huge solid block ;) for vertical surfaces like the walls on this, you really need to spray... However, in the grand scheme, the hopper gun i use is only $100 , and some folks have even had success modding a $30 harbor freight hopper gun with a 45 degree angle connector (about $5), and spraying with that.
Another great build Mike, and your right, it looks just like a solid slab of concrete, so incredibly customizable too, I hope your well, Take it easy fella 🇺🇸🇬🇧
Alright, I had posted an earlier comment about where you source your concrete and glass fibers but after I posted I remembered you saying everything is in the comments. It appears I am unable to get the GFRC in my location. Can you make your own mix and if so how would you go about doing that? I have been wanting to do several concrete projects in my house and your videos have given me great ideas on how to keep it light and do it effectively. Your channel is awesome and I am working my way through.
Thanks much! Where are you located? The products I use (Fishstone) are available in US, Canada, and UK/Europe. You can definitely make your own GFRC mix buying sand and cement locally, but you'll still need to order at least the polymer, plasticizer, and AR fibers.
PS I've got a thorough write-up of all the mix options for gfrc in this Instructable. Its a good place to start in order to figure out what's best for you. www.instructables.com/id/GFRC-Floating-Concrete-Hearth-for-Concrete-Wood-Fi/
Modustrial Maker I looked up where to buy their products and it would be $460+ to ship two bags directly to me. I checked Amazon and it isn’t available to ship to my zipcode. I could buy a pallet from Fishstone and it would be $14.00 to ship but I don’t need that much. It’s the downside of living in Alaska :(.
Nice job adding all the foam microplastics to the environment! Just cutting and grinding the foam without a care in the world for where the dust and chips and going!!
Thanks! You can make your own if you get white Portland cement from a local masonry supply. Or, the Fishstone GFRC mix I used makes it much easier :) I'll update this video description with links to the mix and recipes shortly, or if you want to check them out now I do have those links and all my other concrete videos.
This video was so long I had a birthday and went to a relatives funeral before the paid sponsor even came on the screen
Sorry for your loss, my condolences.
Do you have a very short attention span?
barlow2976 your comment was so long I got to “have” and gave up reading, learned to play the viola, took a cooking class, and had diarrhea.
No "adblock plus"...noooooobbb XD
The sink was very work extensive ... not for everyone.

For those of you who do not own an air compressor, use a vacuum hose connected to the vac's exhaust port.
I see you beat me to it.

Love renovations and seeing how others get things done. Great looking and interesting journey. Thanks for sharing.
one small detail that is helpful in my view, which is adding a hole connected to the drain pipe that helps to drain the water faster
the hole should be in the top connected to the drain pipe
Love, love the bathroom at the end with the black sink.
Totally you.....
Really Nice..... but when grinding plastic do it Inside not Outside. All the dust will fly into the nature.
Then the dust becomes part of nature, thus completing the cycle!
You should also capture and reuse your farts when you decide to smell them. Your excessive fart smelling is going into nature and ruining our atmosphere.
Beautiful job

Next: A concrete bathtub. At least big enough to lie down flat on the bottom (Most tubs are only 5' long).
Just might have to do that 😉

You could pour a huge solid block ;) for vertical surfaces like the walls on this, you really need to spray...
