I made this a year ago after watching your video... I could not believe how fun & easy it was to make but also how smooth it came out. I chose to use mine as a succulent planter! So beautiful! Thank you so much 😊

This is by far the nicest, cleanness, prettiest, classiest quickest DIY fire bowl. Th black stones caught my eyes. You did an amazing job and made it look so simple. Your description was right on. Thank you so much.

I used QUIKRETE from Home Depot. The only thing I did differently was like he said, mixed the concrete prior to pouring it in the bowl therefore alleviating the scratches. I bought a bag of large black Mexican pebbles from the garden center because I wanted less shine from the stones. It was so simple to make. Always complimented by neighbors friends and family. Love your videos. Thanks for sharing.

Killer work man. Love the final result! Incredibly smooth. Also, the palm sander tip is pretty clever.

Nice job Glen! If I may offer one suggestion; if you use the wire mesh over top of the flame, make sure you are not using galvanized material. The galvanizing coating breaks down and makes toxic gasses when it is heated and is dangerous inside or outside. Another way is to cut out the area around the fuel can so the mesh does not heat up. Thanks for a great project!

Every single time I watch your videos Glen, I never think it can look good. The end leaves me wanting to actually do this. I genuinely love your videos Glen. Looking forward to the next one.

Beautiful job and a great weekend project. I love it. The "scratches" add a marbled look the glassy concrete finish.

I'm a 25 year old female who works in i.t. and I've never been so inspired by concrete! new sub! lol

hi DIY CREATORS ! I just made this bowl !!! It was not with concrete for construction because I accidentally bought concrete GLUE for tiles and thats white stuf but I am so happy with my result !I did not make it for a fire pit but I always wanted to have like a nice and sweet round little waterfountain indoor at the end of my sofa which had like this open spot despite having attached plywood on each of the sides making small drinktables and also creating a decoration shelf at the edge with a LED on it to get a nice effect with some planters ( bought planters before I met ur channel here ) so I finished it off with just some transparant woodspray and it is as if I have bought it ! I work in the reptile and amphibiansector in the weekends and showed my boss and he wants to have one lol !!!!!(No its not the diy huge frog on top of it but he really liked the concrete bowl here so I directed him to your channel and here by I had to say from him " wow this guy is just amazing , now he is using his skills and if he is clever he d make a business out of this , tell him to stop revealing how to make all of that and to start a business " well I just quoted my boss here and always do what the boss says right ? anyways he didnt find he has the time to make this himself so I just got extra days off ! haha ! thaaaank youuuuuu :D ps can I send u some pics and would u please say what i have to improve ???? perhaps a suggestion on paints or anything at all ???

Dear Mr. Glenn Sir, wow, I cannot believe how much I enjoyed your video on the Fire Bowl. Thanks again, Blessings, pierre from New Mexico.

Great video --- thank you so much! I did a version of this with a large round deep glass bowl, lots of pebbles as insulation, and a small stainless steel container for bio fuel --- all since I live in a Manhattan apartment and want this for indoors.

I LOVE how shiny it came out!!! It looks like marble. Awesome job!!!

Glenn, that bowl is gorgeous! I was looking for a simple way to make a concrete/stone fire pit for my back yard/porch and this video got me thinking of other ideas and it was so simply done! I'm new to this channel but I can't wait to see more! Great stuff! Thank you!

Wow I love this. And thank you for actually using concrete like it said in the title. Most demos I've looked at are using cement and calling it concrete. Fab work.

You're my new internet addiction. Love your projects -- and your videos are really well-made. Thanks, keep up the beautiful work! Subscribed!

Had a go at doing one of these, first attempt didn't turn out to badly... Just doing my own channel with some of the household DIY I've been undertaking whilst on Furlough. Some of these vids have come in handy 👍🏻

I absolutely love this...subscribing and I'm headed to binge watch your videos.

my opinion perfect amount of water he wouldn't have a chief such a smooth finish and you gotten dryer and your orbital sander idea or for the vibrating of the concrete is just awesome buddy thanks so much my new favorite Channel

Holy smokes man, that’s awesome. Casting from two salad bowls is genius! Well done. Thank you for posting.

