You should have more subscribers, you make quick and doable projects.
Some of the best simple projects out there - always curious what he does with all of his builds once he is done with the vids!
I made these last night. It worked to varying degrees. I found that drink cans worked really well. Thanks for the inspiration!
I love the simple DIY projects! As a Dad with a toddler, I don't have hours on the weekend to do things so this is perfect, thank you.
Love it! Beautiful, simple and elegant!
But can you do it in a parking lot?
Awesome idea! I prefer the one with the gradient effect
I hope you never have to move. You have so many concrete projects you'd break the moving truck :P
flatbed hauler would be needed. Also about 10 rolls of packaging wrap.
I too enjoy the simple 2 tone looks. I have never thought to use concrete quite like this!
My guess was that this being your last video I'd have a better chance at communicating what I want to you.
I love your channel. Not just the fantastic base idea behind it, but the execution, cinematography and all around production quality. The builds are not sacrificing any design beauty because of them being "DIY", which is probably what I love the most about all of your stuff. A++ from me. Amazing job.
I love this idea, and already have some quick set concrete and empty plastic bottles!
nice looks very modern
If you had put a straw through the concrete, then placed the wick through the cavity, you would have gotten refillable/reuesable candles. A fantastic idea nonetheless, especially as they can't get knocked over easily.
Won't te hole for te wick fill up with wax anyway? You'll need to microwave it first or pay as much of an effort into it as creating a complete new one.
It may lead to the candles burning all the way down the wick and burn the base but that is a clever idea
OutOfNamesToChoose Yeah but once it melts enough the wax wil drip all over the place through the hole.
My wife was just looking for candles like this yesterday, now we make them!
Can't wait for the inevitable DIY concrete mattress/bed 😂 lol jk love your videos
Great idea Ben! It would be cool if you used a smaller diameter water bottle and put that in the wet concrete. Let it cure, then remove the inner bottle and then pour the wax. This way the candle ends inside the concrete rather than on top and you would have a cool effect when you burn in down that low. Also, the concrete bases would be "refillable". All you'd have to do is a new wick and wax Awesome project though. The simple ones are my favorite too
Me - "Ok Google, where can I get ah shit you're a candle and now I look like an idiot talking to a candle"
Candle - "You look like an idiot regardless. BURN...pun intended"
Yeah, you made me giggle :P
Very nice projets! Congratulations
These candles are beautiful, I love the idea of adding gold dust to some of them.
silly question, but what do you do once the candle has melted? Can you re-use the concrete base?
you could use it in your garden landscaping.
i think its no silly, i have the same question.
Well, concrete is very cheap so it's not very wasteful if you just throw it away. A ton of people don't actually light their candles, they just use them as decorative items, so this candle is perfect for that :)
Keith West remember in the beginning he had to press the wick into the concrete while it was still wet.... however I guess you could just hot glue the wick to the concrete
No, don't reuse the concrete. It can cause an explosion capable of destroying a whole neighborhood.
Um...these are freaking AWESOME!
Very elegant. Nice video.
So sleek and modern! I love it.
I like the look Ben.
They look so beautiful 😀
Those came our great, Ben! Really really nice.
Be careful not to pour the wax until the concrete has set for a full days - I tried pouring after just a one day cure and the two separate and come apart very easily
COOL!!!!!
Nice candles, great decorations pieces!
They look very nice man, really!
Hello Ben,
I did the same, except for the wax, I couldn't find soy flakes, so I used paraffin and stearine and a Pringles box instead of plastic bottles. Problem is the wax did not stick to the concrete... So I have 2 pieces.
How could I glue them back together please?
I love your videos and your designs, thank you.❤👏
Thanks, Sophie
Great video mate. I love concrete builds!
Beautiful
Can you please make a video on mixing concrete At Different Water to concrete ratios. What they look like and how they hold up.
I've made 3 different candles like this and the candle keeps separating from the concrete. Please help me as I love this idea and just want to get it right
LOVED IT!
awsome i love your projects i even bought your book, how about making a simple portable concrete fire pit ?
thanks
great video, love your work!
thanks for watching!
