- 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.
The WOW Factors! Dope build.
Thanks Glen!
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!
Waterfall weekend in the house!!! :)
Most definitely!
Just beautiful! Love the design!
Thanks +lignum -- coming from you that means a lot!
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%.
that coats everything and gives you a really nice finish This is something you should
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.
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.
Finally had some time to watch, and it did not disappoint! Nicely done man, that white concrete looks super slick!
Thanks Shaun!
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.
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! 🙏
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!!!
A love the improvised rails. Just great!
just the best work and design in concrete table I've ever seen!!
Thanks for the kind words!
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.
Well done sir. I love that you're incorporating GFRC in your builds. Thanks for raising that bar. Cheers!
Thanks much!
This table looks incredible! Very interesting to watch the cement aspect of the process. Cool idea and great execution!
Thanks Jared!
Looks absolutely amazing! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you!
Beautiful Table✨
Thank you!
This is next level. Brilliant
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.
That is super beautiful. You are a genius
Thanks much! 😎😎
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! 👍👍
Fantastic project and even better explanation! Great job mike!!
Thanks much!
That was a really well put together video! I appreciate the effort you put into it..
Thanks!
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.
Amazing and inspiring work. Love your vids!!!!
Thanks much! Glad you enjoyed it Peter.
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 :)
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.
Killer table Mike!
Thank you! 🙏
Awesome man
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!
Awesome, man. I love the white concrete.
Thanks much! I like the white too :)
Brilliant!!!
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!
Beautiful table
Thank you!
Amazing work MM!
Thanks much!
Waowww....you are too good man. Now datt wat i call one of the masterpieces👍
Thank you!
That’s just awesome!
Thank you!
I like it , this is a master piece!
Thanks Maria!
him: hey makers!
me binge watching at 1am w 0 building materials whatsoever: that’s right.. i am a MAKER...
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!
So awesome, well done
Thanks Jesse!
Very Beautiful. Awesome
Beautiful project 👍🏻
Thank you!
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!!!!!!
Thank you!
It's a beauty!
Thanks Jessie!
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
Complimenti, bella la tecnica dei perni che legano il legno al cemento e bella la gamba di legno aperta.
Ciao
Amazing. Very beautful 🤗
Thanks Viviane!
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!
Gorgeous!!!!! Great work. New subbie!
Thank you!
Awesome build!
Thanks Craig!
I am New to your community.VerryNiceJod on
The Table.👍
I look forward to hear from you.
God bless,

Thank you much! Welcome to the community!
Great work and good video 👌👊 thx for sharing
Thanks much! 👊
love it!!!!!!!
Thanks Stephanie!
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!
Awesome
Thanks!
Magnifique
Merci beaucoup!
That is totally insane.
Thanks much!
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.
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).
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?
Looks awesome 👏🏻 i think iron legs would make the piece of wood pop more.
Thanks! Iron or steel would look great. Good idea
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!
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.
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.
Good working for beautiful working💖💖💖💖💖💖👌👌👌👌👌
Thank you!
@@modustrial see my youtube channel furniture rayat
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)
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.
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.
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
The table looks great, one question i have What size was the dewalt thickness planer? I didn't see it in the description.
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
You are awesome
Thanks!
Modustrial Maker anytime! Helps that your so talented and easy to watch
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.
Hello good video
Thank you!
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
Did you add coloration to the concrete to get that white color?
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.
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
nice job ! i am interested in what GFRC supplies you use ?
Thanks! Links for the products I use are in the video description.
La idea es buena, original y es bonita. Lo único, la forma de la mesa, ¿no parece un poco como un ataúd?
I liked the table a lot really nice job. What type of concrete do you use? I noticed it doesn't have any aggregate in.Great video thanks for sharing 🇬🇧
Thanks! I used fishstone GFRC mix for this. The thin face coat doesn't have aggegrate other than fine sand (about 30 grit). It is just the GFRC mix with water added to it. The back coat uses alkali resistant (AR) glass fibers as the aggregate. In the video, I show this being added to the GFRC mix before pouring it into the form. Links to everything are in the description.
PS fishstone is just setting up a UK and European distributor, but I don't think it is on their website yey. I'd email them directly if you are interested
Modustrial Maker I'm very interested, thanks for taking the time too respond 👍
Of course! Happy to help if you have more questions
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!!!
I noticed there wasnt any need to fill in spots where air bubbles formed. There was never a really close shot of the finished concrete, but were there no bubbles because you sprayed?
Did you fill the underside in with concrete to cover the foam?
No, just left a cavity in it, I show it at the end of the video when I add the leg
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
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!!
Hey,Modustrial maker.. Awesome work Man..loved it..👌❤️ ...and I need a suggestion for I'm making a DIY waterfall of about 4 feet tall..and I ain't getting what material should I use to make the waterfall design as it should B waterproof also..Any suggestions!!!
Thanks much! GFRC (glass fiber reinforced concrete) is the way to go for a waterfall. There is no concrete that is entirely waterproof, but there are many sealer options that do a good job of protecting it. Check the links in the video description for the products I used. I would definitely suggest working up to a waterfall project -- it really helps to have a project or two using GFRC under your belt beforehand. There is a bit of finesse to adjust the water and plasticizer so that the mix is solid enough to pack vertically, so having a project or two to get a feel for how the mix behaves is a good idea.
Yup..thanks alot...I'd definitely try it out as you suggested...✌️☺️
Cool, would love to see what you make. Also, I have a number of Instructables with more written details on GFRC (just search there under "Modustrial Maker" and you'll find them). They might help a bit as they go into a lot more detail than I do in the video.
Hi. Great work, full pro. I like it much. I would like to ask what is the reason of using wax paste first and cleaning all of it with the spirit?
Thank you for sharing your video
Thanks much! The paste wax is what allows you to remove the excess caulk...otherwise the caulk squeeze out sticks to the form. But, if you leave the wax during the pour, you can get an uneven look on the surface of the concrete.
@@modustrial ok, now I know. I thought wax paste was used to prevent concrete from sticking to melamine.
You make very nice project. I hope someday I will make my own. All the best for you. Thanks again for the videos
Came out niceee. What kind concrete u used? Brand?
I used Fishstone GFRC mix. There is a link in the video description
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 ?
