- How to Mix Concrete by Hand. Part of the series: How to Mix Concrete. Mix concrete by hand by pouring concrete into a wheel barrow and slowing adding water, mixing with a garden hoe until the right consistency is reached. Wear gloves and a mask to prevent damaging the skin, lungs or eyes, with advice from a landscape design artist in this free video on concrete. Read more: www.ehow.com/vi...
This guy was by far the most easiest to understand, doesn't speak too fast and easy to understand the terminology. Great video
Do you have problems comprehending people that speak fast?
And bruh ain’t give a whole back story either.
This video was perfect and beyond helpful! My concrete ended up with the right consistency. I just knew! Not too soupy, but not overly crunchy! Thanks!
Overly crunchy is bad...soupy is bad. This guy has the perfect recipe..Thank you. I used it to put up a flag pole .
One of my coworkers recommended this video, I am thankful for it!
enjoy yer coco pops! ;-)
I was getting ready to put my hand in there to mix it. Dummy me...lol. great Job my friend.
That wouldve taken a while lol
🤣🤣
You make mixing an 80 lb bag of cement look easy. Thank you for sharing this video.
I'm glad I watched this video, he got to the point on how to mix concrete not diddle daddling around how to mix concrete up, in my point of view I give it a 10, Thanks...👍
Great video, thanks for the lesson! Good tips, straight to the point, everything you need to succeed.
After two disasters I needed this! Thanks.
Thank you, this helped me a lot. When i was a very small boy I used to work “hose duty” for my grandpa; he was an ace at making sidewalks at home. He used this same method with the wheelbarrow, hose and hoe, but I guess the ingredients are easier today. Back then he used I think 2 parts sand / 1 part Sakrete and it was a bit more difficult to get the mixture just right. But he nailed it every time. Now it’s my turn and decades later I needed a refresher course - so THANK YOU ! Great video. Now I have to go make my back door ledge.
I have a lot of concrete projects to do so this is very helpful
Ok, we know its not the perfect way to mix, oh and a slump test was not carried out ! BUT I have a bad back partly due to mixing barrowloads of concrete etc. Using a garden hoe ( I believe in other countries you can get the proper tool) keeps my body upright and pressure of my lower back and leading leg hip joint. this stops me from being laid up for a week after mixing a barrowload. Well done mate.
This was very helpful, thank you
Thanks for the tips. It helped me out with a project I did today. Really appreciate it.
3:11 "Pretty much it's like cocaine" I'm kidding 🤣
After living in Italy I've gotten the language down packed, he said, "It's like cooking..." But your comment made me laugh and go back to 3:11 to make sure. :)
@@teriorlando709 yeah call me uncultured but I'm pretty sure he's speaking in English
@@jdvg3770 He is, just with an Italian accent, "Pretty much it's like cooking..." I'm still laughing at your comment though. Bravo. LOL
@@jdvg3770 he definitely said cooking fella

Thank you. You got straight to the point and didn’t go round and round the mulberry bush. You explained it well with extra tips. I appreciate this video.
thank you for your effort to educate in this video
I learned this technique from my Mexican helpers, who I figure are the real pros.. The only thing different was they'd slice the bags across the middle, flip it over and pick up the ends, very easy and less to lift. Later, I took a hoe with a busted off handle and rounded off the corners. Easier to pull/push and cleans out the dry corners better.
Just people who practice a craft over and over again they start to figure out ways to do things better
This video was perfect, thanks for sharing
Excellent video. You are a good teacher.
Thanks for the video. For the novice concrete DIY person, Quickcrete recommends 3 quarts of water per 80 pound bag on their instructional video. According to them, too much water will weaken the cured concrete.
Ken Evans they say to start there and go up to 4.5qt if needed. I found 3 quarts to be completely unworkable. It was like damp gravel.
شكرا يا باشا
nice and clear
Also like Twirl bars too👍
JazakAllah hu khair amazing
Great video....my mailbox is still standing strong!
Extremely helpful, thank you
How to mix concrete using a bag a for Pre mixed concrete. 👍
Thank you, Amigo! Just what I needed!
Concrete nice and crunchy.... I didn't know people eat concrete 😂😂😂
great tutorial.........
Im just here to mess with my TH-cam algorythm
Thanks - very helpful!
Great video..Thank You!!!
Good video-u did add the water right and then right amount
I love crunchie bars.
In theory you want to distribute the specified amount of water the manufacture recommends to the volume of concrete in the bag and the best way to do this is to spread the concrete out amongst the largest flat surface area that you can or distribute it evenly in multiple concrete troughs or mud pans and then distributing the water evenly amongst the large surface area and then less mixing will be needed, then you can place the concrete to where it needs to be directly from the mixing troughs.
If you put the concrete in a container with a small top surface area then the concrete on top will absorb more water then the rest of the concrete.
Good information.Thankyou
So far this seems to be the most efficient way? Looking for better ideas
WOW, that is 3 times as much water as they put in the directions, that it's why it appears so simple, its not that simple. Anyway, GL 80 lb bag calls for less than a gallon of water. Did that look like less than a gallon?
YES, YES, YES!!!!!
is it edible?
Great video.

