You are absolutely correct, iFone. This is a very creative and helpful tip. I love watching and using this feature. It helps keep me from getting lost or confused. Glen is an awesome creator.
Thanks for the tipp with the WD40 as Mouldrelease. Now Heres a Tipp for you ;) instead of taking the super heavy Bags of concrete MIX. Ill use Gallons as a messurement now, you can scale it down, since Liter's would maybe confuse you =). You can take 5 Gallons of Woodchips (i like use Small Animal Litter) and add ~2.1 Gallons of Water, mix that up and let it soak for an Hour. Later on you can add 2 Gallons of Zement (no mix stuff just zement) if its to dry or thick add water or zement. That kind of mix is called Wood-Concrete its light while still being durrable (perfect for tables) You can reinforce it how you want, by using your rough reinforcement wire, finer Mesh (like used in building a stable for rabbits) or 1 gallon Glasfibers per mix mentioned before. I made a Tabletop where i was testing sitting on. Dimensions where 2" thick and 2x4 foot in size. im at arround 250 pounds and it didnt broke. One Cool plus is, due to its relatively "soft" nature, you could make a Big sheet and cut it on the Tablesaw after also you can use your regular wood tools like a round over bit, BUT take this with a grain of salt and allways use old tools. According to this nice Video my Tabletop would waight ~30 pounds not 160 pounds like yours. For outside you have to seal it realy good. Downside of this Wood concrete is, the Tabletop takes 3 days to cure and another 2 weeks to fully dry out (if not left in the sun), due to the nature of Wood not being Stone or Sand.
Absolutely my favorite creator on here. Simply because, You are extremely explanatory. Thou I don't have half the tools you have for professional outputs in my home, I absolutely love your contents. They teach me a lot. Question: Do you have a video on how to make a "transformable wall cabinet / table"? I would love to see you do this and explain each stage while making. Of course, the modern way :)
Glen, this is a great looking table. I love the concrete top and also the heavy duty look of the wooden supports. Since it's going outside, I think I'd go for some type of stone or concrete footings that would sit on the ground with a metal spacer placed between the footing and the leg of the table. My inspiration is the legs that hold up my patio cover. BTW: It's good to see you doing videos again. I've missed your content.
For my outdoor cedar furniture on a concrete patio, I use nail in, nylon caster pads. They are maybe 1.25" in diameter, and have a layer of rubber between the nylon and the object being attached to. They are durable and weatherproof.
Make 4 square concrete molds 6x6x4,insert a dowel pin or steel screw into the center of each one ,let dry and bore a hole into each corner post and join.there is your outdoor ready feet and they match the theme of your table.Excellent work BTW.
I love this table. I know its designed for outdoors, but I could certainly see it indoors as well. I can also imagine this table with a tile mosaic on the top (but that's just me)
1:20 Melamine is a great material, but for those who haven't worked with it before, you should pre-drill for EVERY screw, both faces and edges. It's basically particle board, and driving a screw into the edge without predrilling will cause a split every single time. But you should also predrill every hole through the face, because screws will chip and split the melamine veneer as well. It's not flexible, so it'll crack and chip out easily. Chipping is also a major concern when cutting, if you're working on a finished piece and not a concrete form.
What I did was drilled out holes for star nuts and used carrage bolts. But you can find plastic feet on a bolt you just have to use a nut that attaches to the wood. But no glue is water proof not even tightbond Iii water can devolve it. So any points that hold weight should be pinned with split top dowls you can drive a wedge into. Its all wood and its not comming apart. Tabld looks great, I used an outdoor stain for decks on mine in a moghany color but differt project, color looks pretty close. I also used Cypress.
That is awesome looking! Not sure what you want for look with feet, I might suggest square or rectangular metal tubing, angle cut like a picture frame to fill in ends, or if ordered wider V cut at ends filled in, to fill in the open end of tubes. Then screw into bottom. Can play with a designs in the metal finish with sandpaper (lots of small circles, straight lines, polish, etc.).
@@DIYCreators I forgot to note I really like your design for the bottom shelf. Can use metals that don't rust or tarnish (like copper does). Examples - aluminum, some stainless steel, galvanized steel, brass, bronze. Aluminum might get the look you're looking for, and is cheap. When I build my workshop, I plan to make aluminum square bases under 4x4 wall bench legs so they don't corrode from water over time (can clean floor with hose) - cut to form square like a picture frame, drill large hole on bottom for screwdriver to fit, small hole on top for screw to 4x4.
You may consider using a Milwaukee reciprocating multi tool to cut out those tedious chisel notches instead. Makes quick work of tasks that traditionally required a chisel.
I love your videos. The projects look fantastic and hard to makebut you break them down fantastically and then we find out there’s no fancy tools needed! They’re accessible to the average hobby woodworker while looking fancy!
Great video, love how you break down the steps so you can see the pieces you are working on. I probably would add hardware to secure the wood and add industrial weight caster wheels since this is a heavy table and would aid in moving it. Thanks for the good, clear video!!
Watch the wood whispers video on epoxy feet, especially for end grain. You basically make a channel for the feet with painters tape and make a 3/8 inch pour to keep the wood from sitting in water. I do it all the time.
I’ve just bought three lengths, approx 7’ long of reformed 4” X 1” plastic, which comes in several colours, I’ve gone for anthracite. It can be treated as timber, but naturally, requires suitable adhesive, but can be very versatile 👌
Dope project! John peters just did a tip on how to add a drip edge to a wooden table top. Might be interesting to add a drip edge to a concrete table top. Maybe by pressing in a something from below around the edge during curing, this way the wooden base would be more protected.
