Get a tub of paste wax and rub a light coat of it on your buckets before pouring the concrete, makes them separate much easier. Also, to go to the next level, you can mix your own concrete blends, just buy Portland cement and sand, mix 1:3, add water that’s 1:5 latex primer paint and water. Will cast much better - less air holes and smoother finish without any aggregate.

You just need to oil your containers before pouring concrete. It prevents the concrete from sticking to the container and makes it easier to detach later. It’s just a construction technique. As an architect we actually do this to all shuttering for concrete before pouring in the mix. You could use any oil for the matter. Would have saved you a lot of time, buckets and a video 🤗

Oiling doesn't work all the time and demolding the mold from a comparatively thin concrete wall is bit risky. Oiling the mold for thicker concrete elements in the construction field is a different thing.

Top tip: multicutter is the easiest way ive found to cut plastic. No cracking of the plastic and no nearly cutting your fingers off.

I gotta say, this video surpassed my expectations. Interesting process on making the molds reusable!

10 minutes in and I'm convinced you're a genius!! Those spacing blocks!! OMG!!

Very detailed explanation 👍

Great video! I have an idea for part two! Do a search for dry pour concrete on youtube. All the trouble you are having with this project all involve wet concrete. If you dry pour, you won’t have any trouble at all. Ha! Then you can do a comparison of wet pour vs dry pour planters to deal with all the haters.

Seeing how much detail you put into this is inspiring! You clearly make these videos so detailed because you’re very passionate about what you do. And that’s awesome. Keep up the good work!

I love this video. Details without it being overbearing or under informed. Thanks dude.

Looks awesome! A cork, piece of round wood/Bamboo or drain pipe in the bottom will make your drain hole. That way you don’t have to drill it after.

This is the only tutorial I’ve found that doesn’t involve destroying the inside of the mold. Plus, using a jigsaw as the vibrator is brilliant! Thanks for taking the time to make this video!

Not using it to cut the buckets tho lol 😅

I really appreciate your videos! Only watched two so far this one and the workbench build but they both were pretty top notch.

This is exactly the video I have been searching for. Thank you.

Those look awesome. I’ll have to try that

Great instructions & insight!! So grateful! Thank you!!

Sir you are heaven sent this is the best video on concrete planters on youtube

Thanks Moser. I ordered my supplies from Lowes while watching this video and printed out your template. Hoping to make a few later this upcoming week.

Thanks! Very useful for a variety of applications.

They're beautiful!

Great tutorial. Thank you 👌

Thank you so much for creating such a detailed tutorial! These planters look super sleek. I think I'll definitely be making these for my plants. I also really appreciate the eco friendly and reusable sentiment behind the entire project. Your enthusiasm is infectious!

Amazing. Great video with lots of details to help you along.

Beautiful! Thank you. Please keep sharing 👏🙏

You are definitely a genius! I have been wanting to make big cement planters but didn't know how. Now you know what will keep me busy come Spring. Thanks a bucketful!!!

Dude. You killed it. This is the best concrete demonstration. You've added alot of value here. Thank you😇😊

Good idea with the wood pieces! Never saw that before! 👍

Often times when building forms for concrete you can add oil and that will make it easier to remove the forms and finish the concrete surface before it’s completely cured. If you change the oil on your car you can save it and use it for forms.

This is EXACTLY what I've been looking for.! Finally found a video that is easy to follow with awesome results. Thank YOUUUUU.

Bro you don't need to cut the bucket. Just apply old engine oil on the inner surface of the bucket before pouring concrete mix. And after the concrete is set just invert the bucket and add boiling water on it. The heat will expand the bucket and the pot will fall off. But your method looks really cool 🔥

Hi! Thanks for this tip, I’ve for sure seen quite a few people do this rather than cutting and taping the buckets. Just wondering what you mean when you say to “invert” the bucket? Do you mean that after you get the inner bucket out you flip the “outer” bucket upside down and pour hot water over the outside/bottom of the bucket and it will release? Hopefully you see my comment as yours was posted 6 months ago l😬 Thanks so much!!!!🤗

@@charliblake8551 Hi, yes you are right. Just turning it upside down and pouring hot boiling water on outer surface of bucket. Also few gentle strikes with a rubber mallet will help. But removing the inside bucket could be troublesome sometimes. Thats why I follow dry concrete mixture method to make pots. You can refer "how to make cement pots" from "urban gardening" yt channel. Hope it helps 👍

That's great! Glad i found your video.tnx😊

Great Video! Everything was so well explained and easy to follow. Gotta check out some of your other videos, my friend! This was so well done! Thanks for your time and effort!