I like to use a little egg white in my mix Makes the concrete nice and fluffy. Let's hear it if you use egg whites in yours.
Did you add this same reply to all the concrete mixing videos? Very funny... ???
@@tubeyou126226 all that I can find yes
IMPORTANT INFORMATION how many egg whites does it take!

Thank you
Good for installing a mail box post
excellent teaching !!
thanks for the video!
Awesome video thx
Thanks I appreciate it very informative 😎😎
Would this ready mix work on an driveway, or is this just for smaller projects that have lighter weight requirements?
Unfortunately it’s 3 years In the future now but I’d suggest adding rebar for extra support with the concrete slab
Good video thanks.
Can you use a shovel and a bucket
You can make the concrete super runny as well
Is there a risk setting will be affected if it's too wet and sloppy to start with?
If it’s too wet, the concrete will be weaker and it might crack.
Pull it all one way in small amounts then walk around and pull it to the other side in small amounts. Repeat....you're welcome!!!
This is mixed in factory just add water
im just watching this video to fuck up the YT algorythm
حبيب العربي ;)
hair is conctete...rapid set greek?
This is not how you mix concrete by hand. Adding to much water weakens the cement. Use the recommended amount of water. Usually 3 quarts per 80 lbs bag. "Pretty much like cooking". Follow the recipe and you'll get good results.
Ariel Luna I’ve never had the recommended amount of water work for me. I always have dry mix that I can’t even work with. If a 60 pound bag suggests 2 quarts to a maximum of 3-1/2 quarts, I will start with 2 quarts. Then I will use the misting or cone spray function of my garden hose nozzle to spray water over the entire tube for a few seconds. Then mix for a few minutes and if necessary mist a little bit more water.
agreed, dude is wrong
Too much water content, as a result this carefully formulated mix has now lost 50% of its structural strength!!!!
Yes, his concrete is too wet.
I'm here for the sound

Haha
Amen quikrete bags kick ass too
What kind of gloves do anyone recommend?
any kind will protect your hands
If anyone has made chocolate rice crispy cakes..... pretty much that consistency. (UK ppl would understand what I mean lol)

How to Mix Concrete? Just add water 🤣
I thought water strengthen concrete?? They say that if you pour concrete underwater it becomes stronger than the air dryed concrete
Concrete with TOO LITTLE water will not be fully reacted. Concrete with LESS water will make a a stronger concrete but less workable because it's much harder to shape it and get it into forms. Concrete with MORE water, is easier to work with at a cost for some strength. Concrete with TOO MUCH water will cause more pores in the concrete, and wont bind the aggregate to the cement paste properly, making it really weak
shouldn't you add sand or aggregate?
It's pre mixed :)
The fastest and easiest way to mix concrete by hand is using a steelemixer.com It will mix a bag of concrete without power in less than 40 sec and its supper easy to use!
you should check out steelemixer.com its the fastest and easiest way to mix concrete!
Too much water.
“ pretty much it’s like cooking “ 😂 totally thought he said cocaine
Am i the only one who wants to just eat it 😬😬😬
@Nayelly,
Yes.

How the fuck does this get over 260,000 views.
Crunchy lol
I eat a bag of concrete everyday for breakfast and this guy doesn't want to touch it with his bare hands? What a wimp!
Hhhh gloves
The fuck is this? This is not a good way to mix concrete.
مصمصصص
Premix? Wasted my time watching this.
How not to mix concrete is a better title. Better add a lot more water to that bro.
Brent Hill, dumbass
Brent hill concrete is meant to be thick "you don't pour it you place it" even a little too much water will ruin concrete
Less water.
I think you mean don't add anymore... Bro... ( never take advice from anyone who uses the word "bro"
you obviously don't know how to mix concrete.
in the stupid 3rd world countries they work just like that no mixer machine imagine more than this 8 times
Your grammar is on par with a 3rd world country. If you think 8 bags is a lot then you must be very out of shape...
cameraman is d worst...why u focus camera on d man again n again
free video.
Oh screw off pal. Make a better video if you’re so picky.
Thank you
