I wanted a concrete vanity/sink for my master bathroom and rather than buying one, I decided to make one from scratch. In this 2 part series of videos you'll see my entire process of building the form, the products I used, pouring the concrete, and vibrating the top so that it doesn't have bubbles. This is something you can do yourself if you have the time and energy and I highly recommend you give it a shot.

I really like your "let's give it a try" approach and how you explain things.
Thx... I'm sure you hear this a lot --but you're a natural teacher, good communicator with an earnest enthusiasm that comes across sincerely. Thx for this video; nicely done.
Looking forward to 2 of 2!
Loving the hat and of course our hometown team. Thanks for the ideal.
This guy is pretty cool, honestly. Subbed. Thanks for the entertainment and tutorial!
Thank you for being honest about your work.
Ok this is a great channel, I enjoyed this and subbed, thank you.
You can also just use a random orbital sander (without sandpaper) on the form itself to help the concrete settle. Works like a charm!
Really liked your attitude toward this 1st time project. I agree that it can be stressful and that mistakes can be made, but mistakes = experience = skills. The satisfaction that comes witth something you made yourself also weights alot in the balance in the end. Its not always a simple 1st degree "will I save money" thing. GJ i will surely try this in the future.
The drywall job with four corners meeting up instantly lowers my confidence in this video.
Totally agree lol. That's the first thing I noticed and I was fixated on it the whole time. Not even sure what I watched lol
even the guy at my Home Depot knows you offset board, maybe there is another explanation lol
All you need for the vibrator is a sawzal with out a blade, Just touch it to the table and hit. works like a charm!
Good idea. Thanks.
Holy crap! Your a Bills fan! I'm a Bills fan too I'm from Buffalo NY! Let's Go Buffalo!

Great video! Other than the Bills hat! :)Learned a lot. Thanks!
Sunscribed before i even watchedthe video because of the bills hat LOVE IT
Dive right in, I like your style.
They are a lot more work than I thought too. Nice work. Go Bills
I like it, it’s nice, I like the knockout touch (edge liner, finished) ..
Very Informative video thank you for sharing
Nice work, Owen Wilson!
goga
JAJAJA This guy is so funny ! Haven't watched natural comedy like this in a long time.
I can’t believe I was half way through before I noticed the Bills hat. Let’s go Buffalo.
GO BILLS!!!!
So happy I came across your channel! xx
Very Cool. BTW..Love the Hat...go Bills!
GO BILLS GO
Amazing
Such a nice work. What's more, there is a lot of fun and budget issue inside this job. I have a question, how to get a fiberglass sink model?
I'm quite excited to see how it goes!
Neat video! Thumbs up, but to the Bills Hat lol. Thanks for the video.
Nice video... I'm gearing up to take this on including casing the sink. You don't feel it's necessary to seal the bottom at all? even around the sink?
Awesome bills hat!
I want to see part 2!!
DO IT! JUST DO ITT!
Muito bom amigo!
don't ever use paper towel.the wood fibers it leaves behind will get into your finish. use a microfiber cloth that won't shed.
Brilliant idea and enjoyable video to watch. It would be very easy to simulate a granite finish after it's made. That would have been my choice but you know what would go in your own bathroom better than me. Thanks again.
The thumbnail of the video leads you to believe that is what he did, but alas, the thumbnail isn't even a picture of his project. This video was a terrible DIY video, he doesn't even show his process for building the mold, only tells you. From what I've seen of concrete DIY videos, the mold is the most crucial part of the build.
I don't think it was needed. It was pretty obvious as the mold technique was considerably basic. You could easily make your own mold out of a plastic sink bowl. The only accuracy needs to be the surface that will be seen. Quite honestly, I had never though of using concrete which was why I made my comment. Whilst I am not sure if it is for my bathrooms, the idea was interesting. I, personally, enjoyed the video but understand that you didn't. However, that is just a fact of internet life and doesn't mean the video was "terrible".
I think he should have went into the mold build a little bit. But I'll admit I harped on that because of how the thumbnail was a complete lie. The thumbnail led me to believe he somehow made the concrete look as though it had a granite finish, which he didn't. Not even close.
GO BILLS!!!!
Awesome.
Good job, you win a suscribe and like
nice one
I don't even own a house and I just got off nighshift and I'm watching this lol..wtf
Since the last 3years that you have posted your comment here so do you have your own house now??
OMG I'm not the only one!
U alive bro?
Do you own a house yet? What's going on? Are you still night shift?
❤❤❤❤
*It is great for sits*
No handprints? You gotta put handprints!
Go bills
Very nice work. I was thinking may be it would be better to use more bars with smaller diameter or steel mesh rather than only two steel rebars. Also I go a question. Have you used a sealer so moisture doesn't penetrate and cause rebars to corrode?
Nice first Job. But I do concern about the lack of steel bar mesh, which would reinforce the structure, since any punctual stress might crack o split the sink's surface. You showed two steel bars, but I never saw in the video, where you placed them. I'd have used steel bar mesh for reinforcing the structure.
But it's even a very nice and useful sink, man.
Congrats!!!
