The truth is, after watching this “Cool Guy” (I felt the exact same way), I feel confident in trying something like this. Very informative and makes the process seem user friendly.
Your Dudeness, Superb two part instructional video. Wonderfully adaptable. Excellent mentorship. This talent can get you hired in the Scenic Arts department of tv or moviemaking industry. Finally, absolutely the best destruction scene I've ever seen. Hall of Fame nomination from me.
In my 237 years I have never seen anyone put brick on a wall like that, but oh by gosh by golly, you did it and it worked. I am a gonna have to get me some of that.
You’re the best guy doing this type of video I’ve seen, nice work Michael. I’ve had the idea to sculpt concrete into stones or bricks for a long time and didn’t know the products to use. Thanks!
I got that nervous feeling when the mix stopped giggling around 8:08. Then you actually said it! People who are familiar with high performance concrete know all to well about the rush that comes from racing the set time. Out here in Vegas it is not for the faint of heart because even set control adds only a couple minutes of working time. Great Channel.
I love Rapid Set products. I have used their hydrolock to repair a foundation wall which stops water leaks followed up with their mortar mix which they recommend to also use on foundation wall repairs and now I'm getting ready to use their Cement All. I've done a lot of research on that product and I can't say enough how much I love their products. I follow two contractors on TH-cam that also use and recommend Rapid Set products.
Awesome video. I have block retaining walls around my pool that I just can't find time to stone veneer. This is the perfect solution!! Much appreciated.
My wrists are both shot, so this isn't anything I could ever do again, but I sure do enjoy watching you work! I can imagine the things I could have done years ago had TH-cam been around to show techniques like this.
So AWESOME!!! You have inspired me to use this for a project that's been 12 years in the planning- finally I know how to do it 👍👍👍 much appreciated xox
I have nothing in my backyard, and after this channel, I just want to build concrete bowls and concrete tables for days lol. I would love to see other builds
You have made a new fan! I loved the wall. Got a lump in throat watching you smash it... but then again was in awe how well they both adhered to the bricks.
Thank great video I'm learning a lot. I used 4 bags of Cement All for the first time resurfacing our patio. Definitely, a learning experience the first bag wasted a lot. But, gradually for me mixing by hand was better than a drill.
I love your channel even though I only discovered it this very evening. Great work on all your vids! The only thing that could've enhanced this video ever further IMHO was a little Pink Floyd behind the destruction part... but maybe that's just me! ;) A big thumbs up from The Netherlands!!!

