Great build love the table, thought while watching it that i recognized the style of build was the same as others that you have done, and i was right, well done on all those builds. Barry (ENG)
I'm new to your channel, and I love all the content already. I'm binge watching on my TV while I'm cleaning. So I can get some great ideas for my husband😁 love the side tables! Can't wait to see what you build next. So I can ask my husband to make for me😂
at the video marker 1:10 I noticed you were using Styrofoam underlayment when cutting on the saw horses. you might want to look at my video about Styrofoam 2x4's. I find them to be extremely durable and useful when cutting larger panels. great outdoor project
Nice build. If you do more concrete tops in the future, I suggest using a caulk color other than white to make it easier to see any flaws in the caulk against the white melamine of the form. Could you share where you picked up the 2X4 cedar?
I was thinking you might be able to just buy a paver to use as the top instead of concrete. Lot's of pavers can have cool designs and colors (and skip some work lol). Then just build your frame around it.
concrete doesn't dry, it cures. it needs water in the chemical reaction. you would be better off to seal ALL surfaces, including the bottom to keep he moisture in.
Great project, Brad! Did you do anything to the 2x4s to get them in better shape beforehand (planer, table saw maybe)? Yours and others' projects always come out seemingly perfect and square using them, but I don't find good quality 2x4s at my local chains.
+Cale B thanks, Cale! These were rough cedar 2x4's I brought down to actual size. They still had some bow, but at these short lengths you can get a way with a little movement in a long board. By the time it's 24" the bow is minimal.
Another great build Brad. Wondering what your general cost of this project would be? I was thinking right around $100 if you have absolutely nothing on hand materials wise.
+Craig Flack thanks, Craig. Actually it was much less than that. 2 2x4s at $8 a piece, 60lb bag of concrete at $5, 23.75x48 melamine shelf $15, caulk $3, screws $4, finish $15. So $58 with absolutely no materials and left with lots of finish, caulk and screws.

+j vent check out my Modern Outdoor Sofa build. It's a very similar design in the terms of joinery and I just used a drilla nd no pocket hole jig. That said, you can pickup a Kreg Mini for $20 amzn.to/2rtZ4sW and save yourself a lot of heartache. Or upgrade to the R3 for $40 amzn.to/2qERGaW and be able to do the pocket holes quickly and easily.
you can also buy a pocket hole jig at harbor fright. it is much cheaper and works very well. I plan on making some video's of some projects with it. I built a walkin closet with it. I just started a new channel me and my two boys. Check it out and subscribe thank you. let me know if you want to see the walkin closet, it was very easy
How do you get a 20" top using a 23 3/4" X 48" melamine and cutting 4 -1 1/2" strips from the side length. My calcs say 4 X 1 1 /2" strips equals 6" off the side of the melamine, leaving you 17 3/4" and less counting the kerf. Placing the 3'4" strips on top of the melamine you would have a total of 16 1/4" area left in your form, not 20" as stated.
This is a nice table but 1 flaw there is to much surface area on the bottom that has to be level one twist or bow in the wood and it’s throwing everything off

real solid build bro. love that contrasting look
thanks, brother!
Love the foam support technique you used for cutting the large sheet of melamine!
+DIY Montreal thanks, I do that for all my sheet goods!
This turned out awesome! So utilitarian yet so modern and sleek. Love it awesome job brother
Thanks, man! Exactly what I was going for :)
You made that look easy. I agree, this really finishes out the set of patio furniture. Good job!
+Bruce A. Ulrich thanks, Bruce! I do love the look of the set.
I have yet to do anything with concrete, but seeing this has inspired me. I've been wanting to make a top. Nice tips throughout as well!
+Stephen Michutka thanks, dude!
Brad - great job - I was working with Pete a few days before he went to hang out with you. Very cool looking table - I am adding it to my to do list!
+Thomas Dauphin that's awesome, Thomas! Was it the slab with the tinted epoxy? That was so cool!
Awesome work, Brad! The concrete work looked a little easier this time :)
+Crafted Workshop Yeah, just have Pete come over and do yours and you'll be fine 😂😂😂
What a great collab, you two guys are helping many do projects, cheers Sumo 👍
+Sumo's Projects thanks, Sumo!
Nice design! Simple but i like the finish look! well done.
+Brico Designs thanks!
Love your work brad. You should do a single seater chair to match your sofa as a project
+brett wheaton thanks, Brett! Another seating project is on the books. And maybe two. Definitely want to do a chair.
turned out great Brad!
+Southern Ginger Workshop thanks, Zach!
They look great. I'm using that spacer idea for my circular saw cuts!
+Ryan Hendricks it's a quick way to setup!
Nice work Brad.
+Ace Woodworks thank you!
Very cool build nicely done
Thanks, Thom!
Great build love the table, thought while watching it that i recognized the style of build was the same as others that you have done, and i was right, well done on all those builds.

