- In this video, I show how to make a DIY Waterfall Concrete Coffee Table with a Live-Edge wood slab inlay, and also show the woodworking involved to flatten a live edge wood slab and mill lumber for the base. Yes, this modern coffee table is made from concrete that is white :) I used a glass fiber reinforced concrete (GFRC) mix to get the gleaming white concrete. The live edge slab is Cuban mahogany and the legs are made from African mahogany.

If you haven’t worked with GFRC before, it might seem a bit intimidating; but it isn’t. It really isn’t a whole lot more difficult to work with than standard concrete, and the results that GFRC produces are amazing.

Hey all, I hope you enjoyed this one. One note for subscribers (something I did not know) -- RUclips changed the way that notifications work recently, so you have to subscribe AND hit the BELL BUTTON to get notified when new videos are uploaded. It used to be the bell button was on by default when you subscribed, but at some point over the last few months it has changed so the bell defaults to being off or occasional. (This doesn't make sense to me, but I don't get to make the rules.) I figured I'd pass this along because I noticed I was missing content from some of my favorite makers. No pressure of course, just figured I'd pass it along since this was new to me.
Modustrial Maker hello sir ..
i want the product name which are u used in ur videos like for wax and white concrete cement and epoxy lubricants....
Классная работа. Кайф
please l want to learn how best can you help me . l want a hands on training and selection of tools. ftorsoo@yahoo.com
I'm sorry I don't do 1 on 1 training, but I would suggest reaching out to fishstone concrete (www.concretecountertopsupply.com)) as they offer full training courses
For the leg portion, why don’t you put in a piece of wood into the mold in place of the foam. Use the same method of wood lag bolts to secure.
When you are ready to decide on the leg(s) , you have a place to screw into, instead of glue.
Man, that table is absolutely beautiful! I really enjoyed how you took us through your whole design on the fly process. Best Modustrial vid yet, imo.
Wow, thanks! That's why we keep making these videos...this one was done on a whim after WBC, but ended up being one of my favorites too.
Yeah, the video flowed really well!
The WOW Factors! Dope build.
Thanks Glen!
WOW! You one of the few RUclips makers that has consistently AWESOME builds! Keep it UP!
Thanks! I strive for quality over quantity, so that means a lot to hear!
Modustrial Maker
And you are succeeding!!!
that coats everything and gives you a really nice finish This is something you should
Damn, Mike! This is some next level stuff here, nice work!
Thanks Zach! Winter 2018... Concrete & steel collab project in Florida?
I learned so much in the video, you won me over and spraying the first layer of concrete in, that finish is great! Also really like how you attached the other leg with mdf fuse it, I would have made that way more complicated than needed, way to keep it clean and simple
Thanks Caleb! Spraying GFRC is messy, but fun. I am really bad at the last 5% ...I've been known to just rely on the weight of a tabletop to hold it to the legs, so Fuze-it was a step up for me :)
Haha, that's fantastic! I totally understand what you mean about checking out for the last 5%.
Waterfall weekend in the house!!! :)
Most definitely!
MAN! I’ve been watching a ton of videos of building concrete counters and such, this one by far in my opinion is the best.
Thank you! 🙏
Well done sir. I love that you're incorporating GFRC in your builds. Thanks for raising that bar. Cheers!
Thanks much!
Another fantastic project. I just picked up some old 8" x 8" posts and am going to get crazy with concrete in the spirit of the Modustrial Maker.
Thank you for plowing the snow on this process.
I've been getting inspired by epoxy projects, but you completely changed my mind in favor of the concrete. White concrete looks fantastic, clean and minimalist. My guess is that it is also cheaper than epoxy. Your designs are refreshing and unique.
I can watch your videos over and over and pick up something new every time. Keep doing what you do and thanks for sharing.
Thanks much for the kind words! I really try to hard to share new ideas with every project, so that means a lot to hear.
Just beautiful! Love the design!
Thanks +lignum -- coming from you that means a lot!
Finally had some time to watch, and it did not disappoint! Nicely done man, that white concrete looks super slick!
Thanks Shaun!
just the best work and design in concrete table I've ever seen!!
Thanks for the kind words!
A love the improvised rails. Just great!
Two thumbs up! I am a concrete guy during the work week and spend every weekend (and as much of my evenings as my wife will let me)in my wood shop. I want to thank you for your videos, I learn something every time I watch. You are inspiring me to "mix" my crafts more and more. Keep up the good work.
Guy Reman since you are a concrete guy, do you think this design will face a problem with expansion if it's outdoors? thank you
Thanks! Yea, I love the mix of concrete and wood. What type of concrete work do you do?
