He made a pet specific one about 4 months ago for his neighbor.

And yet again you put so much ideas in my head....think I'm gonna head to the garage this weekend to build build build Michael builds 💪

man this is a great idea once again you have taken over the top.

Ok Micheal, your head is twisted! I love it. I might try this out.

Very nice man 👍

definitely on next years builds for Halloween. Once again thanks for the great content. Please keep it up, and i appreciate all your hard work.

Thanks Pal. Now I can pour my own tombstone and save it for later. 😂

Super!

Brilliant!! You’re a creative engine.

Those are amazing... Love them!

These are bad ass! 😎

That was awesome

Great project. I made some tombstones out of Styrofoam many years ago and painted them to look aged. I also just used a magic marker to write the names and epitaphs. The relieved look you achieved is a step up and, of course, being made out of mortar, they will last a long time. My son is an adult now so we don't really decorate for Halloween any longer. We would put them in the front yard 2-3 weeks before Halloween and let the grass grow up around them. We live in South Florida so in two or three weeks, the grass can grow several inches so it really covered the base by the time Halloween arrived. Between that and the aged paint job, they actually looked like they'd been there a long time. I was thinking, while watching the video that you could sprinkle in some colored grout like you used on the curved countertop video to give the surface a mottled look to add a bit of "age" to the tombstones.

So cool!

Bro that was a badass video

Wow great job, lots of work which I appreciate. I love the videography as well.

Having a UV or glow-in-the-dark powder or paint on them would be cool. What would happen if you mixed the powder in?

Watched you since the beginning, keep up the great work 👍

OH MY GOD THANK YOU SO MUCH NICK!!! You're the first person to ever send me a tip and I can't believe you sent me 10 BUCKS! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!! I am so sorry that I didn't say anything until just now. I didn't get any sort of notification from KZread. My wife just happen to see it on her feed and she let me know this morning so I messaged you right away. I'm going to put this money toward drywalling the back drop of my shed so I can get my cool old back drop back haha. Thank you so much for being one of my Subscribers!

I know you're the RapidSet guy and these are pretty cool but, the weight and storage might be a drawback. Can you do the same molds in a liquid foam type product?

You probably would not get then level of detail from concrete foam. Though you could make a foam concrete block and. Then cover with thinner concrete layer

How many wacky tombstone Slogans can you come up with fellow travelers? I always liked " Here Lies Lester Moore.... No les...no More.

I'm sure Ben Better has been. Fun stuff.

303k subs.. i remember your first video.. told you then you had a good channel.. next stop 500k..then 1 mill.

Ima Goner! 😂😂😂 Great video as usual. Hope your dog doesn't bury bones under the headstones. 😂😂 You might have some splaining to do Ricki!

Another great video but the rest where you describe everything you’re doing are better 😊. Hoping the ‘silent’ ones are few and far between! Great job!

This is really cool but I make mine out of foam and they look just as good if not better. And a whole lot lighter :)

Have you tried adding vermiculite to the mix to make the tombstone stones lighter. This is what I’v used in the past as not to get a hernia moving them around. I also added some rabbit wire for strength. But I was using the other brand. I’m going to try the rapid set next time. Although, I think it would be cool to sculpt each tombstone like you did in your demo brick/stucco video. That way there’s more variations if making more touchstone.

My wife hates when I watch your videos. She knows it means I'm getting ideas.

What sealer would you guys use on a concrete fire table?

Can you make pumpkin concrete shaped? Thanks 👍 cool video.

Could you also have inserted pvc pipe into the bottom inside the mold so that you could store them easier and just insert the rebar into the ground to slide them onto?

Hmmmm 🤔 that’s a good question. I’m just not sure about that one. I would just be worried about the strength but it’s a very good thought

I’m sorry. If I spend that amount of time and money to fabricate these and installing them on the front lawn, there they will stay all year long. Who wants to move heavy concrete headstones? Love the content. Keep it up. And thank yahhwhoooooooooooo!