I have to say your instructions are some of the best that I've come across. I found one other persons that I like, also (she used a terra cotta pot). Your cement turned out the best....Very smooth. I think I'm going to make one for my patio.... Thank you.

Great project. I plan to modify it a bit to make a small garden bird bath.

Dude I bet you were stoked to find that beautiful finish when you pulled off that last bowl. Man you for mad skills brother.

You do such awesome designs! You deserve 1,000,000 subs!

I love how safe it is. No gas or propane lines. Super genius......

This is beautiful I’m definitely going to make this a summer project:) Thank you so much!

Beautiful! Just what I'm looking for to make for my outdoor patio table. Thanks for sharing.

This same process with a few additional steps could be used to make an awesome looking on top of the counter sink bowl.

Using the palm sander to get the air bubbles out of the concrete is a pretty crafty trick. You just got a new subscriber.

It's so smooth on the outside, i love it!

Thanks for the great work you do. I am Dave from Kenya. i learn a lot from your projects and i have been able to make a lot of stuff around my home and people love them,i did some for my friends and i have been getting loads of referrals,i quit my managerial job and now i run my own company and i have employed 6 guys and still expanding.thank you.

Good work glen top marks mate! Your channel continues to impress, this is Simple and brilliant!

So simple and yet so aesthetically pleasing. My wife will want one (and I have a couple bags of concrete sitting around without a purpose).

This is crazy beautiful! I love it so much!

Wow...I didn't expect it to be that easy, a listen time and patience and you have an awesome looking bowl...you could make planters and other stuff too.

Glen,Wow beautiful home project,great job.... Love this idea and it is simple and efficient. Namaste

I see many of this no like how they make !! This one is amazing nvery clear how make love.

dude...your projects are awesome. subscribed!!

My daughter wants to incorporate a fire pit on every table for her wedding reception, so she sent this to me because it's the best design she's seen. I subscribed months ago when I used your table saw fence design to build mine, so imagine my surprise when I heard your voice narrating this video. Here I was thinking that you only did woodworking. Great design for a fire pit

Thanks Glenn great job buddy .. I'm going to give this a try 😎

Wow!! Your home must look outstanding with all of your genius ideas and projects!! I'll definitely try a few projects.. wish me luck!!!

Thank you from South Africa. Simple and easy. Thanks again

you ROCK my friend great videos great minimalistic ideas

Great job. You've given me a great idea. I'm going to make several of these and place them in different places around the patio. Keep building and inspiring others to do the same.

Love it! Thanks again, your projects are always cool and most importantly “doable”.

Love your bowl. I especially loved the SMOOTH effects due to the smoothness of the plastic bowls you used. Also didn't think about the metal mesh to keep heat rocks above all. Your demo/video here is just the best all around tips & ideas to be successful. I didn't think about hammering around the outside with rubber mallet to break up any bubbles. I am already thinking how to use the canisters so I can reseal with iids & not use pourable fuels so I can travel with one camping. (I have a commercial metal bowl that's great for size & weight to travel but it has no way to cover the fuel holder that you pour in not the canisters. Your design helps me figure out how to approach that in style. You could replace the color of rocks if for any reason it's needed or wanted too. Thank you for doing a fantastic video share.

OMG SO SIMPLE AND THIS LOOK SO GOOD! AMAZING JOB :)

A big thanks from Mozambique in Africa!

This is such a great job!! Exactly what I was looking for thank you! 👏❤

I used normal cooking oil and the shape came out perfectly ;)

Just a word of warning. Don't ever have fire going right on concrete itself. It will explode due to air bubbles being heated. I found out the hard way.

Outstanding, my friend! I’d love to do this for some decor by the pool, but I need a bowl about twice that size. This was fun to watch....beautiful!

Where did you get your black bowls and what sizes were they? I loved this idea! Thanks for sharing!

Looks so beautiful, great job! The only downside is having to remove all the marbles every time you need to replace the gel fuel canister.

Oh my goodness, you're amazing!!

Im about to construct an entire patio with your designs, you are a really well crafted human being!

Sent here by the +Crafted Magazine roundup video. Great work--Subscribed!

This is beautiful!
