This video was rad! I liked see all the bits about the job, but the cool part was that Paul was so comfortable on camera. I dug that the most. Rad stuff dudes.
Nice work Anthony & Paul! When I saw you paint the bonding agent I said Yes! Most guys never use it and then wonder why their concrete fails! You all did the best you could with a pretty narrow wall. Overall you guys look like your having too much fun while working hard! Great Content!
Cement-all is some good stuff, sets hard in about 10 minutes, we fixed the runway at Sky Harbor with that stuff and they landed planes on it an hour later.
Excellent video. You definitely have to be a jack of all trades, unless you like giving other people money. Great job on the railings. I enjoyed watching the process being done correctly. It's nice to see people that still give a shit and take pride in their work. Have a great weekend
Nice job with the exception of you never want the rebar to be exposed to the outside environment it will rust in turn expand and cause your concrete to crack the pegs you put on the bottom we’re a great idea I would have only had them protude in the direction of the old concrete
Love your videos!! You're channel is awesome and honest!!! Get yourself a small "bulb auger " and cut off the point at the bottom. Mix any concrete or grout with it easier than ever before on you and your equipment! You'll never go back to a paddle mixer after that!!
Hey Tony, that was pretty cool stuff to watch. I have/use a 3” concrete hole saw on my 7” grinder, that makes short work for cleaning those holes out. The finish looks great. Hood down, lights on.
@@joecool4836 hi Joe, it’s a dry core concrete bit. The thread cut is the same as the grinder shaft. You can tell it’s dry bit because it will have open flutes along the side to evacuate the dust. I also use compressed air to blow away the extra dust.
I used to have a job mirror polishing aluminum handrails at a fab shop. It SUCKED! We also coated the bottom of the posts with something that smelled just like human crap. It was supposed to keep the concrete from eating the aluminum.
Another great video. I think a Burke Bar would be really helpful for you. Essential Craftsman has a video making one or you could buy one for like $100.
Love the videos brother. Gotta support us blue collar guys out here man. But just curious what you mean by hydraulic concrete? Just never heard of it and I’ve been in construction pretty much my whole life. Just trying to learn something new.
Looking good everything lines up perfectly job well done you should keep a machete on your truck an 18in blade is just the right size there one residing on my truck along with my welding tools
Next time try adding in some aggregates to the concrete, great to save money as they add volume and its also alot stronger in many different aspects, other than that great work brother!
Ram sets are one of my favorite tools to use . Fuckin cool. Little tip don’t smash the percussion caps with a hammer in a box truck with no ear protection 😆 hurts like fck
The thing I like about premix fuel there's no ethanol in it. Getting hard to find ethanol free pump gas. in Florida, do you have poison ivy and poison oak? Lived in Virginia and we had both but never had any real bad run ins with it. Just some mild problems.
@@MeltinMetalAnthony Thanks man! i've started my own little channel and have recently gone out on my own doing small mobile welding projects. Your vids are a great motivation!
just for future reference use a cats paw to take the pins out of the board one downward smack on the top of the cats paw will take them right out, sometimes you do get some blowout though so beware
I have very limited experience with chainsaws. I was freaking out the whole time he had that thing in his hands. I have heard, and even seen bad things happen when people were being safe. If nobody teaches him, he will learn the hard way. I certainly hope not. It's great to see a young guy out there working on his business. I have been around long enough to catch some of his mistakes. He will get it. At least he has the balls to go out there and do something. I always second guess myself, even though I have taught my bosses a few things over the years. I started one business and it went down the toilet after two years and contributed to a failed marriage. I have been gunshy ever since. It's all about getting on that horse and learning. I wish this guy the best, and I hope that he watches some chainsaw safety videos. Lol
On something like this how do you warranty this work, say the concrete breaks out in a few months do you come back And try to repair the concrete again, are you liable for any further damage to the concrete,? Thanks man
Yup. The rail is set just deep enough to act as a lever, and a powerful one at that. Talking about a prybar. That whole rail is a big prybar. If idiots don't come and push on it, it should be fine. But, we all know that some dummy will use it as a jungle gym.
Good video but when the pipe bottomed you SHOULD HAVE cut a bit off the end of the pipe. That ONE unlevel hand rail spoiled what could have been a perfect end result. Sometimes you cut too many corners and don't take pride in your work.
Only $17k?! That’s a lot of railings and labor for just $17k. Material must be dirt cheap in florida. All that aluminum would cost nearly $6-8k up here in the Midwest, not to mention fabrication cost, install cost, and consumables.
