I started a home business making concrete tables after being inspired by your videos. I got my first commission to make 50 tables for a large network of chiropractic clinics. Thanks for the inspiration!!!!
Hey Ryan, that is awesome!! Congratulations :)
TOOLS MADE THIS AN EXCELLENT JOB!!!!
YOUR THE MAN!!!
Thanks!
My 45th time watching this insane man. This is still one of my top ten favorite.
Awesome, thanks for watching!!
Pete, your videos are both educational and inspiring. Thanks very much.
Thank you Dan!
I am incredibly impressed with this channel.
Thanks so much Ben!
Dude, you are amazing! Very exhaustive information, but not overwhelming with detail.
Thanks!
Brilliant Build Pete, love the way those LEDs shine through for night time. Must be brillo living next door to you with all your builds. Well Done, Cheers, Barry (from England)
Hey Barry! Thanks man, I appreciate it. Hope you are cranking out projects over in England and enjoying doing them. Cheers!
All your good scotch looks like mine.. Empty!.. Lol awesome project I'll have to steal some ideas. Thanks!
Ha! Yup :) Cheers and thanks for watching, have fun with the upcoming projects!
I totally LOVED this tutorial. This would fit perfect on my patio.
Go for it!
This dude is gifted 👍🙌
Thanks for watching
A couple things I would possibly change. Instead of using Velcro to attach the lights to the center bin, I'd use something like 1" x 1" boards to crate a U shaped bracket under the center of the bin. This would add more support under the bin, plus you don't have reach under it to undo the Velcro. I'd also probably use between 1/8 to 1/4" epoxy resin to line the bottom of the center bin (if it'd adhere to the bin itself) with a small drain either in the center or off to one side of the bin connected to a rubber hose (maybe with a shut off valve) so that way you can drain the center bin and not have to remove it at all. I'd also look at possibly adding LED's to either the perimeter of the edges or an insert of some sort in the center front part of the bar (or both)
Great ideas, thanks!
I wish i could make something like this for my bbq area its frustrating ive got so many ideas in mind like a deck and getting my shade sail up which I've already got ive got so many projects in mind grrr its frustrating good job it looks awesome
I get it! One project at a time :) Best of luck!

Looks awesome! I would love to see one like this with a small charcoal grill imbedded in it.
Very cool, I am looking into doing one with a green egg grill in it. Will hopefully knock that out this summer!
great job you have really taken the fear of making a concrete any thing thanks look forward to making my own and sharing it.
Thanks Gil, I am looking forward to hearing about what you decide to make out of concrete! Have fun!

This is so cool!!

Super cool easy diy!! Thks for sharing😃👍🏻
Thanks for watching!
Awesome video Pete. I may have to try building this.
Awesome, have fun!
Do a fiber optic concrete table, randomly space the fibers and make a small motor that would block the light strands in constant rotation so the lights shimmer on the top
Hi! Love the idea! I did an end table back in the day with fiber optics to make a Montana State Bobcat logo in a concrete end table. I'll have to try it again! Thanks!
G'day mate from Australia, really enjoying your channel & you keep up the top notch work mate 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

I would love that in my bbq area but I'm hopeless at building things I would put a bit bigger cooler in it. It would look good next to my spa when I get one.

