I LOVE To Save Money!! Making Step Liners 

Love how your always thinking about what’s possible. Just call it beyond the pour.

I was in the liquid resin casting business for 38 years - this video brought back many memories - thanks !!!!

That's neat that you make your own stamps and such. The Barrell tops are nice. You're a very smart man Tom.

You are truly an artist. My friends give me funny looks when i tell them i follow a RU-vid concrete guy. 😅 im a granny that a appreciates watching men work.

G'day from Down Under. That was a most interesting video Tom. Thank you.

Make sure your molds are on a level surface,as liquid finds it's own level. That way they are the same thickness from end to end.

Mr. Tom...get yourself some ladles (varying sizes) for transferring liquids from their cans to mixing buckets (paint cans and similar too). Especially that expensive stuff. Neater, cleaner, less waste.

That new mold would be awesome on countertops and island jobs. Or if you ever do an outdoor mantle. Or if you are doing the wood plank stamp on a patio and there is a step into the house, the step could have that new mold and it would also look like it's wood also. So many possibilities!

I,d be super cautious doing any welding anywhere near those solvents. Ask me how I know.

I really enjoy your side project videos. Not that I don't enjoy you concrete prep and pour videos, just is nice to see your variety of talents 👍

I never thought of doing this now I can pre-cast molds for various plaster cast crown molding and trim. Having them on hand for future jobs is a real codt effective aspect for my little business. I used to have large 8" crown molding fabricated with foam, mesh, base coat and plaster finish. 10' was $850 9 years ago. Sort of like what you would get made for doing dryvitt..

Making your own molds and textures is macgyuvering like a frugal farmer would ... like the can do off season projects

I have to deal with a delinquent customer tomorrow. Make sure your contracts are iron clad. I learned that lesson years ago. I've only had to deal with this one other time in my 30 years. Sad but always be in time and properly execute your work professionally. I only act like a knucklehead here and GP&F. Thought this may help someone. Great work guys have a great day.

Now that’s a net idea.

Your videos have helped me save so much! Thanks for all of your hard work and for sharing it for free! I look forward to every video you make!

KUBOTA ORANGE FOR OUTDOORS WITH THE MORGANS!!!

When you retire, you just run errands, get parts and make molds and do maintainance on the equipment.

You could make your own stamps. Custom work..😊

Great video those barrel tops look great i like the winter time projects video's great way to keep busy 👍🏻

Good morning everyone!!… Nice job as always Tom. Glad yinz are staying busy in the off season. Have a day

Hi Tom, There's just something that making things yourself vs buying them that just gives you a sense of pride in the finished job. At least it did with me. Could you market these and sell them for a decent profit that you could justify the time and material in instead of concrete finishing?? Perhaps have a full time employee working for Haus Custom Molds & Trim?? Never say never. Stuff like this video is always neat to watch. Thanks for sharing and have a great day. Ron

Nice work Tom.

You need to do Kubota orange for the letters

Awesome 😎 thanks so much for sharing !!

Orange you say? mix yellow into red. That would be a great colour for Mike and Mellisa Morgans barrel top.

Good morning Tom

When you peeled out the pieces reminds me of peeling paint from a paint tray

TOM, what is the base mold of the step liner made from? and how do you make that? Or is that a proprietary secret for your company? Just askin, cause I was thinking you could use bark from a log to make a 'live edge ' mold for a counter top.

Hi Tom Just wondering why you didn't make any inside and outside corners ? It would be a lot easier to miter that Home Depot trim out of the styrofoam then concrete .

Hey Tom can you do a molding of a live edge and do you think you have a counter top market for that?

Nice work Tom. I may have to make some. What did you use to make your forms? Did you buy step liners and use them for the forms?

That looks Amazing Tom What do you Charge for a top

When you are poor you learn to save money and those habits never go away!

I love @smooth-on
