I wonder if you could have burned out the plywood from the middle. It would leave ash, but I imagine the ash is easier to clean/sand away than all the effort you put into removal on this one.
@@weeveferrelaine6973 Using a piece of high density styrofoam (as he mentioned) is the easiest way. Just pour a little petroleum based solvent on it and it melts away. Much easier than stripping a form, one splinter at a time.
Beautiful work, as usual The only drawback I can see are the lines around it that will collect dirt. They could be filled with coloured epoxy to give a smooth surface, perhaps a beige tint that matches the wood.
The “smooth/ribbed/smooth” exterior makes it look like 3 layers of material were used. Way cool job. We all appreciate learning from your first efforts! Thank you!
What I always appreciate is your determination to finish no matter what obstacles you encounter. I admire that hugely as it's a discipline I don't possess! Beautiful end result - as always, Thank you sincerely for sharing.
The part that makes you a craftsperson is learning to fix mistakes and take it in stride otherwise you'll never be able to learn (and apply those learnings) without constantly feeling like it's a failed project.
Nice work. As you discovered, right angles are the enemy of mold makers! Putting a slight angle on everything makes complicates building the mold, of course, but it sure does simplify removal! Showed the sink to my wife, and she got a thoughtful look on her face- until I pointed out that I just don't have time to build something like that!
@@PaskMakesat least for fibreglass blowing air into it is a nice way to get things out. Though I'd be a little wary of how those psi's add up over that much surface area with something brittle like concrete.
@@zyeborm I had 3/16 Formica type laminate stuck to a small countertop and tried everything to unstick it. I picked up my air hose and was blowing off the top of the laminate and it blew into a small hole I had drilled, and BANG! The whole darn thing came unstuck and cracked in several places. Powerful thing, air pressure...
At around 2:00, if you want to avoid your plywood getting exploded when you use the router, it might be a good idea to use some blue tape to protect them, this way, the cut will be perfect and it will not explode as a result, i saw that trick on youtube some months ago. I can’t remember which one but it did works.
Man with no vanity builds vanity! I’m just a few minutes in and I’m already smiling that you face, through any project, the same issues we all have, and are upfront about it.
I had problems with getting sheetfoam, too. So i used spray foam in an old pastic container and after hardening i shaped the inner mold out of that block. It was also a lot cheaper as the foam sheets would have been 😊
This mistake cost me hours of painstaking work, but I like the outcome better anyway. I might have just thrown it against the wall. 😂😂😂 Your positivity never ceases to amaze me. Well done as always.
@@turtleman190I was thinking the same thing: Five hours of sanding? Nope, I'd have tossed it on the garage floor and tried again or gone to the big box store and ordered one. lol
That contrasting ribbed and smooth texture make the sink look so good. I've never seen a concrete sink that doesn't feel like a concrete sink. They all have that utilitarian, industrial quality but yours feels more refined and beautiful. Thanks for the amazing videos! :)
Me being employed over 25 years in the prefabricated concrete building components I advise you to: A - taper the sides of the mold-component of the inner of the bassin. B - get to round of al te edges possible. C - for small component as this base you can use compressed air, just mount a coupler to connect a hose connected to a compressor. The looks are great !!
He was probably going for the Butler sink look, which features vertical sides to it. I have a big Butler sink for my kitchen. It's great! It's the proper ceramic one though. :P Big bastard thing is a 2 person lift as it is! I imagine a concrete one would be just as heavy! Definitely need 2 burly men for those kinda jobs. :P
Molds with patterns like that, consider place a small amount in and rolling it around edgways to allow the patterns to fill and release air bubbles, even brushing helps. Vacuum degassing or pressure would work too.
Looking great. 🙂 I always screw together my moulds, I never glue them; if doing deep casting then I add relief angles, 5 degrees relief goes a long way as help, but one has to think ahead how it is to come apart,
Making your own concrete sink: 8/10... inspiring more than a million people all round the world: a really significant life achievement. Hats off to you sir!
I'm gobsmacked at the beauty of it. I'm not a fan of concrete cabinets, countertops, and the like but I would love to have this in my bathroom. It looks perfect. The texture is interesting and all over it looks perfect with your cabinet. Thanks for sharing, Neil. Not only your "mistakes here" but your gorgeous sink.
Yeah, the natural concrete look isn't for everyone, but in the way of concrete countertops and the like, concrete IS a great base if you want to then cover it with some swirling colours of resin! I've seen some beautiful and crazy stuff done with that! Worth checking out. :D
The ribbed look on the outside of the sink is definitely different and turned out great. It stinks you had to go through so much sanding because of the stains. Can't wait to see more as this project progresses.
Thanks Mike! I wanted texture but still wanted something stylish - I think I achieved it. I didn't mind the sanding too much as I liked how it turned out in the end. :)
Nice job. I made a rustic style rectangular planter using 2 cardboard boxes, one for inner and one for outer shutter. As the concrete mix (cement, sand and peat ratio 1:1:1) was placed the cardboard deformed and was propped with sand (inside) and concrete blocks (outside) to create an irregular surface. Looks similar to an old carved granite trough.
For the corners, if you do this again, make one corner block, drill it out, then cut into 4 pieces, one for each corner. Much easier than drilling out 4 corners.
You have not thought this through. He had to make a extension as it was, just to drill out the depth he had for one single corner. To do one single one that is long enough to cut into 4 pieces of the right height, would be VERY difficult! If you meant in some other way, you're going to have to have a go at explaining it better, because this is how I understood you to mean.
@@TheMurlocKeeper My thought was as he's drilling out 4 quarters of 4 blocks. Instead make one block that is twice the width on both sides. Then drill out the centre. This would be easiest on a lathe. You wouldn't need a Forstner drill bit just regular lathe tools. Then cut the hollow block into four and glue them in place in each corner. Boring a hole on a lathe is a lot more simple than making a drill bit extension.
