Beautiful and yes, so satisfying to see a creation done yourself! Here are some tips to consider regarding final quality, strenght and costs. 1. Consider a brief further cure even after initial dry stage. Mist the bowl with water and let dry again. This adds strenght. 2. Consider making your own sealant. Use waste styrofoam and dissolve in Acetone until you get a nice consistency that is not too runny. DO IT IN A GLASS BOTTLE OR JAR with a lid. Leave the jar sealed for a few days. The sealant becomes crystal clear. Paint this on your bowl. Adds a beautiful shine, waterproofs well, and adds extra strenght. Also much cheaper. 3. Try normal playdough as your mould sealant. Quick (no drying needed), cheap and can be re-used. Have fun, enjoy!
Well done to you both looks very nice, saw your house renovation on TV.
Love it. Character and not relying on some mass produced product. ❤️
Aww thank you! 😊
That was great 👍
Looks amazing really thought you'd have used rapid set waterproof cement I've just come along your video to find a recipe myself. Wondering if you van use a paint pigment to grt a deeper colour
Oh wow that looks amazing!
Thank you! 😊

Beautifuel sink👌
Thank you!! 😊
Parabens muito bonita
This is the most beautiful sink I've seen around here. How it holds?
Thank you! We've not used it yet as we haven't moved in but we will be soon
Very nice. I will use less tape on the drain to get a perfect hole and spend a bit more time on finishing.
What do you suggest to use for the outside of the mold? I couldn’t quite pick up what you were referencing that material as, and I’m having a hard time getting creative.
And you can round off the border too, it will be better !
❤💙👍
Did you use counter top concrete
Hi, no we used a normal sand cement mix, our builder advised us on the mix and it worked well
What size was the board and bowl you used?
Well done 👍 could I have the name of the Perspex
no rebar ?
Maybe it's on my end, but I could bearly hear your audio compared to other videos.
Not enough background noise with airplanes and wind so I could almost hear a few words you spoke...maybe if you whisper I'd hear a a little less of whatever you're saying. Nice sink, though. Would be nicer if I could hear the words you're saying.
concrete? cement/sand only.
Why not just use the bowl for the sink? Why bother with cement?
Cement needs water to cure.
Wrong😣the concrete prefab must add fiber
I thought he was drilling concrete, not wood.