I saw the preview of this video in my email but haven't had the chance to watch it until now. You know I LOVE your videos from day one! You have such artistry to your work! How do you come up with these amazing ideas!? 🥰

What is the wood looking stuff you are bending around the top of the first tombstone mould you made in the video? The stuff that broke and you said you were just going to go with it? It looks like wood, but I don't know of any wood that "bends". In a lot of tombstone tutorials the people use insulation foam board, which I am sure is great for easy projects, but where we live, the wind would have them taking off to oz in no time. Can I ask how much those tombstones weighed?

Hey Micheal Builds ! I am actually starting to help out in a local cemetery. This process may work for me in making grave markers. Would you be willing to tell me the thickness of the foam that you used ?

You might check his other video on making the pet tombstone markers. He goes into the foam a bit more. kzread.info/dash/bejne/dG1lq7WFp5zJp6Q.html

Michael, I've looked back on your old videos, to identify how you put designs and lettering on concrete surfaces. I found one video where you state that you're using "natural grout", but you don't list it in the description. I've googled "natural grout" only to get many ideas on grout cleaning. Would you please give me an example of a "natural grout"?

I thought you would have a Cricut or something to cut the letters for you.

Love your stuff . You videos are really fun and informative. I'm not sure why this is a trend . So many yters are going this route . From what I understand YT adds pay pretty well .(i could be wrong here ) I get getting payed but I'm not a fan of the " patrion" thingy . If you take into account all the channels. Netflix. Apple TV. Cable . Disney Channel , etc . Then have to come on YT and pay for the many other channels on YT because Everyone's want money . Just doesn't make sence. It'll cost 300 to 500$ a month just on screen time . And that's in US fund for most all YT channel. Add 35% for a Canadian subscription. I get that 5$ a month isn't a big deal but it does add up . I am subbed to probably 100+ different channels including BBQing/smoking , cooking , car stuff and the stock market and many more . Everyone's wanting a piece of the pie . I will keep watching you cause I really enjoy your channel. All be it few and far in-between . You do go month between videos sometimes . I'll just be late to the party (lol) and have 0 capacity for fun input . Keep them coming for us none members please . Best of luck Mike. No disrespect but money is very tight and as a family man . Choices have to be made . Just being honest here.

KZread pays a small fraction of a penny per 1 video view. Ask any creator and they’ll tell you that their smallest influencer income comes from KZread Adsense. The rest of it comes from Collaborations, Amazon Associate links, product plugs, Sponsorships and what ever else we can do to supplement and diversify our income. Since KZread is my full time job now and my family is dependent on me keeping a roof over their heads and food on the table it is that much more important to pay myself for my hard work. Speaking of hard work… I design and build my own projects. I do my own filming. I do my own editing and I do my own promoting. I work 7 days a week / 12 hours a day making the best possible content that my uneducated self knows how so that my viewers can enjoy 100% free content. Thousands of people view my video every day WITH OUT having to pay a dime or even a small fraction of a penny for all my hard work which I am absolutely fine with. With all that being said, with all that hard work and hustle, we still sometimes struggle to get by. Since joining anyones Patreon (or any membership or streaming platform for that matter) is 100% choice, I don’t see the problem with giving others the OPTION to help a little if they so choose. No one is forced or obligated to join or give anything. I am ETERNALLY GRATEFUL to my Subscribers, my viewers, my Patrons and my Sponsors. Every single one of you show your support simply by clicking on my videos. And for that I do my very best to show my gratitude by putting my heart into every single one of my videos. As for the long gaps in between my videos once in a while… since I do everything myself from start to finish and I still have family obligations to tend to, it’s impossible to maintain a weekly video schedule and I’m so sorry about that. But I can’t afford to hire employees. When my channel gets bigger, these things will change but until then I will run my channel in this manner because it is best for me, my family and my subscribers. Please feel free to continue watching my content 100% free of charge or obligation and I will continue to work my butt off to make the best content that I know how. Have a great day
