In this video I will show you how I made these awesome Halloween Tombstones out of Concrete! ...Of course I used Rapid Set Mortar Mix and Flow Control hahaha. I made a very simple straight forward one but did I stop there?..... OF COURSE NOT! I had to make a more complicated one using Melamine and PVC quarter round moulding. I also jazzed the Tombstones up a bit with some concrete skulls I made by pouring concrete into a halloween skull muffin pan.
I also decided that you all need a break from my obnoxious voice so this video is a silent video hahaha. I hope you enjoy this one and get plenty of inspiration!

Now That’s what I’ve been waiting for! But not for Halloween, I was wondering how I was gonna make the tombstone for my pet. Now I know! Thanks Michael!

@fortpatches Год назад

He made a pet specific one about 4 months ago for his neighbor.

@rogermccaslin5963 Год назад

Great project. I made some tombstones out of Styrofoam many years ago and painted them to look aged. I also just used a magic marker to write the names and epitaphs. The relieved look you achieved is a step up and, of course, being made out of mortar, they will last a long time. My son is an adult now so we don't really decorate for Halloween any longer. We would put them in the front yard 2-3 weeks before Halloween and let the grass grow up around them. We live in South Florida so in two or three weeks, the grass can grow several inches so it really covered the base by the time Halloween arrived. Between that and the aged paint job, they actually looked like they'd been there a long time. I was thinking, while watching the video that you could sprinkle in some colored grout like you used on the curved countertop video to give the surface a mottled look to add a bit of "age" to the tombstones.

I am so sorry that I didn't say anything until just now. I didn't get any sort of notification from RU-vid. My wife just happen to see it on her feed and she let me know this morning so I messaged you right away. I'm going to put this money toward drywalling the back drop of my shed so I can get my cool old back drop back haha. Thank you so much for being one of my Subscribers!

@brians9072 Год назад

I know you're the RapidSet guy and these are pretty cool but, the weight and storage might be a drawback. Can you do the same molds in a liquid foam type product?

@Alphasig336 Год назад

You probably would not get then level of detail from concrete foam. Though you could make a foam concrete block and. Then cover with thinner concrete layer

@mikebeverly88 Год назад

You could probably use a foam core like he has in some other projects

@leejaylampman2222 Год назад

Could probably do a layer of silicone filled with expandofoam

@RhumRunner41 Год назад

I’m sorry. If I spend that amount of time and money to fabricate these and installing them on the front lawn, there they will stay all year long. Who wants to move heavy concrete headstones? Love the content. Keep it up. And thank yahhwhoooooooooooo!

@Austin-tp5qw Год назад

What sealer would you guys use on a concrete fire table?

@nategeorgenson5179 Год назад

Could you also have inserted pvc pipe into the bottom inside the mold so that you could store them easier and just insert the rebar into the ground to slide them onto?

@MichaelBuilds Год назад

Hmmmm 🤔 that’s a good question. I’m just not sure about that one. I would just be worried about the strength but it’s a very good thought

@dennisschickling2249 Год назад

Nice Work. I would like to see you do some Sandblasting on some of your work. If you had some Small Rock in the Cement and Sandblast it will look Weathed. #STAYSAFE #PHILLYPHILLY 🇺🇸 #GOPHILLIES⚾️

@Eumaden Год назад

No Captain Morgan stance? I want may money back! 😂

@trashman1613 Год назад

Have you tried adding vermiculite to the mix to make the tombstone stones lighter. This is what I’v used in the past as not to get a hernia moving them around. I also added some rabbit wire for strength. But I was using the other brand. I’m going to try the rapid set next time. Although, I think it would be cool to sculpt each tombstone like you did in your demo brick/stucco video. That way there’s more variations if making more touchstone.

@marielynn5234 Год назад

Hi, Firstly, I would like to say thank you for your videos regarding using concrete. I was just wondering if it's possible to use concret to make actual gravestone for a grave !? And what is the best method to make gravestones last longer in cold weather for actual grave !? Best regards❤

@michaelminella Год назад

Amazing work as always. I have to ask, how much do each of those weigh?

@MichaelBuilds Год назад

Thank you! I think the little one is about 25 or 30 pounds and the big one is about 35 or 40 pounds

I really liked the video content but if I wanted to listen to music it would be on my radio and the style that I like.

@gofersprings4632 Год назад

Hey Micheal Builds ! I am actually starting to help out in a local cemetery. This process may work for me in making grave markers. Would you be willing to tell me the thickness of the foam that you used ?