Re: expansion... I think it would depend on exposure to the elements. When the wood is inside the concrete it is very hot and humid ( the chemical reaction as concrete cures produces a ton of heat). If you let the wood get soaked in rain then maybe it has the potential to expand more than it did in the form. But, if you cover it when not in use, I'm guessing it would be ok. Also, unlike standard concrete, gfrc can actually bend a bit before it cracks, so it handles expansion much better.
I watched at least 5 of your videos and am very impressed with you designing ability. I had 4 oak trees taken down on my property, got them slabbed and made a 14 1/2 foot tressle table and four 7 foot bench seats. The top was carried in by 8 of my friends. I will like and hit the bell.
Thanks Dan! Sounds like you've done some pretty cool projects as well! 👍👍
This table looks incredible! Very interesting to watch the cement aspect of the process. Cool idea and great execution!
Thanks Jared!
Looks awesome! Makes me want to work with concrete
Thanks! It is messy, but fun! Let me know if you have any questions - I'd be happy to help you out.
This is next level. Brilliant
Looks absolutely amazing! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you!
Fantastic project and even better explanation! Great job mike!!
Thanks much!
This is seriously good, quality work mate! Inspired to give this a try! Thanks for sharing
Thanks! Would love to see what you create if you give it a go.
That is super beautiful. You are a genius
Thanks much! 😎😎
That thing turned out sweet, Mike! I love the shape of it. When I saw the Wooden leg at first, I thought it was just square. Nice touch to make it follow the table shape!
Thanks Bruce! I totally designed this as I went and didn't figure out the leg design until the table was done. I was planning to make a full quadrilateral leg, but didn't quite have enough mahogany so I modified it to be a 3 sided leg. I actually ended up liking it because it is a bit less heavy looking that way.
Modustrial Maker sometimes, designing as you go can yield great results!
I agree! I'm starting to try and plan ahead a bit more when possible, just for video editing purposes. Doing things out of order and multiple times can make for some tricky editing :)
That was a really well put together video! I appreciate the effort you put into it..
Thanks!
Man I’m loving your style. Can wait to start incorporating more concrete into my builds!
Thanks again Nick!
Can or can't ?
@@lifeshort lol thanks for reminding me: Thank you to the legend Modustrial Maker. I've been doing tons of concrete as a business I started during covid.
Yup, I saved this one💖
And I just subscribed. And selected the Bell notification. Brilliant design
Thanks Dee! Glad to have you as part of the community!
Amazing and inspiring work. Love your vids!!!!
Thanks much! Glad you enjoyed it Peter.
Beautiful Table✨
Thank you!
Wow beautiful work! Never thought of concrete as a potentially beautiful building material. Great combo with the waterfall wood.
Thanks Ruben! Btw, saw your email....just landed back stateside from vacation and will get back to you tomorrow when I'm in the office.
@@modustrial Thanks! No worries.
I kinda binged on your vids today... Very inspiring builds!
Waowww....you are too good man. Now datt wat i call one of the masterpieces👍
Thank you!
Awesome, man. I love the white concrete.
Thanks much! I like the white too :)
Awesome man
Thanks much!
That’s just awesome!
Thank you!
Brilliant!!!
I like it , this is a master piece!
Thanks Maria!
Amazing work MM!
Thanks much!
Honestly speaking I love every live edge table you've made so far. They're always "classy" looking. But would you be open to making something probably larger than these tables? Like a kitchen island with chairs to match! The concrete looks just as good as marble in my opinion.
I agree that concrete is on par with marble and other "luxury" solid surfaces :) I would love to make a bigger table or island....it is just a matter of the space to do it :) I don't think my shop is big enough for a full dining table or spraying a 4x8 island. i will find a way though at some point soon.
awesome, can't wait to see when it happens then! I'm always checking in on your videos any how. haha
Thanks! It will probably be Q3 or Q4....but, I've got some big plans coming up that should tide you over :) My bedroom needs a full makeover so I'm going to be making an ambitious bed...then I'm going on a bit of a tour to do some collaborations and combine my GFRC designs with some skill of other RUclips makers you are probably familiar with....
Sounds exciting definitely can't wait to see then! Maybe your bedroom make over will give me some ideas on mine that I had emailed you about a bit ago haha! Haven't had the time to do ANYTHING with it yet.
oh yea -- I need to get back to you on that. Still on my to-do list!
Beautiful table
Thank you!
Beautiful!!!!!!
Thank you!
Killer table Mike!
Thank you! 🙏
Great work and good video 👌👊 thx for sharing
Thanks much! 👊
So awesome, well done
Thanks Jesse!
Very Beautiful. Awesome
Thanks much!
Awesome vid dude! I'm hopefully moving into a real shop at some point this year - really want to tackle these GRFC type projects once I have the time and space to make it happen. Thanks for the inspiration!