Very nice table and extremely high durability on the surface due to the concrete. I like how simple the design of this project is because I don't recall seeing one screw being used on the table only on the mold. I will definitely add this to my project list.
This was an amazing build, it is simple, elegant, contemporary & functional for both indoor & outdoor usage. Brilliant design and as always great commentary on steps to make. Think will be building this one 😊
That cement table top looks so easy! I love it! I’m gonna try it on my channel but not the complicated bottom, it’s out of my skill level & tool level! Lol I’ll make a more simple bottom
Make pads out of epoxy, you can get marine epoxy for great water proofing. I usually drill into the bottom a little bit for the pads to have something to hold on to, then build it up with a wooden frame that will come off, this will give you some raised water resistant protection. I would also look into an outdoor rated oil finish because if left out in the sun, and elements, urethane won't last long.
On the MAN about TOOLs channel, he used a reciprocating saw with out the blade to vibrate his forms to get rid of air bubbles. Just puts the saw’s foot up to the form and gives the trigger a bump. Might try that next time. Regardless, this bench looks great!
The pucks can be made from a 2.5 qt plastic paint pail and use the bottom 2 inches as the puck. Then affix pucks with construction adhesive to bottom of legs.
looks good. I've been want to try concrete too. And like many DIYers we have all been 'sort of underestimated the amount of cuts to make' stage. I've been there many, many times
I just found your channel and I'm in love with all your project so far. I can't believe you don't have more subs. your work is amazing. I shared your channel on my Facebook.
This is gorgeous ! You really have a great eye for design, and your concrete form is so much simpler and easier to understand than anyone else's! Now, can you do one with bits of colored glass in it and teach me how that works?
Did you attach the tabletop to the legs or just let the heavy weight of concrete rest on the legs? If needed how do you mount wooden legs to a concrete top?
Good job! Since the table is for outside use, it would be nice to know how many years it can keep it smooth surface. Have you considered putting coat of epoxy to seal the surface from water penetration?
How do you attached tabletop to the frame? Everyone sort of skips that part... Did you just plopped that tabletop on the frame and then... "Yeah that's fine..."
@@DIYCreators No wonder you're making stuff out of concrete now it's probably cheaper than lumber LOL. BTW How much did the table top weigh at the end? Just curious.
@@ConcernedCitizenPPCA He said he used 2.5 - 80lb bags of concrete so thats 200lbs right there plus another 25 lbs of water which some does evaporate out so lets say 20 lb and Id say about 30-40lbs of lumber, all in all my guess is about 250-300 lbs..... insane 😂
Great video. I'm sure the backyard is looking good with the deck, the fire table, the couch and chairs, etc. If the bubbles are an issue, what options are there? Would a wetter mix be easier to vibrate bubbles out of, maybe an additive to the concrete, or even just filling them in with grout after the top is finished?
For your foot problem, you could make them out of concrete. And you can can tint that batch to make it blend or whatever. Blocks about 1 or 2" think to rest it on would do the trick.
PERLITE ADDED TO THE CONCRETE makes it somewhat lighter and usually doesn't affect the structural strength....find it in the garden supply area of any big box store....
cheap feet: (for outside) a few big galvanized carriage bolts (round head) screwed into the wood, maybe with a few nuts and a washer to let them stick out an inch or so. But given the weight of this thing I'd probably go with swivel casters so it can be moved around more easily (and not scratch floors if used inside). The kind you can get for office chairs that use roller blade wheels can each hold 150lbs (so 600lbs total) and also work well on medium to light carpet as well as floors. Easy to attach: drill a 10 or 11mm hole in the bottom of the leg (depending on the wheel's post size) and shove it in. You can get versions with a wheel lock (brake) as well. search "office chair roller blade wheels locking" Come in sets of five, so maybe with this design you stick one in the center too.
even the add was beneficial :) your doing great job. also using time so wisely, all the info is fast and as needed. Really I ENJOY TO WATCH EVERY SECOND 👌
I work in precast concrete facility and I can tell you that our surfaces of structural elements made with professional equipment looks like your hand made table. Good job!
Turned out great! You could cut some rubber strips from a horse stall mat for weather proof feet. I think an entire rubber 3'x4' mat at Tractor supply is $10 or $15. Pretty cheap and very durable.

i guess I am quite off topic but do anyone know of a good place to watch newly released tv shows online?
@Lance Karsyn i watch on FlixZone. You can find it by googling =)
This is a beautiful table. To reduce weight you can lay in foam over the wire mesh.
Yep, I thought about it after. There will be a next time.
@@DIYCreators Have you added feet to it yet? My first thought when you said outdoor feet was, hockey pucks
Great idea 💡
He makes everything look so easy
the "where I am" is really smart and helpful for following along and learning.
the table is beautiful.
Beautiful table..Very well made...As for the feet, I recommend hockey puck's, they are cheap and damn near indestructible...

I use Spar-urethane. One brand name is Helmsman. Made for boats/outdoor usage. It's a polyurethane with additives for UV protection and the elements.
Hey Chris, I have the same Spar-urethane as well. It's good. I have used it quite a bit.
The dark stain contrasts nicely with the light top
Thanks man! I dig the contrast as well.
