Some awesome tips on using a stick Trowel ,Bull float and the concrete ninja jumps on the screed once again . Also nearly get blasted by the pump . look out for it .
Thanks again Ninja for another awesome video. The stick trowel camera was a cool technique. Very much appreciate the hard work in concreting and shooting quality videos at the same time. Hope to see more of you and the hard working guys at Scott Young. Keep up the great work. Five stars!
I actually cut two of my handles in half, drilled holes for the buttons on a job i had like that with no room for handles. now i have four three foot handles that come in real handy from time to time. I wouldn't have put a funny trowel on it probably a fresno. but hey your shit seems to come out good so all that matters is the opinion of the guy writing the checks. keep doing what you do. I enjoy your videos .
so if I wanted a funny float,(not trowel) would you use the same piece that hooks on that loose style or would you rather have a different style for a float
Runnin screed board one hand true skill idk if you celebrate Thanksgiving. But happy Thanksgiving thankful for concrete ninjas awesome videos I do concrete everyday but come.home and watch it too lol
Ninja if you ever need little extra wait for your Fresno get some thick wall steel tubing slip on handles I got 4 different waits we youse them a lot when putting in joints😎take care mate
Greg Brown also you can just put a steel pin up inside the handle. Works pretty good too. 16” -24”-36” pin whatever weight you need to help. Always a pin laying around or just pull one. If you use steel pins for form work that is.
If so that stick trowel does not have the rocking type mechanism that the bullflowt has correct? you just twist As you would if you were hand trawling correct
Maybe it's us bc I agree with you seems a little wet for the trowel I'd be using the float to push the rock down a little more but to each his own I use the trowel once I can't use the float anymore, it's all prefferance
At 5 min when the concrete pump blew up on you.... You should've blackened the operator's eye. If you were pouring and that happens you need to blacken the mixer drivers eye. 👊🏻👍🏻concrete finisher lives matter ✊🏻
Concrete ninja one time a boom pump blew my friend like 15 feet in the air and across a street. He landed on his head And his back. We seriously give a black eye to someone every time a pump blows.
nonya buisness I deathly know where you’re coming from mate they were definitely lucky they did not have me . I’ve had a few words with the boss a few times 🤬👊 . I’ll deathly pass the word on 💪
BaberJacks Where did not add any water just came like that . It was even tested at the front so we cannot add any water on the jobsites . Just a cold day in the shade . 🤔
Nice video!do you guys set up all your jobs or does someone else do it?also do you saw cut your jobs?if so,you should do a video explaining how you do it and where they should be cut.
Sergio Mercado thanks bro no I do not set up but these guys on the job do . I just go and screed and finish For lots of different concrete is in Bundaberg Queensland . If you go back to my previous videos you will see one about cutting concrete . I will try and make one explaining where to cut the concrete in the future thanks for watching bro 👍
jeremy norton thanks bro no we did not use vibrating screed in Australia very often . I’ve been on jobsites when I use the roller screed . Most people just greeted by hand because they know it is going to be a lot flatter 👍
Adam Grace Hi Adam yes we did have foam against the building and Scott went out there on the boards and for our along the edge . 👍 I did a couple more times without the camera .
white slave owner hahaha I’m an Aussie too, been Concreting 2.5 Years and about to be licensed, thought I was saying it wrong this whole time 😂 it’s definitely Steel “Trowel”
U still have to get out on it on a trial machine.so whats the point..tool i like is like a weed eating smallntrial machine and it has blades and you can fo all around your plumbing and walls..no use for this imo..but everyone has there own method. Have tou everbuse the weed eater type small triLl machines yet Make life a little easier for sure.