Thanks much! That is great news about the shop. You've done some amazing work with limited tools, so I'm excited to see what you can do with a full shop!
It's a beauty!
Thanks Jessie!
This was pretty neat! You could also add some LEDs to the underside cavity.
Thanks! I've definitely thought about LEDs under a table, but having a cord to the coffee table always held me back. Now that I figured out battery powered LED setups in some recent builds, I'll probably add some to an upcoming coffee table project
Beautiful project 👍🏻
Thank you!
I'm really starting to come around on this white concrete, dark wood combo. Also, it's not epoxy so that's always a plus.
Thanks! I love it. Epoxy as a whole can be cool, but I'm with you if you are referring to all the sparkly crap. Some nice solid black or white epoxy can be nice tho
I am New to your community.VerryNiceJod on
The Table.👍
I look forward to hear from you.
God bless,
Ken
Thank you much! Welcome to the community!
him: hey makers!
me binge watching at 1am w 0 building materials whatsoever: that’s right.. i am a MAKER...
Amazing. Very beautful 🤗
Thanks Viviane!
love it!!!!!!!
Thanks Stephanie!
Awesome build!
Thanks Craig!
Gorgeous!!!!! Great work. New subbie!
Thank you!
Good upload very creative!
Thanks!
Buen trabajo, como haces para darle el acabado así como mármol, o es sólo con el hormigón y la fibra de vidrio, o es un tipo de acrílico al final gracias
Nice!
Very nice, Bravo.
Thank you!
Complimenti, bella la tecnica dei perni che legano il legno al cemento e bella la gamba di legno aperta.
Ciao
Awesome
Thanks!
Amazing and beautiful work. Would this build technique and material be suitable to create an outdoor bench/seat? Would it stand up to the elements? Thanks.
Good working for beautiful working💖💖💖💖💖💖👌👌👌👌👌
Thank you!
@@modustrial see my youtube channel furniture rayat
That is totally insane.
Thanks much!
Love the table!
I have a question that you may or may not be able to answer: I did a table top with concrete and live edge and the concrete seems to be separating from the slab. There are lag bolts to connect the two, so I’m not sure what I did wrong. Any ideas?
Magnifique
Merci beaucoup!
Looks awesome 👏🏻 i think iron legs would make the piece of wood pop more.
Thanks! Iron or steel would look great. Good idea
Potential alternative: instead of trying to save weight by using the foam, use a couple of lengths of threaded rod as rebar. But bend them 90° at the end, so you can have them stick out perpendicular to the table bottom. Subsequently, use these rods to bolt the leg in place. The leg would just need a wooden baseplate where it attaches to the table, but that one can be fit inside the leg so it remains out of sight.
I think this would work, but to me at least seems much more complicated (and without the foam, the table would weigh more and unnecessarily use a lot more expensive GFRC mix).
The table looks great, one question i have What size was the dewalt thickness planer? I didn't see it in the description.
Haha I like that trap beat at 10:57
Thanks! I've got some pretty diverse taste in music, so I try to mix it up in the vids...
7:14 wow you're a good looking dude - great video too.
Ha, thanks!
Did you add coloration to the concrete to get that white color?
Wow!! Thats all i can say. Came out frigging smooth as a baby's bottom. Only thing though. I really wished you had recorded taking it out of the form.... oh well!! I'm curious what you applied to the cement at the end? Sealer/ topcoat..? Also what grit did you use to sand the cement, and is it a wet sand or dry? Obviously i would like to try and make something similar. I do appreciate the information I'm getting from watching your channel.👍 keep up the great videos bud. Big thumbs up & sub'd a long time ago. Thanks again ☺
I used a sealer available from fishstone...I'll have to check. I've had success with their stuff and Cheng concrete countertop sealer (link to that in the description).
Also, wet sand, by hand just a few passes, with 400 grit. If you are curious about more details on the form and demolding, check out my other white gfrc table video and the LED countertop video...I also have instructable write-ups with tons of little details that won't fit into the video format ... My Instructables user name is also Modustrial maker.
Hello good video
Thank you!
Pretty cool. I wonder if the wood will be able to split that concrete as it moves.
It shouldn't...when the concrete is curing, the wood is an extremely hot and humid environment. It is hard to imagine it will expand much more than it did while in the form.
I seriously love what you do, i know nothing about making stuff like this but you straight up won me over. Do you have measurements for the stuff u built so that i may gt someone to replicate for me. But i do believe i can do some of ur concrete work on my on
Thanks! If you want more detailed instructions, I have written instructables over on Instructables.com (I'm Modustrial Maker on Instructables too)
Awesome videos and quality work 👍🏻 what model dewalt planer are you using there?
Thanks! I forget the exact model number, but it's their smallest current model.
You are awesome
Thanks!
