Finally some idea with reusable molds, I'm tired of watching ppl making planters with plastic container that are being discarded in the end, makes you wonder what's the point of making planter if you you have perfectly fine bucket 🤷
I had a problem with inner mold, very difficult to remove. You had issue as well on the video. It is very risky to break the side . Even after puting oil on the sides still it is difficult to remove the inner mold without pushing . My first planter broke. But i will glue it with cement , hopwfullly it will hold
Turned out awesome! You didn't paint the inside of the mold w any kind of silicone? Seems like it broke away from the cement so nicely and smooth. Are you a wizard? Thanks again. Matt
Hi thanks for asking. I do not seal it with anything since it has to be reused. If you align the pieces of wood together well and tighten then well, there will be little to no leak of the mixture. Thanks
Hi Luca, great work. You are bold to experiment and you have created the most elegant product. I am facing the same problem. I need much larger planters. The size is 15 feet by 5 feet. Do you think I can try your method at that scale? Or am I better with laying bricks?
@@lucacaruana19 Thanks Luca. I can work out how much I'd need for slightly larger ones (45x45x60cm) if I knew how much of each material you used on yours. I'm just after a rough idea to make sure I don't massively over order.
Thank you. for sharing your knowledge. I have been searching for this for a while, I finally find your vidéo. Very useful and educational. Wishing you all the best .
Hi thanks for the comment The clamps i did them my self from 2 metal hollow sections, a stud and nuts Its very easy to do and you can also make them the size you want according to the planter you are building
the aim is reusable mould, and this method will work on much larger size minimal planters which are usually hard to find and very expansive, i pretty much did exactly the same thing for other purposes, I’d say a better shaped inner mould will make the demould easier, and very few things can be done to improve other than that, and it is indeed, a lot of work on both the building of the mould and the casting, so has to be same thing worth the input
I really enjoyed the video and the content. this really is the only video you need to see if you want to make a beautiful concrete planter, thank you very and keep on creating.