Damn nice video brotha!! Love the camera usage👌

Menards and Home Depot sell these 3 foot Fresno trowels that I don't get how the bracket attachment works. It seems unbalance.
Ninja if you ever need little extra wait for your Fresno get some thick wall steel tubing slip on handles I got 4 different waits we youse them a lot when putting in joints😎take care mate

Greg Brown that’s an awesome idea bro I was just talking to Scott about that yesterday that’s a good invention bro 👊

Keep up the videos ninja!
Maybe its just me, but was it still bleeding? Looked to be a bit too soon to be on it with a finish trowel
No it's just you
Maybe it's us bc I agree with you seems a little wet for the trowel I'd be using the float to push the rock down a little more but to each his own I use the trowel once I can't use the float anymore, it's all prefferance
@@meawake8542 thats how i was taught. Use that float until its an absolute burden. Then hit it with the steel🍻
Love all the videos
How to use a stick trowel:
First off, make sure the edges are clean
At 5 min when the concrete pump blew up on you.... You should've blackened the operator's eye. If you were pouring and that happens you need to blacken the mixer drivers eye. 👊🏻👍🏻concrete finisher lives matter ✊🏻
nonya buisness 😂😂👊😜

It would be fun to be able to participate and actually be there doing this ...
Best close up👍 If you could add some explanation in the edit as in a few of your latest videos that would be good 👌
God chooses some the strongest men and made them concrete workers.
4:37 Blowback from the last nights Vindaloo
How were cement sump baskets done??? We're they poured or premade
when buddy adds shitloads of water to make it screed easier ya gotta wait even longer in the shade
BaberJacks Where did not add any water just came like that . It was even tested at the front so we cannot add any water on the jobsites . Just a cold day in the shade . 🤔
yeh mate im just talking shit bout one of the blokes i work for
And so what? You criticizing?
@@concreteninja don't explain yourself to lames like him. Internet gave these wimps a voice all of a sudden.
Okay sorry I fix the spelling 😂😂
nice work mate.stupid question so is the key when your troweling to keep it as flat as possible
Daniel Nolan thats not a stupid question. And you're right. As flat as possible.
I start flat as possible and lift higher as it drys
Yes mate Daniel is right flat as possible The harder it gets the more you can lift it 👍
Once again beautiful job Ninja
Would have been the last time that pumper was on my pour! Not to mention the flippin mess on the wall!!!
Nice video!do you guys set up all your jobs or does someone else do it?also do you saw cut your jobs?if so,you should do a video explaining how you do it and where they should be cut.

Might be a pain but if you use a ladder you might be able to broom it in one hit. Is what is it though gotta work with what you've got! cheers
cLicKbre thanks bro it’s okay for this job cheers 👊
Awesome videos, I am a concrete contractor in Maine in the US. I want one of the screeds you guys use. How can I get one?
jeremy norton if you have a look on the Internet you will find some the ones we use are called master finish . Thanks for watching bro
👍🏻 thanks, it’s Nice to see people take concrete seriously and have fun with it. Does anyone use vibrating screeds in Australia.
The name of my business is Norton Concrete thanks again
jeremy norton thanks bro no we did not use vibrating screed in Australia very often . I’ve been on jobsites when I use the roller screed . Most people just greeted by hand because they know it is going to be a lot flatter 👍
jeremy norton Nice one if you ever want to be featured in one of my videos just send me a message on Facebook concrete ninja
Shoulda set planks over slab for finishing.
Did you have foam against building?
Adam Grace Hi Adam yes we did have foam against the building and Scott went out there on the boards and for our along the edge . 👍 I did a couple more times without the camera .
Thanks to the internet guys like you get voice to criticize and question as if your opinion really matters. Your a lame
Hahaha. What was worse Ninja, getting mud on you, or working the rake? :)
Spinafication it’s all fun and games in the mud 😂😜 but definitely getting mud on me 🤬
Stick “trowel” or “trail”?
white slave owner hahaha I’m an Aussie too, been Concreting 2.5 Years and about to be licensed, thought I was saying it wrong this whole time 😂 it’s definitely Steel “Trowel”
That’s why I’m a Concretor I can’t spell for shit 😂😜