Modustrial Maker anytime! Helps that your so talented and easy to watch
hey there, thanks for the awesome videos. Two quick questions. Would this white concrete work well for whole kitchen counters? And does it stain easily? Thanks again
Yes, it is great for countertops. With sealer, it is similar to marble, so it takes a bit of care to keep it nice
SUPERB VIDEO APPRECIATED U R HARD WORK LOVE ❤️U. CLASSY MAN HAVE NO WORDS 😶 ❤️. KEEP GOING 😍
Well this is just slick. How long do you wait for the caulk to cure before spraying? I always had issues with the acid etching my edges.
Thanks! I usually let it cure overnight, but you can get away with shorter waits ( e.g. a few hours). As long as it has solidified you are good to go
Love the hack and stab approach. You certainly got there in the end and in elegant fashion. For some reason concrete freaks me out. The mix... the timing... the consistency. You do make it look easy. The spray gun is awesome but for noobs, whats the best way to get the cleanest top coat? Wetter? Less aggregate? NO aggregate?
Thanks! Yea, sometimes I have to wing it when things don't go as planned :) for a first timer, I recommend just pouring in a thin face coat layer. Check out my video for the concrete and copper wall rack...I demonstrate this approach in that video. It works really well as long as you don't have large vertical surfaces.
Thank you. I'll check it out.
Sooo. Was the black caulk still on the wood and in between the concrete after demanding? Not sure why you would want a small gap between the two? I get you don’t want concrete to go underneath but with the wood flattened would that even happen? Thanks love your work!!
Have you come across any way to make a seamless transition between wood and concrete? Great work! thanks
If you have a crisp corner on the wood, and weigh the wood down well, you might be able to get a seamless transition using no caulk....it's just risky
Can you use this product for outside concrete slab
Great video, I'm a new subscriber and I'm loving it!! Keep going. Also what is the name of the song at 11:00???
Thanks! I actually lost the Resolve project files in a hard drive crash and am not sure the name.....I know I got it from Epidemic Sound in their Trap category.
When you apply the paste wax do you apply it just over the area you put the caulk? Or over the entire piece?
Over the entire form just to be safe. I use acetone or mineral spirits to remove it before spraying the concrete
Fantastic work, thanks for the great video. Will you "complete" the inner side of the concrete leg? The outside is WOW yet the inside seems less classy... (at 0:06) and anyone standing at a corner will notice
That is why I don't do products for customers :). In person, you really don't see it, so I'm leaving it as is. The camera was at a low angle that allowed it to be viewed, but from a normal sitting or standing position it is pretty much hidden.
What is the base coat ? and thanks for the video .
nice job ! i am interested in what GFRC supplies you use ?
Thanks! Links for the products I use are in the video description.
Hi! I love the mix materials idea! It's great! But I am worried the wood is bend or shrunk after few seasons when the temperature or humidity change. Could this problem make a gap between the concrete and wood or make the wood expand to break the concrete? Do you think it is a problem?
Thanks! That is a bit of a concern, but I've had a few of these pieces for a couple years with no issue. Really, it could shrink, but because it is so humid in the form while the concrete is curing, I don't think there is much risk of expansion cracking the concrete
Maybe I missed it in the video, but Did you use a white pigment for the gfrc concrete or was that the natural color of the mix you have linked ?
sweet videos man!!! can i add fiber glassd to a regular concrete mix? i live in a small town in Patagonia, south America. We dont have countertop mixes, not materials to make my own mix. Would it work to add fiber glass to a regular concrete mix?
Thanks! First thing to know is normal glass fibers don't do much good because the alkalinity of concrete breaks them down. You need alkali resistant (AR) glass fibers. Also, just adding AR fibers to normal concrete will help, but isn't the same since you don't have the polymer and plasticizer that you need for GFRC to work and achieve the low water to cement ratio. Try doing a Google search for "GFRC South America" and see if there is a distributor closer to you.
Hi there, really love your projects!
I've got a question, wich router drill do you use to plane the wood with the router? cause i use a U cutter and got owfull marks without having any gap, really don't understand... Thank you!
Thanks! Look for a 1.5" router flattening bit. There are a few on Amazon
Awesome work. Why do you use black caulk? Can it not be any silicone?
Thanks! It needs to be 100% silicone but any color works....black is easier to see against the white melamine so you can tell if there are any flows in the caulk line and fix them
Beautiful! Quick questions, what size air compressor do you use for the hopper gun and what's the CFM on it?
I use a tiny 6 gallon Porter Cable pancake compressor. It is 150 psi max, but really you only need 40 psi or so continuous for it to work. Most any air compressor will do the trick.
Modustrial Maker thank you!!!
Came out niceee. What kind concrete u used? Brand?
I used Fishstone GFRC mix. There is a link in the video description
