Thank you so much for actually showing us how to make the form! I watched a video by P Alan Smith that said it would show you how to make a plinth and he skipped every step except for pouring concrete! You took us through every step!

Hey Jon! Great to see the kids included in this project. It teaches them more than we realize!

For something like that, I use a palm sander or reciprocating saw on the side to vibrate the air bubbles out of the sides.

Your work is pure excellence my friend. Pleasure watching your videos. Thanks for sharing!

First part reminded me of when I had to hand cut and roll sod at a golf course I worked at. Never thought grass could be so heavy. Also, really enjoyed the format with no narration.

Enjoyed a full-watch, Jon. Thanks for the video.

Nicely done Sir, !

RetroWeld Thanks Douglas, Michael is a big help with outdoor projects and he doesn't mind being on camera . yeah that is a spread : )

Great job! How many bags did it take?

How long did you let this set before you took off the forms and rounded the corners with the board?

What is the grass you have growing there ? It’s so lush and beautiful ❤️❤️❤️

Nice video

Your work is always systematic, tidy, and extremely well planned and executed. A true pleasure to watch. Thank you for sharing!

After next winter (frost) I'm pretty sure it is not going to be level anymore.

สว่านเสียซ่อมที่ไหนครับ ยี่ห้อนี้ดีเปล่า

Thinking of making something like this for the inside of my wooden shed to put a ground anchor in for my bikes (as i have a wooden floor?) ..do you think this would be a solid despite not being below ground level.. Was going to make it about 2×1×1 ft in a wood frame and secure to the shed frame internally.. Mind you the weight of 2 cubic feet of concrete wont be going anywhere in a hurry.. 😂

How do you do that . You have so green grass without flowers and weeds . fantastic

Nicely done on the block and good to see the kids involved. That's a big lawn! Who keeps it so nice and plush? I'm guessing you have an auto spreader to pull behind a lawn tractor and the boy gets allowance to do it?

MRrwmac I go around the outside twice and do the weed whacker than Michael cuts the rest at $8 an hour, takes him about an hour.

Can this be done on existing slab

Was that a grounding rod ?

Jon, love the videos. Thought I'd share something with you that you might like to know. I work for a bagged concrete producer. If you use concrete 5000 or Sakrete Maximizer, you'll get a smoother finish on the sides and be less likely to see aggregate as well. These contain more cement powder and leave a smoother finish. Also some taps with a rubber mallet will help the concrete settle in the box. You share your expertise, so I thought i'd share mine. Thanks for the videos.

Well done, Jon. I see you probably had a father like mine who insisted on cleaning up all the tools before the concrete set on them.

Hi Jon, after you took down the form you knocked down the edges with? Was that a piece of lumber or a really big file?

You obviously have a talent but a bit of explanation of what/ how your making things would make it more interesting

That grass is healthy

CHRIS MARKERT Ha : ) that'a great Chris, the little one can be a bit of a game changer but also a lot fun.

Not much good what was the ratio of cement sand and whatever else you put long drawn-out that no ratio to what you should use no good to me

shouldof spent some time hitting the form with a mallet

Nice video but the chair looks really uncomfortable.

Not very helpful not telling you the ratio of cement
