That would be very cool. I actually have a video for waterfall concrete countertop with integrated LED lighting which is in production now (preview pics on Instagram, if you interested). As for integrated sinks, I made two countertops with integrated sinks for my bathrooms, but alas, it was before I started recording my builds. At some point I will go back and do some quick videos showing past builds.....

I have done some woodworks in the past but this woodwork plan kzread.infoUgkxZF0EMnrujZvqHhGkxiz559uIABJWR9TG helps me do much in a far lesser time than i used to do i have already built several projects with this plan and i intend to do many more soon. Thank you so much!

I think it is safe to say I have finally found my favorite DIY person. This table is beautiful. Your videos are so informative and clear. I'm never left confused after watching. So far I have only watched a couple, but love every one of them. And I can't wait to hear about the new products you were talking about. So happy I found your videos on here today.

This was it! This was the project that got me hooked on everything else you've done. I'd never seen white concrete before and never combined with wood. It is a stunning piece. I dream of having a kitchen count done like an expansion of this project. That would give me a cutting board to die for!

The tip for using the cake tool to smooth the caulking was worth the price of admission alone. What a cool idea. For those that didn't catch the name of the tool, it's a "fondant ball tool", and Amazon has them. Nice work!

Thanks! I just checked out your channel. The fire pit build is pretty cool.

I just finished the moulds for a concrete project this weekend. It’s late here but I had to trie the ball-method for the silicone. I ordered the ball tool earlier this weekend and got some cheap antique wax. I tried it on the outside and came back after dinner. I can confirm. It is far out the easiest and cleanest way to apply the silicone. A year ago on version 1 I used a coffee-spoon and painters-tape. But due to the raised lip after pulling the tape, the silicone got stuck in the cement. Also depending on the angle of holding the spoon I got different thickness/radius. This never really cleaned up well. Now it’s just super smooth and equal all the way. Even the corners are perfect. (I did use a tiny amount of dish soap on the rag I used tho clean my tool with, I think it helped me in the corners)

@modustrial

I definitely plan on it. I do have one concrete video that is done with just regular old concrete that has already been filmed and will be out soon. After that I'm planning a simple GFRC project where I'll have time to go into the mix in more detail. I also plan to do a written tutorial on my website (modustrialmaker.com), which will likely get done before the full video. Check there over the next month, and it should be up (or if you like, I've set up an RSS feed for the website).

Safety tip... you shouldn't use gloves while operating your table saw or miter saw... if you ever have an accident, you may loose a finger, but with gloves on... the blade will grab the glove and you will loose your hand.

Modustrial Maker hey, have you worked with adding minerals to change appearance of the concrete? I saw someone else's video where they added dust from turquoise, but was thinking about stuff that would make the appearance more like granite or quartz; something a little chunky (larger than dust) and sparkly, either mica chips or tiny diamond chips. If you have done something similar I'm wondering if it worked for you or not. I love this table, more industrial rural chic. Would look great in my Alaskan cabin. I have been planning on colored concrete slabs for counter tops, underlay for wood stove, and possibly even decks (wood decks are too common, but tile deck substructures are spendy and it would tie my interior space to my exterior space looking in or out through the French doors and have matching deck, kitchen counter, wood stove pedestal). Again, nice work, thanks for sharing.