Turned out great Neil. I take my hat off to you for sanding those stains for five hours 🎩, but I guess when you’ve come that far there wasn’t an alternative 🌟
A jigsaw with an old blade hitting the mold sides also works well for removing bubbles, IME. And doesn't mind, the way a sander might. If you ever make another one, you might try acid staining as a finish before sealing it. It can create marvelous colors and patterns.
I've never done small forms like this. Doing huge forms, we often cut the plywood almost all the way through and brace it. Once you remove the bracing the inner form is easier to remove. Cheers.
Next one, you might want to install an integral over flow drain. Also? A heavy layer of wax on the plug and body helps to prevent staining and allows easier removal.
I made glass fibre concrete stuff for years. Sinks were the worst. Cake decorating ball tools make the best corner tool for silicone as they are always perfectly consistent. And that sander was a good tool for vibrating just would have been better using the foam face. Nice job!
Great Video Neil.. Lots of helpfull tips in there. Im glad you dont hide mistakes - cause it adds so much more to the video know what and why things happened, and how you remedy'd them.
Nice save, inside forms are always the tough ones to remove, cutting the form almost all the way through on the sides and simply adding a cross support makes removal far easier. The inside corner reinforcing blocks were not needed, the concrete had minimal weight and 3/4 plywood is plenty strong with a corner that is under compressive force. There again, adding internal lateral supports that are easy to remove is key. Concrete stain is another option for color. This sink turned out really well, the next one will be much easier.
I think he put that extra material inside the corners because he wanted to make sure there was enough material for the round-over. He didn't want to end up going all the way through.
The shot of that large piece of the mold coming off the bottom is extremely satisfying! And my condolences for the work that went into sanding out the CA glue. I hope your shoulders got a well-deserved rest afterward!
Well done Pask! I admire that you try so may different things and especially that you show your mistakes. Again, we’ll done. Darlington, South Carolina USA
I just realised that I would have taken that frame and did the wood sink with it , but great job . I'm going to try it and also wood sink since I like to do DIY projects even if sometimes it is so not working.
Wow, that was a lot of work. I admire your determination and patience. I genuinely thought that you were making a reusable mould for starting a side business. You put so much effort into making the mould, but it seemed like it was three times the work to remove it afterwards. You have an incredible amount of tenacity to see the job through 👍
Really, really nice, Neil. The minor imperfections are witness marks to the medium used. The ribbed surface was an inspiration and thankfully, the pva gave up the fight - phew! And doesn't it look grand against the wood of the cabinet. Art & utility in perfect harmony - now, go wash your hands hehehe!
I cast an epoxy granite machine base in a foam board mold and I found that out of all the spray on mold releases I used, by far the best was to use that Synthetic food grade grease with PTFE in it like Superlube makes or other companies.
Nicely done! Even with the extra sanding... The only thing I woud have added are steel bars or a mesh (more like a cage) all around to prevent fracturing later.
I love the ridges on the outside. I found a few times when I thought you'd made a mistake or were going to, but was quite surprised when it turned out to be the staining. Bummer that it took so long to sand out, but it turned out great.
For your first time the end result turned out amazing Mate, can't wait for more of the remodel. A cordless sawzaw with the blade removed makes a good option for vibrating out air bubbles.
I get Pask just explains stuff in his videos... but every video I learn new tricks! I think that's because he tells you when he messes up and how he messed up, I appreciate that! (because I would probably make the same mistake too)
Awesome work. I've worked with concrete in the past for larger scale things like driveways, sidewalks, & curbs. We always used hydraulic oil to prevent the sticking to our wooden forms. For a project like this, I'd think vegetable oil would work the same. Thanks for the video. :)
I used to use a product called 'Crete lease' working with glass fibre concrete. No matter what you use those damn sink moulds never ever come out easily.
Nice. I no its done now but i wonder with the stain if some Hydrochloric acid might have cleaned it up. And your right about the foam.. for the molds just use a little fuel to dissolve any leftovers.
That was a crazy amount of work, glad it turned out! I’m always nervous doing projects like that; where there are days of complex prep, and the final step can ruin it all.
One possible option vs. the yellow stains might have been to try a concrete stain/sealant -- the kind you use on garage floors. It might have worked, depending on the color of the stain...
If you decide to make more, you can make silicone or polyethylene molds of different densities for different applications. Would work very well for many copys of this sink. I have a workmate who did this as a side hussle doing sinks and dog bowls
Love it! Awesome work. The only thing I will say is after living in a place for a bit having flat bottom sinks is annoying. Residue from mouthwash/toothpaste ect always lingers. In a more traditional bowl shape it doesn’t happen nearly as much.
See how the concrete sealer goes. I ended up using a product called Trinic on my concrete benchtops after using another product which failed entirely, wasn't cheap, but 2 years on and it's holding up really well.

The only drawback I can see are the lines around it that will collect dirt.
They could be filled with coloured epoxy to give a smooth surface, perhaps a beige tint that matches the wood.
Wouldn’t the concrete crack from the heat if you burned the plywood?
@@steffenschaeuf6759 Yes, if you tried to use a torch to burn out the wood, the concrete would pop and spall all over the place.

I do this for a living with dry cast, i recommend tapering where you can and mold release oil works wonders. Apart from that, sound!
The amount of work that was put into making this makes watching you removing the mold nerve wrecking because it's very easy to chip the sink.

Absolutely blown away by how fast you are able to sand this mold by hand. It's insane. I've never seen anyone move that fast!
The way of the monk.

Reminded me a little bit of the old concrete laundry tubs from yesteryear. Although they weren’t as classy as this version. Great job.
The textured sides are a nice touch. 👍
