DIY Concrete Coffee Table w/ Live-Edge Inlay || How to Make (w/ GFRC mix)
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
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) -- KZread 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.

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.

@modustrial

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.

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.

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.
@modustrial
5 жыл бұрын
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).
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.

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?

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!!
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?