@fortpatches Год назад

You might check his other video on making the pet tombstone markers. He goes into the foam a bit more. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-B91ISLw9cwA.html

@Raynestorm1968 Год назад

What is the wood looking stuff you are bending around the top of the first tombstone mould you made in the video? The stuff that broke and you said you were just going to go with it? It looks like wood, but I don't know of any wood that "bends". In a lot of tombstone tutorials the people use insulation foam board, which I am sure is great for easy projects, but where we live, the wind would have them taking off to oz in no time. Can I ask how much those tombstones weighed?

Very nice sir khurram Shahzad from Pakistan MashaAllah sir I like your video very well, I have a question for you that what is the name of the sheet that you have done stencil cutting and letter cutting and what is the name of the sheet and with whom did you cut it? You have

@imstumped2052 Год назад

I thought you would have a Cricut or something to cut the letters for you.

@darrinlindsey Год назад

Michael, I've looked back on your old videos, to identify how you put designs and lettering on concrete surfaces. I found one video where you state that you're using "natural grout", but you don't list it in the description. I've googled "natural grout" only to get many ideas on grout cleaning. Would you please give me an example of a "natural grout"?

@MichaelBuilds Год назад

Your friend has shared a link to a Home Depot product they think you would be interested in seeing. Hey Darrin! The words I used were “Dry Sanded Grout”. The color of the grout is called “Natural Gray”. I included a link for ya 👍🏻😊 www.homedepot.com/p/Custom-Building-Products-Polyblend-Plus-09-Natural-Gray-25-lb-Sanded-Grout-PBPG0925/313291656

Love your stuff . You videos are really fun and informative. I'm not sure why this is a trend . So many yters are going this route . From what I understand YT adds pay pretty well .(i could be wrong here ) I get getting payed but I'm not a fan of the " patrion" thingy . If you take into account all the channels. Netflix. Apple TV. Cable . Disney Channel , etc . Then have to come on YT and pay for the many other channels on YT because Everyone's want money . Just doesn't make sence. It'll cost 300 to 500$ a month just on screen time . And that's in US fund for most all YT channel. Add 35% for a Canadian subscription. I get that 5$ a month isn't a big deal but it does add up . I am subbed to probably 100+ different channels including BBQing/smoking , cooking , car stuff and the stock market and many more . Everyone's wanting a piece of the pie . I will keep watching you cause I really enjoy your channel. All be it few and far in-between . You do go month between videos sometimes . I'll just be late to the party (lol) and have 0 capacity for fun input . Keep them coming for us none members please . Best of luck Mike. No disrespect but money is very tight and as a family man . Choices have to be made . Just being honest here.

RU-vid pays a small fraction of a penny per 1 video view. Ask any creator and they’ll tell you that their smallest influencer income comes from RU-vid Adsense. The rest of it comes from Collaborations, Amazon Associate links, product plugs, Sponsorships and what ever else we can do to supplement and diversify our income. Since RU-vid is my full time job now and my family is dependent on me keeping a roof over their heads and food on the table it is that much more important to pay myself for my hard work. Speaking of hard work… I design and build my own projects. I do my own filming. I do my own editing and I do my own promoting. I work 7 days a week / 12 hours a day making the best possible content that my uneducated self knows how so that my viewers can enjoy 100% free content. Thousands of people view my video every day WITH OUT having to pay a dime or even a small fraction of a penny for all my hard work which I am absolutely fine with. With all that being said, with all that hard work and hustle, we still sometimes struggle to get by. Since joining anyones Patreon (or any membership or streaming platform for that matter) is 100% choice, I don’t see the problem with giving others the OPTION to help a little if they so choose. No one is forced or obligated to join or give anything. I am ETERNALLY GRATEFUL to my Subscribers, my viewers, my Patrons and my Sponsors. Every single one of you show your support simply by clicking on my videos. And for that I do my very best to show my gratitude by putting my heart into every single one of my videos. As for the long gaps in between my videos once in a while… since I do everything myself from start to finish and I still have family obligations to tend to, it’s impossible to maintain a weekly video schedule and I’m so sorry about that. But I can’t afford to hire employees. When my channel gets bigger, these things will change but until then I will run my channel in this manner because it is best for me, my family and my subscribers. Please feel free to continue watching my content 100% free of charge or obligation and I will continue to work my butt off to make the best content that I know how. Have a great day

@@MichaelBuilds I completely understand and I seem to of struck a thorn. In the end I love your content but can't justify the cost . I appreciate and apologize if my frustrations of YT and YTers are going in general direction. I fully believe that YT should reward it's creator's way better then that since the number of adds had gotten out of control . Off that alone YT should pay it creator's alot more .