Luv’n the Inverted Cast method..Go Yankees!
Thanks for watching! Haha GO Twins! ( Although you been us 3-1 in the last series , cheers!
looks great! Can you please do a video on a similar structure but for an outdoor kitchen. i.e. bar top with bbq, sink and fridge inserts? im looking to do one next summer and i love your work.
Hey Travis! Thanks so much for watching and for saying hi! I am planning to do an outdoor kitchen project this summer. Cheers!
DIY PETE fantastic! i am doing the patio this summer (already have water/gas/elec piped to location) and outdoor kitchen to follow! thank you.
Love the Macallan touch! Wouldn't mind a Talisker though... Great job Pete, subbed and looking forward to the next project!
Thanks so much for subscribing! Yep, I love the peaty flavor of the Talisker too :) When I was over in Scotland a couple years ago we stopped at both distillieries and it really helped me learn to appreciate a good scotch. Cheers!
brilliant I'd maybe string the cooler LED's between to small strappings to freely remove the cooler to refill when your half drunk.... lol
love the idea mate
Love it! Great idea. Cheers!
Great video, nice job
Thanks Walter!
Awesomeness
Thanks!
so cool
looks great!
Thank You!
Nice Job!
Thanks Carmine!
Nice and cool
More concrete project please
Nicely done. I think I may have used silicone to put the Lucite coasters in. That way I could replace them when needed. Nevertheless, I believe you earned a sub. Keep being awesome.
Hey James! Thanks so much for subscribing man. I appreciate you! Keep up the projects as well and have a good week!
great video mate..
Thank you Raghav!
Nice job well done.should all ways strength the sides an corners bring the mesh right up u only need few mil for cover for concrete to strength the corners more add bit more steal to each corner prevent from corners from chipping.loving all your d.i.y vids

OK . That's cool, thanks!
Thanks Jon!
Great videos keep it up!!!!!
Thank you!
Big fan of your projects... Is there a reason you don't edge glue the cedar pickets for the sides ?... Just wondering if this can be done without the small spacing between pickets...
That's really cool
Thanks!
Love to watch you. Cool stuff. Best I've seen and I look at a lot of DIY Videos :-)
Good morning and I hope you are having a great start to your Thursday! Thanks for checking out the projects. You can get the plans for free by entering a 0 in the box. There is the option to donate, but the majority of folks get them for free using that method which is mentioned in the instructions on that page. Enjoy the build and have a great weekend!
thats awesome!!!
Thanks Samia!
Awesome !!
Thanks LaVerne!
Great video!! Thanks a lot. I am attempting my second concrete project tomorrow. You have probably been the biggest inspiration for that. I vigorously approve of your choice of whiskey as well. ... Oh, while I thinking that I actually have a question as well- in a previous video you put things like glass and send into a concrete top. You wet sanded it down to get an amazing look. I was wondering, if I don't have access to a wet sander, what other options do I have? Thanks!
Hey Mark! Haha, yeah love the Oban and Macallan. As for random glass etc, to get a perfectly flush finish you will need some sort of a diamond pad. The wet polisher shoots water out to keep the pad cool and has the gfci for safety. I have seen folks adapt a dry polisher so it will hold the 5 inch pads and then have a hose near by. Without a gfci though it's a bit of a safety hazard. Completely dry polishing is a mess and leaves marks in my experience. I've embedded things like sliced agate th-cam.com/video/7xqG08jkXA4/w-d-xo.html and have got that flush with a normal sander. But if you are doing random glass then you'll want to wet polish. (normal sanding won't get things flush) I was hesitant at first about the $200 investment amzn.to/29Rihuy, but I've used it so much and been able to make a ton of furniture at my house and it's been well worth it and paid many times over for the investment. You might look at trying to rent or borrow though if you only plan on doing a couple projects. As it is a lot of money just to do a project or two. Let me know if that helps!
Thanks so much for the info! Super helpful!!
You bet Mark!
very useful
Thanks!
Nice project.... Saludos
Gracias!
Wax your forms first with johnsons floor wax before you caulk and you can just let the caulk dry after you tool it then peel out the excess. Much faster.
Love the idea, I'll give it a try next time!
Awesome job bro nicely done to :)
Thanks
thank you... awesome
Thanks for watching!
Amazing!!!!!!
Thanks!
Love It! Did you build the stools also?
And when it's set,get everyone on your street to lift onto your cabinet 😁
Helps to have some friends to help lift haha! Actually this ones not too bad with the knockouts and since it is a smaller piece, but concrete is certainly a heavy material. Cheers!
1 question. Ive dyed my concrete black. When i fill in the air pocket voids do i have to dye the slurry cement too or will it just all blend when i wet polish it?
Thank you for the great video!
You'll want to dye the slurry to help it blend :)
Man... You are a fucking Genius!
Thanks for watching man!