hey I once worked weekends at home cheapo in Jersey and during the week, building FraggleRock5243 in Vermont, bow Jersey is a past state, and Vermont is now Now Home
You are an artist and I really wanted to cover my foundation with those brick veneers, but I don't want to spend the money for them, so I'm going to try to do the bricks like you did. I'm a sixty-year-old woman and I'm fixing my Foundation,it's full of cracks. I've learned how to do so many things in this house hope I can do it , but I don't know
I'm back. You've given me the courage to tackle my exterior foundation. I've used the rapid set mortar mix to patch some holes and adhere a broken corner. Stuff is amazing and bonds incredible. I'll use the cement all as a final parge coat. Thanks for a great video !!
Woow what a nice video, I’m thinking of getting a manufactured home and searching for ideas for the under pinning and the first video gave me the answer, fake rock looking like with the stucco or brick cheep and beautiful, thanks !
Love everything about this! This girl is not afraid of tools and trying new things. I have a rough-looking 4 1/2 foot tall cement pad that acts as a retainer wall to a lower patio with a hot tub up above it on the upper patio. I'm going to try this to decorate that wall. I'm definitely making this channel part of my youtube family of go-to media. :)
Oh my HECK!! You seriously changed my life. I'm going to attempt my creativity on a boarder cinder block wall in my front yard. I will send you an update. 😁
That's mesmerizing to watch. I want to add a riverstone stone effect at the bottom of my house, then put siding above that. Currently it's wood siding. This video gives me inspiration. Great choice in the beer!
Really good! You do make it look easy like Bob Ross who you mentioned in the first show. Not only do you have talent but you are a natural at teaching.
Everytime I watch one of your videos I want to get er done.. . Instead i just continue watching.... Keep it up! My 9 year old enjoys your stuff aswell.
😍 in love with that wall. I’ve been looking for someone to do my wall for me and even offer to pay my brother and he won’t even respond said he’s too busy. I’m gonna have to tackle this one on my own. Wish me luck! Trial and errors I guess 🤦🏽♀️
Go get it, girl! My husband quit trying to do any concrete repair around our house once I asked if I could try it and did it much better than he ever has! Now he just does the mixing & brings me the mortar to work my magic! I'm going to use this video sometime this summer to spruce-up my front porch. I hadn't considered doing the stone-look thing, but I think I am going to do it . I want to find out how tough it would be to use concrete dyes to give the stones different colors. You can do this! :-)
Thank you so much for your video. It’s really inspiring. I appreciate all your hard work. I love cement and working with metal hopefully in the future. Thanks again. God bless you.🙂🙂👍🙏
Thanks for the demo. I am skilled in most areas of construction, but masonry isn't one of them. Thank you for showing what can be done with this product.
I absolutely love rapidset cementall. I just repaired my concrete steps. It rained an hour later and i forgot to tell my daughter to come in the back door wjen she got home. Guess what? It did not matter that they got rained on or that she walked on them. That is how gast it sets up and how strong it is. Love it
@@traviscall2246 right that's all I could think too..someone woulda came and picked it up, and paid you for it too. Gonna be a lot more cleanup too... Was a really nice piece!
I learned my lesson after 30 years of doing stuff, that not wearing gloves during demolition is a bad idea. Had a chunk of concrete fly right into my fingers and cut me pretty good as I was pounding a few blocks real hard (giggity giggity).
nice video! love this mix. expensive now in 2023. and yea it can be hard to finish. even with "set control" packets. the packets sacrifice strength though. read directions carefully. you can use several packets per bag. you can really feather edge this stuff and really does NOT shrink.
We have to use the set control to work with this stuff. I used it today in a 90° temperature and it set up so quick that I didn’t have a chance to work with the whole material, I end up loosing half a bag. However is a awesome product.
Well Michael, I see you didn't miss me.😭 Lol just to let you know how much I like watching your videos, I over cooked my pizza, I had to show you to my other half. He liked that making of stone on bottom of wall. Said be good for our chimney, the one for the furnace we don't use. The one he won't get a chance to put stone on now. Now he understands why I don't want to miss your videos. Sorry missed last one,. Phone was out, missed notification for it. Thank you so much for your videos they are fun to watch and learn from everyone. Hope you and family are well and safe. 😄 Sorry, the phone was before last week. Last week I was in our woods cutting down trees for our firewood. Yes, I am also a lumberjack. Lol.
Your a god of mortar/cement mix...create and destroy...a big thanks to showing use what's possible...got my brain racing with ideas...though, I thinks I will master the "happy little accidents" part. : )
Amazing info! Wish I had this last year when I parged my walls. It was a nightmare haha. You make it look sooooo easy. I think in about “30 years” I’ll get better haha
Nice work and very interesting explanation of application and technique. I really enjoyed your presentation and respected you for it and the Guinness, obviously you have great skill and excellent taste!
YEAH!, this was like waiting on the final episode of Mash to premiere. Going to try my hand at several of your videos. You make it look easy, hope it isn't too bad.
you say, your not an artist, but you are, thats why I watch your channel, because of the art...✌❤😁
Wow, looks like you have been doing this for 30 years.
LOL
There’s always that smart aleck...
Ha. Just watched that other video.
I was gonna guess 30 as well
😆
I've been a Mason for more than 20 years and that is amazing that he is standing on that block
Michael I never said a public thank you for all the help you have given me with my projects. Thank you for sharing and kindness
At the beginning ov video I thought, this guy thinks hes so Cool, at the end, I said to myself, This Guy ios So Cool!!.. :)
The truth is, after watching this “Cool Guy” (I felt the exact same way), I feel confident in trying something like this. Very informative and makes the process seem user friendly.
Amazing and I see how cement isn't being valued like it should for being an art form. I enjoyed watching this video.
It is, just not in this country. Asian countries use it for architectural, artistic and sculptures alot.
Your Dudeness,
Superb two part instructional video. Wonderfully adaptable. Excellent mentorship.
This talent can get you hired in the Scenic Arts department of tv or moviemaking industry.
Finally, absolutely the best destruction scene I've ever seen.
Hall of Fame nomination from me.
Lol 😂 thank you very much!
I been watching his videos for 30 years.
Best test for this product on YT. Everyone else is doing fence posts. Thanks
In my 237 years I have never seen anyone put brick on a wall like that, but oh by gosh by golly, you did it and it worked. I am a gonna have to get me some of that.
A true artist, create a masterpiece of immense beauty and then..........
I can't stop watching these videos 😲
Welcome to the channel! 😊👍🏻
Use the material to its full potential . Really enjoy watching both Part A and Part B. Thanks

We went from Michael Builds to Michael Destroys in 1 video.
BTW that stuff is amazing, well done!
It was unexpected but it was awesome he does it so well
Awesome video. I have block retaining walls around my pool that I just can't find time to stone veneer. This is the perfect solution!! Much appreciated.
Same here!!! Glad I found this video.. I wanna do this to it! It would look smooth as silk!