+Barry Roberts thanks, Barry. I was debating on whether to do a video on these, but the two 2x4 challenge was a perfect tie in.
I'm new to your channel, and I love all the content already. I'm binge watching on my TV while I'm cleaning. So I can get some great ideas for my husband😁 love the side tables! Can't wait to see what you build next. So I can ask my husband to make for me😂
+Jennifer Scanlon awesome, welcome to the team! You can totally make these side tables on your own...you should do it and blow him away :)
very beautiful your job... congratulations!
+Mauro Miranda thanks!
nice out door furniture Brad
+DesertBum WoodWork'n thank you!
very nicely done.
Thanks, Cornelius!
Nice Rigid infomercial

+Russ Veinot thanks, Russ! I'll check it out.
Hi awesome channel ☺ Keep it up!
Thanks!
love all your project! Easy to follow. Just a question please...what is that pink sheet underneath the wood when you cut? Is it some sort of jablo?
Great channel! :D
+Gary Boldwater thanks, Gary!
Nice build. If you do more concrete tops in the future, I suggest using a caulk color other than white to make it easier to see any flaws in the caulk against the white melamine of the form. Could you share where you picked up the 2X4 cedar?
+Lloyd Simmons Yeah, I want to use black caulk in the future. Good tip!
Good thing I didn't go with my original plan of side tables for the Two 2x4 Challenge! Now I've gotta actually finish mine though...
+Kyle Nelson lol, first in with the side table!
Those are awesome
+Your trash my treasure thanks!
Nice job Brad! Do you have plans for a chair to match this patio furniture? Thanks!
Check out Ana White sectional. Made of 2x4s as well. I think she just used pine but I built mine of cedar and now these end tables will match

Hey awesome channel ☺ Keep it up!

+Patrick Norton thanks for the info. I'm still new to this.

Where are the plans for your projects, I'd like to make some, thanks

Cool!
+Fred McIntyre thanks, Fred!
excellent :-)
Just a question. Can I use wood instead of the concrete?
any rebar or other reinforcement needed in the cement?
+Ken Bayard I didn't use any because it's so small and almost fully supported
thanks for the reply
It looks really nice, It's funny that the biggest expense in this project is the melamine that isn't actually part of the final product! hehe
+Making Stuff Hahaha, no joke! But I actually used the back side of the form I used for the concrete coffee table. So I only had $21 in it 😃

Awesome
Hey Brad,
I don't have a pocket hole jig, How else could I join boards?
Thanks
+j vent check out my Modern Outdoor Sofa build. It's a very similar design in the terms of joinery and I just used a drilla nd no pocket hole jig. That said, you can pickup a Kreg Mini for $20 amzn.to/2rtZ4sW and save yourself a lot of heartache. Or upgrade to the R3 for $40 amzn.to/2qERGaW and be able to do the pocket holes quickly and easily.

Lol. That is the best way to mix concrete.

+Bill Brooks Sr. Bill you are absolutely right. I changed the voice over and thought I changed the other areas to reflect this. Where did I miss?
what kind of sealer do you use?
This is a nice table but 1 flaw there is to much surface area on the bottom that has to be level one twist or bow in the wood and it’s throwing everything off
Sorry, but where is the link for the dimensioned drawing.
