Personally, I wish more serial KZreadrs did follow ups on their projects. Everyone wants to build new and big, I’d like to see how their old projects hold up after a year or five, and what they’d do different if they were to build it again. I believe that’s a sign of a good builder, a project that lasts and someone who admits and learns from their mistakes.

I saw a video recently by Foureyes Furniture and he showed a closet with a bunch of their old projects in it😂 they looked like they were holding up well, I just thought it was funny to think about these elegant pieces of furniture worth at least $1000+ just collecting dust in a closet

Good point. I can understand why it's not done if the item has held up well and there's nothing to show. It's potentially boring content. But on the other hand it's valuable to know.
Please build a pizza oven. The haters would have field day commenting on the process.

We know you put thought into your builds. If you make a mistake you admit it and show us how you fix it. That in itself shows that your work is honest. Keep it going!
YES. I love real follow-up videos. Surprising that most people don't do these kinds of videos. This is free content for you and informative for everyone watching.
You might try one of the many concrete sealers to prevent weather degradation on the fire pit. Coating it once a year seals it from rain etc. It will darken the concrete in most cases. Great builds and thanks for the follow up on this one.
Awesome book that gives you step-by-step photos kzread.infoUgkxTNB_zFBSnTo_O1PqfVUwgi7ityw0JlKt and directions to make every day project. I can see myself making a few of these projects and giving them as housewarming and holiday gifts!
Your fire pit was my first adventure into the world of Bourbon Moth Woodworking. I watched it two days after it was released and I continue to watch each and every video you post. Keep up the amazing work!
It’s okay Jason there’s a lot of haters out there as long as your happy with it man. Love your channel hands down my favorite woodworker.
I appreciate you making this follow-up video to update us on how well it has stood up over the past year+, and your experience with it. Sharing the pros and cons, and what you might do different has a lot of value.
It's the stove brick that helped prevent spalling. Nice work. I have used paver block with a lot of success and seen straight concrete spall.
I am a machinist and started my first machine shop company in the early '90s. It is amazing how many potential customers that KNOW NOTHING about machining in any way tell me exactly how to do the work and how easy it will be. Here is a quote I like. Never worry about criticism from any person that you would not go to for advice. Truth. (Burn the forms out next time. The heat will help dry, and crack/explode, your new fire pit.)
Regardless of what other people think, the important part is that you are happy with the end result. I do think that a follow up video on some projects every now and then can be educational, so I am happy you did this video.
Cute, love it. If it gets cold where you live, you might consider sealing that tiny crack to prevent water accumulating and then freezing.
Finally, the follow up - I have been wondering how it went. Usual great work, thanks legend.
For what it’s worth some of us actually pay attention and never needed any of this follow up/ q&a. 😂🤣😂🤣
Glad to see you do a follow up, and love the responses to the comments! I love that people will sit there and complain and criticize work people do without ever doing the work themselves. Keep it up!
You could try sanding and repainting the metal ring. Some high temp grill paint might do the trick. I've used it to restore a weber grill in the past and the paint still looks great!
Dude, keep doing what you're doing. Great wood working and entertainment.
Love your videos. I’ve learned a lot. This is probably one of my favorites. Love that you called people out for their Incompetence of watching and listening to the video. If they did it here they must do it all the time
I LOVE YOU MAN!!!...I love your honesty and when you make mistakes is what I love more. Always love follow up videos
Thank you for burning the forms. Yes, I do in fact feel better now. The wood stamping came out great, btw!
You handle the Sallys well Sir! Thank you for the great content over the years.
Great follow up video Jason. The end was awesome when you put the big form in. Loved it.
I love that you got a video out of an old project, some quick updates and a whole bunch of politely telling trolls to f off. You sir win KZread today
Jason you are simply the best. Please continue as before. I have learned a lot from your videos over time and received new suggestions. You are entertaining, explain your individual work steps and we can learn a lot from you. So keep it up! Best regards from Hamburg, Germany.
From a civil engineers perspective it was good. The from it’s self was built very well, the concrete could’ve been lighter tougher so the ‘C’ could’ve been higher for example c65 would’ve been better than the c40 you used or what I believe is c40. You did all the steps for the concrete very well, the extra rocks was a great idea and is something that is often done. The fire bricks probably did help so it was good uou thought of most things. Again like you said extra air vents would’ve been better but other than that great job. I look forward to seeing the next video