After looking at dozens of videos like this I can say that the process is the best.

Well done! You are an excellent teacher

You’re simply amazing and keep up the good work god bless you! Your video not only help me but it will help million others for sure 😊🙏🏾👏🏽

Thanks for the awesome vid, dude! I’m making some planters today!

I’d definitely by the spacers if you ever decide to sell them. Great video. 😀

Wow 🤩 seriously amazing video! Thorough and excellent use of your camera and editing!!! Loved the video as much as I (will) love my planters!

Well done.

Very nice video. Very detailed and informative. thank you!!

great video, thanks

Great video! The alignment blocks are great for the top. Perhaps you could use a 1/4" pipe nipple/tubing piece through the bottoms of the buckets to align the bottoms and build in your drainage? Also a larger bottom could be made to sit the planter on with 3-4" all the way around for polished rocks, marbles or rock chips. That way you can bottom water your plants. Thanks again!

THANKS FOR THE VIDEO. LOVE FROM KERALA

Wow this technique is much smarter than what I tried to do 😅 Wish I would've watched this video first!

Thanks for the video, very informative - I’ll definitely give this a try! Also, just wanna say that you’re a natural educator. You look pretty young, so I’m assuming it’s not years of practice - but seriously, you’re really good at getting your point across without me ever losing interest - and even more impressive is that when I thought myself a question about something, you were answering the question I had in the next segue Really impressive my man. Just sub’d, look forward to checking out your other videos, and I definitely wish you and your career choices all the best. Xiao

your method is excellent. Thanks. I used a different method to easily take out the molds. Be it cut like yours or using original pails, I wrap the inner mold or smaller pail with newspaper, and on top of it, a layer of shrink-wrap to keep the newspaper dry. With that, the pail can be easily removed as it doesn't in direct contact with the cement.

Use plastic or scrap around the smaller bucket. Stick a dowel in the center of the smaller bucket for a draige hole.

Your planters turned out great! They look awesome!😎 👏🏼 👏🏼 👏🏼 I’ve made about a dozen and I use inexpensive dollar store coconut oil or vegetable oil as a mode release. It makes life so much easier!!🙂👍🏼

Very Celver. Weldone!

Using cooking oil spray allows for an easy separation thanks for the video

Amazing

Good idea with the precuts in the buckets! Remember to wear gloves when working with any cementious material such a concrete because it is acidic and can cause skin problems. Also, pre-made concrete mix is great but you can also make your own with a cement bag and aggregates of your choosing for more customisations and strenght! Cheers!

Excellent brother ::)

Thanks for the video. This inspired my new method, which is working well for me: -slit the outer bucket down to 1" above the bottom, and drill a small (1/8") hole at the bottom of the slit to help prevent it spreading further. No slit needed in the inner bucket. -install schrader air valve nipples in the bottoms of both buckets. Place a small piece of tape over the concrete-facing side of both air nipples to prevent the concrete from fouling the valve. -After the concrete is cured, hook a bike pump up to the inner bucket's air nipple and pump. The inner bucket immediately separates from the concrete and can be lifted clear. - urn the outer bucket on its side, remove the tape from the side slit, and attach the bike pump. The combination of pumping air in the bottom and flexing the bucket sides quickly separates the outer bucket

Genious!!!!!🤩💥👏👏👏

Very good improvement to this design. love the alignment blocks. Did you add a drainage hole to the planter?

A great idea to create cement pots from recycled materials!!!!!

Nice video boss

If you're worried about cutting yourself, there are gloves available that fit closely but have some steel filament woven through it. They help to prevent cuts. I use them when cutting up glass. I don't know how well they work as I've never cut myself but they're worth a try.
