The guy ahead of the screed with the rake is totally important to allowing a proper screed. Not enough credit given these guys. He ensures the screed enough mud without holes or mounds. Good job!
Thanks for your priceless, practical advice. The mark of a true artisan or craftsman is when they can make their work look easy. Nice job & I love your accent. I'm from the states. I look forward to more wisdom & advice & have a great weekend!
concrete ninja you the man bro i’m learning to concrete here in nz been at it 3 years now and running my own crew and i always refer to you for tips because there’s always room to learn and improve. you have an awesome crew man and i too got a good crew but still have a lot to learn i also learned from olskool and was taught to pace myself best advice ever i can work for hours haha. not that i want to, anyways thanks for your skills and knowledge man and thanks for sharing i really appreciate it master splinter 🐀 😂 aka concrete 🥷
Great job again on pouring concrete. This is how I do my pours too, been at it now for 26 years. Always looking to improve my finish skills. Great job again my friend. Fairview Hts, illinois.
Thanks again bro for the detailed screeding video. You guys are awesome!! I hope sometime you can demonstrate how best to lay concrete and screed on a slope. Keep up the great videos. Cheers!
Great job screeding. Quality work. We would have done it with two guys and a 16' ft rod, but as long as you can give the customer quality, doesn't matter how you get there. Rake guy did great as well. Nothing worse, than having to rake concrete with your screed. Keep up the good work.
Beautiful to watch as always - love how you make it look so easy, no wasted movements, just a good steady and s-m-o-o-t-h technique - well explained too. Top job! 👌👌
Down Under, another beautiful job, thank you guys, keep it up guys keep it up, I know you guys work from the heart, God bless,🙏👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🤙
very nice mate its awesome to watch how easy you make screeding look, its the exact same way and pace my dad does it, brought back some memories from my first 5 years of concreting with him
Concrete ninja just got my screed tool deliver, here in California every body used regular 2x4 wood and aluminum just a few people, but I really like that one you guys used, and today got mine delivered from home depot, can't wait to use but no concrete job right know.
Concrete ninja it will I know before I'm using cuz the way you work I do too, and the best thing is not heavy like a 2x4 everybody use over here I'm going a show you the way everybody does in California.
It’s nice to have two ruff leveller’s I worked for many forms who don’t like paying wages so I had to ruff level screed hand cast colour float trowel up then stamp the concrete I was on £100 pound a day You have a good team fella well finished 👍
Disregard the negative comments buddy. This video demonstrates just how different concrete guys in Australia are compared to everyone else around the world. I’m very jealous that you have the time to pace yourselves because here in America, two guys on a magnesium 2x4 race each other to the end. Each pull is a step back and a typical day in Detroit Michigan includes striking anywhere from 5000 to 20,000 square feet off by hand. Anything more is typically done with a laser screed. Stay safe brother.
Hey good screeding bro. More credit to your raker but! Helps when it’s not so high that it’s flowing over your screed and getting all over your hands! Good raking bro!
You gotta have a good rake guy when usuing that screed board, it’s so light , that it’s really hard to screed a 5” slump or so. Personally I like a heavier board. That’s a perfect footer screed though. Great job too! Looks really good.
David Boitnott -SGA1 I agree with heavier board. Personally I grew up using a redwood straightedge. And the 8’ I have now I made over 18 yrs ago and still going strong. Wood cuts nicer to me on tighter slumps or cold joints
Great Videos and technical advice. Keep the great technical tips coming. Fantastic resource for anyone wishing to take up the respected trade of concreting. Well Done! :)
Damian Tehan Thanks mate I’m just making the video from today still right now should be up in about an hour . Thanks for your help today I really appreciated the guys are going to love the questions 👌👊
Ernesto Flores thanks mate for the kind words . You can follow me on Facebook (concrete ninja )and send us a video to show us how you do it in Texas . Love to see one
I do super flat floors for a living ,... 15 years for arguably top 3 best fibre floor company in Australia .. and I can say this guy is a flat screeder. Good work mate
That screed is pretty cool but we use a 14 ft hand screed for our Mark's and then a 12 ft power screed and it smooths it off to the same look and 1 man runs it. But it's still awesome the way you did it.
As a finisher I can speak for all and give a shout out to our backs . On a Sunday night after 1.5days of recovery my wife gets to enjoy the full pipe game
We use two guys to screed and use a 16 feet long screed. Much faster. Interesting to see how it’s done differently down under. We don’t wear shorts either when we pour. 😁
First up you can screed mate 10 out of 10 looks awesome and same goes to the man on the rake a good raker makes all the difference I'm a builder in Victoria and do my own concreting and I always dread the days when the owner wants to help and tries to rake. And what is with these concreters from overseas asking about our screeds? Surely Australia is not the only place that uses them?
in US they seem to use straight edges, not sure about europe. One local manufacturer said he has said sent over about 15,000 but still catching on over there
Fellas please don’t forget it’s all about the company that brings the concrete also I do concrete work and sometimes concrete doesn’t be mixed right and for it to come out smooth asf in this video you can see it’s mixed good. Great job
Bro this is awesome video it is long but when paying attention and looking carefully at how you move a screed especially when pulling a sludge and levelling it off, it is a repetitive basic movement. It is easy to follow. I have no experience at all in this trade but I am DIY guy and I like this video. Bro please are you able to make a short video explaining the part of a screed rail and which edge and direction that makes the concrete smooth. Just please explain more in detail. Thanks Bro
Keep up your Hard Yakka for beings to occupy and live safely within, and not for the job to simply be done. Slowly but surely however flat, square, and Correct. 😎 #Concrete&Aus
Half the work of concrete screeding is in what I call "quantity". It starts with the guy on the chute/pump, then the guy on the vibrator, then the guy on the rake, then the guy on the screed. If the guy on the chute/pump puts the correct quantity in, the whole screed bay is easy. The vibrator man can control it a bit with the vibrator and tells the pumpy more or less. Then the guy on the rake has to move the crete if there's too much or not enough, then the screeder after the rake. It's a team game concreting, that's why is a lot harder if you are a DIYer or doing it on your own. Either no one knows what they're meant to be doing, or you have to do everything yourself.