I really liked the part of this video where you describe the horde of comments i.e. "why didn't you burn the form out", and you paused and took a sip of Bourbon. That affect was priceless!
I think you did everything right. Everyone should build what they think suits them and their needs. I once built a barbecue out of a concrete stormwater pipe. It worked well for several years. Best grill I ever had.
Dude that was hilarious!! Thank you for the follow up. I watched the first one a while ago and have been waiting for the follow up to see if it would be a fire-pit I would build in my back yard. And your plans appear to have worked well. Thanks!

Nothing more to add !! Bravo Jason !!
I’ve literally been waiting a year and a half to see a form burnt. Thank you so much!
hahahahaha! The burning the forms thing must have been really frustrating, but I am greatly entertained by your reaction and I appreciate you sharing it! I laughed sooooo hard!
that video is why I subbed lol; it's like some of the commenters just assumed you were going to use it as a furnace / smeltery; the funniest part is the use of the river rocks internally likely gave the concrete a natural heat sink / exchanger that would help prevent it from exploding.
Brilliant! The follow up is a good thing for those who would actually want to make one, not just watch you making one. The good thing is, now, I know that's a working way, just need to put a hole every 20º, great hint. Thank you!
OMG I love your editing, every cut to explosion made me chuckle.
Coolest fire pit build I've seen! Great Work!
Super awesome job! Thanks for the follow-up video. The one thing I did a little different was to use w-d40 to the melamine before pouring the concrete. It made it a little easier to take the inner form out. You are fun to watch & a fantastic teacher. Thanks!
I really enjoyed this follow up video and wouldn't mind others in the future. Like for the porch swing that was burned or the cedar folding table.
Thanks for the video, always enjoy watching!
That was fun. Lots of arm chair warriors for sure! Keep safe.
Oh no, Mr. hibbs, you just made those haters happy. All they want was attention, and YOU GAVE IT TO THEM. For us, or least for me, there was no need for an explanation. We (I) watch your videos for the knowledge that can be picked up and USE. For the info. Regardless of the comic relief, I watch to learn. Just keep up what you do.
I absolutely love this follow up video. I think you did a great fantastic job in the first video. Keep up the good work
The original video is how I found your channel and started following it.
They say: "Jealousy makes you nasty". Don't worry about the comments people make. I personally think that your DIY firepit is the best one I've ever seen. Even your backyard looks like heaven! I just loved the firepit videos.
Great follow up video. Top notch humor as always, well most of the time.
Soooo Perfect! Thanks for the laugh session! More, more more please!!!!
Thanks Jason..... You did great!!!
That was the first video I watched on your channel. And I've been loving the fireplace already back then!
Jason you obviously did your homework & the project worked out great. I would have never thought of the River Rock between the two walls, but in hind site, it was brilliant. Great job. As the results speak for themselves!
You did a fantastic job! Enjoyed both videos on your fire pit!
Wow people really complain a lot huh? Your channel is great, you do great work, don’t pay attention to the negativity.
Dude your sarcasm is as high as mine, that’s the reason why I watch your videos. Love it . Have a great day.