Awesome hat
OMG It's Edward Snowden!
i screwed my top onto a table. i bolted a bench grinder and cut off 1/4 of the grinding wheel and used that to vibrate my concrete tops
the part we want to se eyou doing, you already did. the stuff we dont need to see like cleaning is in the video instead ;P
Go Bills!
You could have let the bottom half set a little bit then finished the top. Looks great might try this
Instead of an actual concrete vibrator, you can wipe down your forms and than us a oscillating or standard palm sander. The vibrations from the tool carry through the form. This works on projects that run about 24"-30" of depth up to 3" of thickness.
takes some practice to do concrete countertops. you did real good. I could have knocked it out in about 2 hrs from start to cure time start. Looks awesome...
@@MrFixItDIY I emailed you as well, send me specs I can ship them lol. You did great for your first time.
I suggest you try our mill cut steel product. You would be able to reduce concrete needed and insure hight strenght
Let's go Buffalo!!!
I feel at ease with this man's presence I identify with his ness
you bet your sly talkin keister
Are you the same mr. Fix it on aftv anyway love your Channel peace out...
"Dildo looking thing" is that a technical trade term or .....LOL!!!
Twanimoto Crostreet haha i came to write this exact comment.
i enjoyed the video. Im sure someone already suggested this, but why not use a palm sander to vibrate the form? i think it would do the trick
Now that you've done this, how would you make the sink mold now? Any suggestions?
Ok so my only problem with this video is the thumb nail photo is not the vanity sink you're making here... a bit misleading
Still I love what do Keep em coming...
and maybe some day make that that vanity in the Thumbnail photo
Thanks for the vids
.. do you have a link to the video or plans of the vanity the thumbnail shows?
Notice the Bills hat. I don't care for professional football, but that means you are most likely from Buffalo. cheers brother
Request: Fix the Buffalo Bills next
GO BILLS!
hello
is that one that you made is cheaper than if you buy one ?? just to see if they are the same or i go for the cheaper one and skip the hadr work
At least he said what everyone was thinking when it came up
a super plasticizer added to a drier concrete mix will turn it into a watery mix for a short time and give it a lot of strength when it sets. but so far I love your video.
Definitely need a helper to mix for ya
Молодец.
Thanks Tom Keen
That rebar was overkill big time! It looked like commercial grade where you could have got away with 1/4". Minimal rebar support was smart but another thing to consider using is fiberglass. It's cheap enough to give you a solid insurance plan and peace of mind for years to come.
You aren't filling me with confidence, but It's a learning experience... Did you say Harbor Freight? :)
where did you get the mold ?
I want to do one for my bathroom
There should be a lot more steel in the concrete. You did good to put the rebar in but you should have put in a sheet of steel mesh. It keeps the concrete from spreading and adds another layer of protection across the entire surface. Just look up when pros actually build concrete structures and driveways. Otherwise it turned out nicely. Good job
Do you know if vegetable oil will work instead of the release agent ?
You could also make your own molds
Where did you get the fibreglass sink mould from - Cant find any Supplier that exports to Australia
Any info would be much appreciated.
Is that basin just a regular basin or a template?
U look so amazing
I am building our house. I'm doing my research on the concrete table tops. The only thing that I can't find the answer to, is the way that it holds up in use. The concrete sealer does it age well (I know that you have to reapply periodically, like every year)? But let's say you spill milk or grease. Does it stain? If I use it for bathroom and even do a sink, does the sealer hold up to the toothpaste, soap, detergent? Is it safe for food? Thank you.
Hmmm have you tried again using aircrete? I think that would make it easier to move and make.
can we use this for a bathroom besides the master? or is it master only
Nice hat. Go Bills.
Where did you purchase the fiberglass sink mold? and how much did you pay for it?
So tell us the concrete ratio if thats ok? 4 to 1 ? 3 to 1 or 5 to 1 ?... making ones own concrete mix is going to be better\cheaper etc
What happens if you start filling concrete from your high point and then filll in the bottom once the top stops slumping? Similar to how they pour concrete steps?
May I know whether do we have to put any fiber in the cemment? Or just pure cemment will do?
Got it! Tq so much!!! :D
Go bills!
Nice work, only problem is that you are a Bill's fan.
Dildo thing😂😂😂😂 I'm crying😂😂
Braden Welch in ya ass
Big Dildo looking thing... I love how serious you were in the whole process then that comes out. I've loved a few of your videos but that good sir just earned you a sub lol
Would rebar reinforcement make it better?
Where'd you pick up the mold? It looks like everything available is pretty heavy duty (i.e. expensive) and made for contractor types, who will get many uses out of the mold. Any ideas for places to pick up something cheaper for a single use?
+Mr. Fix It I was thinking about that, but am a little worried about not getting a good pitch and then ending up having issues with water not draining well out of the bottom surface.
Don't over vibrate the concrete. The aggregate should be evenly distributed through the concrete and over vibration will cause the aggregate to settle at the bottom which is the top.
I just checked your website.. $250 for the sink mold alone?! Why on earth does it cost so much? I'd be tempted to DIY that thing as well
Edward Snowden is making sinks now...
ha!
Hey nice Bill's hat.
Go Bills!!!