Yaaayyy! You're back! Tornados won't keep me from watching this!
Wait a minute, a beautiful woman want to see a man work with mortar. Where can I find a babe like this?
@joskemom 😍😆😂
joskemom No shit. She is a unicorn
The end was definitely a great way to release stress.... it looks like the half block still didn’t break off! 🌸🌺🌸
Awesome work. I would love to see how you coffee table and curved counter tops are holding up after a year of wear and tear!?
Me too!
Enjoyed this 2-part series and learned a ton!
I love your channel even though I only discovered it this very evening. Great work on all your vids! The only thing that could've enhanced this video ever further IMHO was a little Pink Floyd behind the destruction part... but maybe that's just me! ;) A big thumbs up from The Netherlands!!!
All in all, I second this most excellent suggestion.

Great Job. We use these products quite often. Actually repair concrete sidewalks, stairs and curbing
I have so many ideas now for this application... custom garden fountain built into raised garden beds comes to mind...
You have a way of making the creative ideas start to flow brother. Thanks for the information. Great video as always.

Elaine, did you do the wall? Share it with us. We'd love to see it.
This video was just what I was looking for to build my fire pit bench! ❤
This was so brilliant! A waist in the end but you have given me so many ideas. Thank you!
Great videos. This is the kind of stuff viewer need to support. Good job M
See... you get it! Haha. Thank you so much!
Amazing strength in such a short time!
Aluminum Silicate cements are very heat resistant, how about a fancy fire pit?
Michael, do this! A rocket stove style firepit! Or a concrete solo kind of thing
Yes please.
🔥 🔥 🔥
Yes, this!! I’m beginning a big smokeless fire pit project and I’m thinking the cap will HAVE to be poured.
Thank you so much for your video. It’s really inspiring. I appreciate all your hard work. I love cement and working with metal hopefully in the future. Thanks again. God bless you.🙂🙂👍🙏
MAN MY BLOOD WAS PUMPIN FOR THE END !!! Most AWESOMELY BEAUTIFUL DEMO
Captain Morgan, lol. you are a breath of fresh air. Very cool video.
Excellent videos. I knew this could be done. Just needed the right person to show me how!! Thanks!!
OMG I need these products! I bought the WRONG stuff today. SMH. OK... I'm motivated now! Thank you!

No, you’re AMAZING! 😊
I’m sold on rapid set. Great job.
Hate to see the DEstruction after such amazing CONstruction! But, you're right...what in the world would you do with it? Thanks for the INstruction!
carry on make it a water feature??
@@randyhiusser4581 Coulda sold that water feature for like 500 bucks

Ok fingers crossed this will work for me. I will be using this product to cover my stone fierplace.. im excited.
Amazing info! Wish I had this last year when I parged my walls.
It was a nightmare haha. You make it look sooooo easy.
I think in about “30 years” I’ll get better haha
Had no idea this was possible... but I do now! Thanks Michael. :)
DEMMMMMMOOOOO!!!!
Nice work and very interesting explanation of application and technique. I really enjoyed your presentation and respected you for it and the Guinness, obviously you have great skill and excellent taste!
That freestyle turned out great 👍
Thank you so much!
Great job as usual. You may want to emphasize that you must use SET Control to get this type of finish and working time.
YEAH!, this was like waiting on the final episode of Mash to premiere. Going to try my hand at several of your videos. You make it look easy, hope it isn't too bad.
I'm going to remember this! Awesome side by side. Love the videos man!!
I can't wait to try these ideas on my new house😁
No way did you stand on that....👀😂👌
That's amazing. Nice vid.👊
Knocking it down..... something that matches my talents!!!
Construction vs Destruction😁
I can't believe he showed all that skill through this series and then managed to glue the block on upside down.
BWAH 😂
i just tried this product today... holy moly that sets fast. idk if 15minutes is right or the time goes by so quick... its so quick
Nice job Michael! Very timely for me as I'm about to do a small wall on my patio.
It's all the different cam angles for me💯
By the way, you ARE an artist.
$14 bucks a bag where I'm from. It's easier and cheaper for me to get real rocks, brick and morter but I love this idea. Great work
That stuff sets quick and so bloody strong grate vid mate
Wow, cool. You should take this show on the road.
You resolved one problem I have thanks for your posting,
Great work brother ,keep showing amazing skills ,thumbs up,,
You're very talented! Awesome job!!
That destruction was oddly satisfying
BBQ surround video should be the next video with this stuff!!
Great work as usual.