I really liked your video. There is useful information inside, I'm glad I watched this
HA HA! Love how you run and fall at the beginning of your videos! Keep it up!
Best update video yet 😂😂😂 I guess some ppl don’t pay close enough attention to what they see on here and that some ppl actually do think ahead the vast majority of the time. “I’ll burn some flippin forms…ya happy now??” Love it!
Excellent follow-up video!!! For every 20 people who want to know how to build something, there is always 2000 people that know how to build it better. Of course they never post a how to video. I'm glad you posted this for all the viewers to watch. And also I'm glad it never exploded in your face. Wouldn't care to see a burned up Bourbon Moth. LOL keep up the good work. Thanks.
Your videos always make me laugh, this one did for sure. Keep up the great work!
Very nicely done, thanks for sharing! It's a bit too small for me... but then I'm a bit of a pyro. ;) I'm planning to pour some curved stairs and garden walls this summer, so this was helpful. Cheers.
It looks amazing and you did a great job winging it!!!
I’m liking for the squarespace ad. 😂
I found your videos about six months ago I watch them daily keep up the great videos, and as for those comments just remember people that do not do anything do not make mistakes and there is plenty of them out there.
Thank you for your video. I really enjoyed the follow up.
Hi Jason, when I 1st saw this video, I was about to say, "Is this a re-upload". Now I can see it was and just another humorous video follow up, 👍🏻. And I love Danny
OMG! when you put that form on the fire.... I'm dying 😆
THAT'S the level of snark I'm looking for! 👍👍 You earned yourself a new subscriber!🤣
Love it sir ill be looking for more of your videos.
Hey Msn, I thought you did a very good job putting the Fire Pit together. Everything looks great & it did not fall apart nor exploded. I knew that if you wait for the concrete to cure completely, it would be just fine. I’m sending you some positive vibes. Great job.
No no, the inner form. The INNER form!!! SMH!!! Hahaha great video!! Love your channel!!!
dayton wheel rims from old trucks or tractor rims are about the cheapest/most effective inner rings for fire pits; old truck brake drums for smaller pits/stoves
Well done. Nice to see the follow up 👍👍👍
Fantastic fire pit. But better than that... amusement value of the voice-over! loving the knee slides! all the best my friend.
I stumbled across this channel poured myself a drink and lmao very cool and helpful with my insanity glad I’m not the only nut case in this universe and I’d do it again. Good work
Best video I have seen ever. Love how you did everything right on the fire pit build it is almost like you figured it out then built it 😂😂😂😂
I liked your original video -- I think you are a quality fabricator. Sorry for all of the haters
It does look cool and I thought I might want to do something like this, but truth be told, my old (and I do mean old) 25 yr old washing machine wash tub is the bomb. Ceramic coated so it’s stood up the all the fires and I can grab it and take it along on camping trips. It does radiate heat to the point that my shins are probably well done by now. Maybe one day when I own an estate I’ll do something like this….
That was so funny when you put the big form in there!!! LOL!
I don’t even have a firepit. Sometimes my feet get cold. I’m fine. Cool project, don’t let the comments get you down. Those are people that don’t actually do things.
Loved this video. Healthy level of snark. 10/10 Fire pit is a fire pit. It's going to get used. It's going to get ashy and burnt, and it is going to heat up and cause the issues that heat does. Looked like a fun build. Great result. Keep it up!
To shut up some people please do another video of this fire pit in another two to three years. I really would like to see this. Love your channel.
*Excellent work!*
love the follow up. very nice format. analysis of mistakes and comments, love it. lot's of folks show how to do pretty things, and they are pretty right out of the door but how do they hold over the time and what would you do differently if you are to build it again? awesome !
Laughed so hard! Thanks man!
Great video - keep it up Jason
Seeing you burn the frame in spite of the comments: Priceless :))
I would be jacked to have that in my yard! Looks awesome!
Haters, everybody has them just continue to delight us with your humor and keep on building we love it. P.S. does this qualify me for a free coffee mug ( HUH ) i`ll be waiting.
"If you wanna see me burn some flippin' forms, I'll burn some flippin' forms..." - burns the outside forms. 😂😂🤣
You're Amazing! Love your videos! Keep it up!
Jason, you are the best, man. Great video! lol
I liked the first, I loved the follow up!!!
This was awesome. I could feel his disdain for the trolls through my phone screen.
Looking forward to next year's FIREPIT update!!
Gotta love armchair experts. And I'll admit I fall into it sometimes myself. Mostly when I see people soldering. I went to school for it, and did it for years in the military. The way some of these people are "teaching" people how to solder is worse than "fingernails on a blackboard" for me. BUT, I at least have a clue what I'm talking about in cases like that. Any other instance, before I post a question or make a comment, I actually watch the vid a couple times to ensure I am not missing something. Then, when I DO post the comment, I am at least am posting a question that is valid. If it seems snarky, that's just me trying to not take life too seriously.
What an excellent way to shout out mouth Sir, Well done!!!!!!!!!!
