I did this several years ago along the back of my house, in some places deep, The only difference is I used concrete, and after removing the form troweled the top edges again, and when set up pretty good, misted with water. This gave a nice smooth surface without the rough edges. I had friends who had used them that ask how is the world I got mine to look so good, well that's how!
1 la base de arena no es estable para sostener los ladrillos. 2 es mas facil tirar un poco de cemento y luego poner el molde de metal para llevarlo todo a nivel, te ahorrarias muchisimo tiempo.3 nada
I never realized how easy this could be until I saw the walkway and patio my 90 year old father put in his back yard, by himself. I borrowed his molds and going to put in a sidewalk in my yard.
@@stephendall2329 ouch. Sorry to hear that. I hear you, at least with my age, I'm not 20 anymore so things take a little longer like that to get done, to say the least
Cut your time in half and get a Harbor Frieght 3' 1/2" cubic ft. mixer for under $200. Cuts mixing time in half. Plus pour mixed cement from mixer into a 2 gal bucket... then pour all of bucket (once you've measured and marked on the bucket exactly how much fills a mold) into the mold all in one pour then pack the mold. That streamlines the pouring and totally speeds up the process. His end result is great. But the same result can be done light-years faster on a tarp on the driveway spread about 3 inches apart. Doing them together like that next to each other allows for splashing on the neighboring cast slowing the entire process down. Plus, on the driveway creates a totally flat bottom. HF sells a chisel set for quick cleaning of edges after curing. Even if you choose to cast directly on the ground verses your driveway on a tarp... the mixer is still a game changer. 😊
Wow love this thank you so much for this great idea love your videos keep up the good work PS can you come to my home and show me lol hugs thanks again
This is for better removal of the mold and is self-constructed. A plywood board to which plywood pieces matching the casting mold cutouts are glued. By placing the casting mold, the casting mold can be easily detached from the concrete and can be removed earlier.
Der sich aber leider auf Grund seiner sehr viel gröberen Struktur auch sehr viel schlechter in den Formen verteilen lässt. Meine ersten Versuche waren damit, keine schöne Erfahrung.
Maker Torsten....genau das habe ich vermutet, dass das der Grund ist😉 ich kann mir jedoch vorstellen, dass die Frost- und Witterungsbeständigkeit damit eingeschränkter ist. Berichte doch mal, wie Dein Pflaster so nach einem und mehreren Jahren aussieht. Es gibt auch eine eigene Art Wetterschutzversiegelungen für Beton.
Ha, wir schwimmen auf einer Wellenlänge :-) Über Frost und Witterungsbeständigkeit mache ich mir weniger Gedanken, da die ganze Terrasse überdacht ist und auf der Wetter abgewandten Seite des Hauses steht. Trotzdem habe ich auf Grund meiner Versuche mit verschiedenen Mischungen und damit einhergehend unterschiedlichen Färbungen das ganze noch mit Betonlack versehen. Den ersten Winter hat das ganze jedenfalls schon mal ganz gut überstanden :-)
I was expecting to see Aggregate or at least Sand mixed in... but from what I can see this is just a straight Cement and Water mix, I assume this is strong enough?
Looks beautiful! I love how smooth the finish is. Can you explain what type of cement, sand, and aggregate you used and in what ratio? Did you use any other additives to the concrete? NICE JOB!
La Cripta del Ermitaño I thought exactly the same. But for some reason there is people for whom it is ''Why make it simple when I can do complicated'' ... lol
Me gusta el molde buen trabajo , una pregunta , es cemento y agua nada mas ? Y xq no trabajas con una cuchara en ves de con las manos , esa tierra esta compactada es solido ese terreno ? Pregunto
+Duke Nukem Naja, mit gekauften Pflastersteinen geht das natürlich deutlich schneller. Aber die gibts eben nur in den Standardformen zu erschwinglichen Preisen.
Ich hab ohnehin genügend Zeit zum bauen gehabt 🙂 Pro Tag hab ich auf diese Weise ungefähr 4m² geschafft. Bei 28m² kann man sich leicht ausrechnen wie lange es gedauert hat.
+Mallefina Gingilotte Schönheit liegt bekanntlich im Auge des Betrachters. Solange ich keinen Gegenbeweis sehe gehe ich davon aus das mir dein Werk auch nicht gefällt....
Am just wondering, why do they need to look the outfit of the worker, instead, they should concentrate watching his work...so amazing and nice. Great job!
I would always choose a German builder in sandals and socks over a british builder wearing boots, hi-vis-vest and a hard hat who would make sure the water flows towards the house when paving a terrace :) just saying
This is a simple wooden plate on which I have attached to the form suitable wooden parts. This is to facilitate removal of the mold. Unfortunately I did not make a video of the production.
Thank you for sharing the video. It's been 6 months since you posted the video. I am curious to know if your concrete pavement is still in good shape? I am going to diy this at my garden but have a concern, that is would the blocks crack and topple or become uneven over time? I am thinking of laying wire mesh underneath the concrete mix, to pull the concrete mix together. Another question is, is that just sand laid underneath the concrete mix? Would love to hear from you soon. Thank you in advance.
My plaster still looks like freshly poured. It is located under a canopy, protected from rain. Moreover, it is committed only by persons, not heavy machinery. It is directly grown soil, no further substructure.
Este cara esta fazendo na casa dele!! Não é acostumado com a profissão!! Observe que as ferramentas são novas além de não ter molhado o chão antes de aplicar a massa!!
B N lol he is slow but I personally don’t think he’s lazy at all. There are a million lazy hacks he could’ve used to just slop this together quickly but he didn’t. he is very precise & takes his time (ok a lot of time, but that’s ok) to do it right. I mean, look how good they turned out! There are no air holes, pits, divots, nothing! They look almost polished they’re so smooth in appearance. Great job!
