Dude, those are awesome! I'm gonna have to try this at some point!

[@JessedoesDIY]

Thanks, glad you like them! Go for it!

[@Pang-nn4eq]

This is also coincidentally a plausible bathroom vanity. Do you have any suggestions how to mount this on a wall for "floating shelf" look (i.e no fixings can be seen)? I know IKEA makes little channels inside the shelf which then slide onto metal pipes mounted on the wall. Is there a better way?

[@JessedoesDIY]

I have an actual bathroom vanity build recently as well as floating shelves similar to what you are referring I think

[@MissAussieChick84]

Thanks for your vid! This gave me everything I was looking for today as I start planning to build my outdoor table!

[@JessedoesDIY]

Glad I could help!

[@allenr265]

Does your concrete have aggregate ( gravel ) or is it just a sand mix. Can you please share what type you used. Thanks mate 😊👍

[@JessedoesDIY]

It has aggregate, yes. I just typically use the basic yellow bagged Quikrete, nothing fancy

[@evancemaifala9435]

Sir please help with the name of the product that u mixed with the cement "black solid*

[@JessedoesDIY]

It was charcoal liquid pigment from Quikrete

[@lucretiabenko708]

These turned out so good! I can't wait to make some for myself and decorate my fire pit tooooo!!

[@JessedoesDIY]

Awesome!

[@SifisoMdladla-vy5xe]

Can I have the list of material that You've used to build this table

[@LockStoppageSandwich]

Use your brain and work it out……………..don’t be so fecking LAZY 🫵

[@featherzbonez5195]

How well does the base stay attached when you pick it up and move them around ? I’m wanting to do a coffee buffet table 5’ x 20” x 2.5-3” thick just thinking how to attach to base ?

[@JessedoesDIY]

Depends on the weight of the base. These small tables are fine but a larger base won't be able to be picked up. The big thing is with a larger base is it stops the concrete from being pushed around or off the base. But it will pull up with a bit of effort if you ever want to remove or replace it later

[@mahaelbadry8497]

Does your concrete have sand?

[@JessedoesDIY]

All concrete has sand, I think you are referring to cement. Cement is one of the ingredients in concrete, along with sand and rock. What I used is premixed concrete, so it has all the ingredients and ratios, just add water. Hope that helps

[@jorgeescoto2905]

what a great project, I wonder how it would work if I make it longer like a table top, Have you done that before?

[@JessedoesDIY]

Thanks! Oh absolutely. The only thing is you'll need the center square section, and then the one that attaches to it you'll want one on each end instead of in the center for balance is all

[@R53Driver]

You mentioned that you used one bag, but what pound bag did you end up going with to be able to fill the two 15” squares?

[@JessedoesDIY]

Oh sorry. It was a 60 lb bag I used

[@LockStoppageSandwich]

Nice job 👍

[@JessedoesDIY]

Thanks!

[@sylvaingauthier4140]

Good job just what I want to do. Thanks for the advice it make sence.

[@JessedoesDIY]

Awesome! Glad you liked them. Good luck on yours!

[@jasonkaminski6230]

Nice video! Color of these is great. Curious what dye you used.

[@JessedoesDIY]

Thanks. It's charcoal liquid dye from Quikrete

[@vonjournet]

Bro can I use bcs plywood to frame a shed instead of osb

[@JessedoesDIY]

OSB is stronger for that type of work, as well as partially weather resistant

[@michaelbrooklyn3406]

wow!! can you make more concrete diy’s

[@JessedoesDIY]

Thanks. I plan on it, yup

[@hav1ngfunn0w]

Great video, thank you!

[@JessedoesDIY]

Glad you liked it!

[@rubenmaldonado3120]

This is a great idea. It would look nice on my patio. I'm going to make a couple.

[@rubenmaldonado3120]

also, being only 1.5 inches do you think it can be made without the wire mesh?

[@JessedoesDIY]

Thanks, glad you like them! You always can make them without reinforcement, but I really wanted to make sure that any seasonal, as well as moisture related movement from being outside in the sun and rain was minimized. It will help prevent curling of the slabs, as well as potential cracking. Good luck on yours! Keep me posted, I'd love to see them when you're done!

[@harishveeramani2907]

Very nice. Keep up the nice work, Jesse. Cheers!
