Personally, I wish more serial TH-camrs 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.
Yeah. And i am happy of the opportunity of seeing the forms being burned eventually.
Brilliant idea here...
The Wood Whisperer did an excellent follow up video on some past outdoor projects showing how the finish held up and how he's learned from some past failures and improved th-cam.com/video/kD9WstyGg-s/w-d-xo.html.
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.
You want him to start a war?
I would burn the inner form of the pizza oven.
Lots of interactions for ya Jason 😉
Please just sent pizza directly.
@@wadopotato33 even better!
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.
Awesome book that gives you step-by-step photos th-cam.com/users/postUgkxTNB_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!
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!
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.
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!
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.
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.
Finally, the follow up - I have been wondering how it went. Usual great work, thanks legend.
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
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!
Dude, keep doing what you're doing. Great wood working and entertainment.
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 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.)
Great follow up video Jason. The end was awesome when you put the big form in. Loved it.
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.
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.
I’ve literally been waiting a year and a half to see a form burnt. Thank you so much!
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 TH-cam today
Thank you for burning the forms. Yes, I do in fact feel better now. The wood stamping came out great, btw!
Cute, love it. If it gets cold where you live, you might consider sealing that tiny crack to prevent water accumulating and then freezing.
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!
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!
You handle the Sallys well Sir! Thank you for the great content over the years.
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!
OMG I love your editing, every cut to explosion made me chuckle.
Nothing more to add !! Bravo Jason !!
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!
Thanks for the reply
Congrats you've won contact me right away I have something for you

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
Is the c referring to higher carbon or something? Sorry I could Google it but im here now ..
He could have 3d modeled it first and coordinated in navisworks to check for river rock conflicts. Overlapping protons can be your worst day...
@@jacobfreeman7427
My guess is cement content.
I LOVE YOU MAN!!!...I love your honesty and when you make mistakes is what I love more. Always love follow up videos
Thanks Jason..... You did great!!!
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 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.
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!
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.
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!
Coolest fire pit build I've seen! Great Work!
I absolutely love this follow up video. I think you did a great fantastic job in the first video.
Keep up the good work
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.
Thanks for the video, always enjoy watching!
That was the first video I watched on your channel. And I've been loving the fireplace already back then!
You did a fantastic job! Enjoyed both videos on your fire pit!
I really liked your video. There is useful information inside, I'm glad I watched this
For what it’s worth some of us actually pay attention and never needed any of this follow up/ q&a. 😂🤣😂🤣
That was fun. Lots of arm chair warriors for sure! Keep safe.
Thank you for your video. I really enjoyed the follow up.
Great follow up video. Top notch humor as always, well most of the time.
I enjoyed you building this fire pit , I also enjoy your sense of humor I look forward to see more of your projects I would to learn more stuff thank you
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!
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.
Soooo Perfect!
Thanks for the laugh session!
More, more more please!!!!
The original video is how I found your channel and started following 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.
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
I built an outdoor firepit similar to yours, just MUCH bigger, 15 years ago. It has an inner diameter of 10 feet. The idea was that people could sit on the outer concrete wall and build a bonfire in the center and the fire would keep them warm. If they got too hot, they could always rotate their lower body out of the wall. Like you, I put river rock and rebar in the middle of the forms to save on concrete. Obviously my pit won't get as hot unless we build a huge bonfire, so I wasn't remotely worried about the concrete exploding. 15 years and several huge bonfires later, my pit still looks really nice. I never doubted your skills when I watched the original build video. Glad to see it worked out.
Love it sir ill be looking for more of your videos.
It looks amazing and you did a great job winging it!!!
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.
Looking forward to next year's FIREPIT update!!
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 😂😂😂😂
Your videos always make me laugh, this one did for sure. Keep up the great work!
*Excellent work!*
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!
I liked the first, I loved the follow up!!!
Well done. Nice to see the follow up 👍👍👍
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
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.
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.
I was thinking the same as other viewers to add more holes for a rocket-stove effect. You could also have the many holes enter the burn chamber at an angle (clockwise or counter-clockwise) to try to make it smokeless as well as burn in a spiraling vortex. Also elevating the fuel on a grate will help more air enter around more wood's surface area, and maybe help keep the vents from being clogged up too quickly with ash. I like it! I probably wouldn't make a permanent one but the build and texturing is really cool!
THAT'S the level of snark I'm looking for! 👍👍 You earned yourself a new subscriber!🤣
I would be jacked to have that in my yard! Looks awesome!
Awesome follow up! 👍
The fire pit video is how I first found you, glad to see the follow up!
Same!
I love that you still had the exterior forms I'm cheap and would have reused the 2x4s lol. Great job.
OMG! when you put that form on the fire.... I'm dying 😆
You’re alright mate. I enjoy your videos and stuff. Take it easy.
That was the first video of yours I watched. It was good.
A bloody hilarious follow up!
Lol bruh!!!!! Loved it. There's always gonna be haters and so called "experts" trying to put successful people down were they have failed. Just keep doing you and putting out the great content!!
Thanks for the humor. I imagine every project gets this criticism. "I bet it's easy when you have $$$ expensive tools" Keep the good projects coming!
Ya happy now? Gotta love it, Jason. Serenity now!
Great response vid. Love it.
What an excellent way to shout out mouth Sir, Well done!!!!!!!!!!
@@BourbonMoth. Thank you for the highlight
HA HA! Love how you run and fall at the beginning of your videos! Keep it up!
Great job on the fire pit ! I will follow your lead for my pit
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 !
Love it great job
Jason, you are the best, man. Great video! lol
Great video - keep it up Jason
It's not like Chimney's haven't been made forever! Geat job!
Laughed so hard! Thanks man!
i am happy now, thank you!
I loved this video!!
I could never make forms this neat and precise. Guess I will be hiring someone to build my fire pit
Fantastic fire pit. But better than that... amusement value of the voice-over! loving the knee slides! all the best my friend.
That was so funny when you put the big form in there!!! LOL!
You're Amazing! Love your videos! Keep it up!
Love this video
18 minutes of "get fucked" and I love every second of it.