Soy wax normally melts to a liquid - did you add something to the wax to stop this? Otherwise it will be all over your table after being lit for a short while.
probably just put something under it to catch the wax/liquid, except it will get all over the concrete sides.
Sooo cool!!! Luv it!!
The candles look great! However, may I advise (as a candlemaker) to use pillar molds. Using plastic bottles can be a hazard and a mess as the hot wax will certainly compromise the structure of it. Pillar molds are metal and easy to use. :)
I absolutely love these! So glad you experimented with a few variations as well!
Love this!
It looks amazing. My favorite are the minimal ones too.
Would it be possible to use the same plastic bottle, place the concrete base and pour wax on it again once it's over? Just thinking what would the base be useful for once you burn out the candle.
Very cool idea! Really enjoyed this one, but I figure these are purely for decoration.
How will you b able to change the candle though? You don't have a mold for the top anymore do you?
Fantastic 👍🏻👍🏻
These are great dude. 👌🏻
Mmm, it gave me some ideas!
I love these😍
Very Cool
I wonder if there is any way to do concrete moulds for stuff like this that are reusable so you could make a bunch without needing to collect a ton of old bottles/without having to throw what's left of the bottles away after.
This is so amazing and beautiful
i love your work and ideas. just out of curiosity, why concrete? why not wood or other sustainable materials? is it becuase it is affordable and easy to work with? just wondering. cheers.
Do you have the full instructions available yet? I'm wanting to try this this weekend. Thanks!
Could you make a platform bed please :) btw great video !
Cool!
Have you considered a vibrating table for your small concrete projects?
Would you be able to use paper milk/cream cartons to do something similar? I saw other instructions online for milk carton candles, but do you think the Quikrete would pull away from it easily??
yeah!!!!!!! 🔥
Hi there! I am wanting to make this however I am finding it hard to find the countertop mix here in Canada! Do you think a grout would work? I really want to try to achieve the light grey colour. Thanks, love your channel!! xx
Hey there. I love allnof your concrete projects however I live in Dublin Ireland and there are absolutely no premixed concrete products such as you use by Quickcerte available. Can you recommend a concrete formula that I could use. Thanks in advance.
Make a loft tour video
very nice project. Would you mind to publish the video on our website. Kind regards from Germany :) Sari
Hi ben, i've been following your channel for more than a year now, and i decided to start experimenting but i'm having trouble with the water/concrete ratio. Any thoughts?
I just tried this with quickcrete 5000. I had to remove the pebbles from it. Did you have to do the same?
Amazing! =D
Are the containers you mix the concrete in reusable?
Concrete! Snap!
Use a grout bag.
So this might be a silly question. But why do you use concrete over cement?
Concrete is made out of cement. Concrete is made of primarily three ingredients: cement (usually Portland cement), aggregates (sand and gravel), and water.
How's Jimmys shop?

Was the intended podcast schedule a weekly episode or bi-weekly? I've been staring at my podcast app tapping my foot waiting for it to update with a new episode. Keep up the great work!
HomeMadeModern Hey there, I can't get countertop mix anywhere near my area. What would be the best mix for these candles and anything else small like your dog feeder or small bowls? Thank you!
Damn bruh how much concrete do you have.
How many SmartWater bottles do you drink per day, not makeing fun just saying.
Like 👍
He made a pod cast about me my name 😃😃😃😃😃
Oh, so this has concrete but not the gym-in-a-box? What logic is being used here?
❤️❤️❤️👏🏽👌🏽
These candles are sooo lovely! I am certainly going to do this diy!
If you guys like a cheap and easy diy: check out my channel! I got a diy about copper leaves and it looks amazing!
When you say concrete, don't you really mean cement? Or am I missing something?
Or does the mix have sand or other aggregate in it...?
They look like Google Home
AGAIN with the concrete?!?!! Why not explore other more sustainable materials like recycled plastic bottles? or cork? I thoroughly enjoy your DIYs for their accessibility and simplicity. I just wish you would pay more attention to eco responsible materials.
