SO
SO I
SO I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU BUT I LOVE A DIY PROJECT ESPECIALLY WHEN IT CAN SAVE ME MONEY.
HAVE YOU EVER THESE CERAMIC
POTS AND PLANTERS THESE DAYS
HIKE'S STICKER SHOCK?
WELL, HANDYMAN LAWRENCE
HUFFINES IS COMING TO THE
RESCUE.
HE'S SHOWING US HOW TO MAKE AN
EASY AND COOL LOOKING CEMENT
POT USING EVERYDAY ITEMS.
RIGHT.
THE FIRST THING IS TO LOOK FOR
A MOLD.
WELL, LOOK AROUND YOUR KITCHEN
FOR A MOLD.
THERE'S ALL DIFFERENT KINDS
OF THINGS LIKE I HAVE THESE
BOWLS SO YOU'RE LOOKING FOR
SOMETHING BECAUSE YOU NEED THE
OUTSIDE DIMENSION BUT THEN YOU
NEED THE INSIDE SO YOU CAN PUT
YOUR PLANET TO MAKE IT COOL
THAT OK, I FOUND A COOL ONE
THAT I'M REALLY INTO AND THIS
IS A FOIL CUP.
I WENT TO HOME DEPOT AND I
FOUND IT THIS IS A TRAGER
CHARCOAL DRIP CUP FOR YOUR
TREGEAR GRILL AND IT COMES IN A
PACK OF FIVE AND THEN I HAVE A
BASIC PARTY CUP AND THEY FIT IN
PERFECTLY TOGETHER TO MAKE A
COOL TEXTURED PLATTER.
I LOVE THIS.
THIS IS FANTASTIC.
SO I KIND OF UNDERSTAND THE
PREMISE BUT I'D LIKE TO SEE IT
IN ACTION.
YOU GOT IT.
SO OK, FIRST WE HAVE TO TAKE
THIS THIS IS OUR OUTSIDE EDGE.
WE'VE GOT INSIDE A COUPLE
OF DIMENSIONS.
I'M SOME PAM THIS IS JUST YOUR
EVERYDAY PAM SO YOU GOT TO
COUNT INSIDE OF THESE SO YOU
KIND OF MAKE A LIBERAL COATING
AND THEN I USUALLY JUST FLIP IT
INSIDE UPSIDE DOWN AND THEN I
SPRAY LIKE THIS YOU CAN'T HAVE
TOO MUCH BECAUSE OF THE END.
THIS IS WHAT'S CALLED YOUR MOLD
RELEASE AND SO IT'S GOING TO
RELEASE THE CONCRETE FROM ON
THERE SO THE MORE THE MERRIER.
IT'S A BARGAIN NOT IT.
I'M GOING TO SLIDE THOSE TWO
OUT OF THE WAY.
I'M GOING TO START MIXING SOME
CONCRETE FOR SO BEFORE THE
MIXTURE CONCRETE I WOULD
SUGGEST PUTTING SOME LATEX
GLOVES ON.
IT MAKES IT WAY BETTER.
WE'RE GOING TO MIX THE CONCRETE
.
I JUST GOT A SMALL PALE SO THIS
PALE AND THEN JUST A PAINT IT
EASY ENOUGH WHAT WE DO TODAY
WE'RE USING A PRODUCT IT'S
CALLED QUECREEK AND WHY IT'S
IMPORTANT IS BECAUSE ALL THE
CONCRETES ARE A LITTLE BIT
DIFFERENT.
SO YOUR RATIOS OF MIX TO WATER
ARE A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT SOME
MORE ROCKS AND LESS ROCKS.
BUT ANYWAY WE'RE JUST GOING TO
USE SOME OF THIS SO YOU JUST
TAKE TARTIKOFF OF CONCRETE
DRIVE MIX AND YOU DON'T WANT TO
BREATHE IN THE CONCRETE.
IT'S NOT REALLY GREAT FOR YOU
IF SOMEONE'S CONCERNED THEY
COULD WEAR A MASK WHILE DOING
YOU CAN TOTALLY WEAR A MASK.
THIS WOULD BE A GREAT MOMENT.
I WAS JUST TAKING A MASK BREAK
SO YOU GUYS COULD SEE.
YES, I FEEL YOU I FEEL YOU.
IT'S HARD TO HEAR YOU WITH THE
MASK AND YOU'RE IN A SAFE PLACE
SO IT'S OK.
SO TWO PARTY CUPS FULL
OF CONCRETE AND IN WHAT A HALF
A CUP OF WATER AND HALF A CUP
OF WATER JUST TAP WATER.
I'M GOING TO PUT IT IN THERE.
I USUALLY RESERVE A LITTLE IN
THE CUP SO HARD TO SEE BUT I
WANT TO GET TO CONSISTENCY'S
SOMEWHERE BETWEEN PUTTING AND
SLIGHTLY RUNNING NOW THAT OK SO
KEEP MIXING UNTIL IT'S BETWEEN
PUTTING IN SLIGHTLY RUNNING.
ALL RIGHT.
LOOKS LIKE THIS SO IT'LL RUN A
LITTLE BIT IT CREATES WHAT'S
FAST DRYING CONCRETE.
WHAT THAT MEANS IS IT'S GOING
TO SET UP REALLY QUICK SO WE'RE
GOING TO TAKE OUR CUP.
WE GOT A PARTY CUP JUST FOR
GOOD MEASURE I'M GOING TO SPRAY
A LITTLE BIT MORE SPAM IN HERE
AND THEN I'LL START POURING THE
CONCRETE IN AND THEN EVEN
THOUGH IT'S ABOUT HALFWAY FULL
RIGHT NOW NOW WE'LL TAKE OUR
PARTY CUP.
I'M GOING TO PUSH IT IN THIS
MIXTURE AND WHEN I DO THAT IT'S
GOING TO WANT TO COME ALL THE
WAY UP TO THE TOP.
THAT'S WHY ONLY AND IT'S KIND
OF A MESS BUT IT'S SELF
LEVELING BECAUSE IT'S LIQUID
AND SO YOU CAN KIND OF CENTER
IT HERE AND THEN YOU CAN TAP IT
BY USING SOME DUCT TAPE.
WE HAVE SOME DUCT TAPE SO WE'RE
GOING TO PUT A LITTLE DUCT TAPE
ON IT AND THERE'S NOT A WHOLE
BIT NOW IT'S SO QUICK DRYING
THAT RIGHT OUT.
IT'S ACTUALLY WARMING UP TO
TOUCH AND YOU CAN ACTUALLY IT
HOLDS ITS FORM AND IT'S ALMOST
PERFECTLY HELD IN THERE AND SO
YOU ONLY HELD IT WITH YOUR HAND
FOR PROBABLY WHAT?
FORTY FIVE SECONDS THEN YOU
GRAB DUCT TAPE AND BOB'S YOUR
UNCLE.
EXACTLY.
UNCLE. EXACTLY. AND THAT'S BECAUSE IT'S QUICKER
IF IT'S JUST NORMAL CONCRETE IT
WON'T SET UP THAT QUICK SO
QUICK GREAT IS THE KEY.
YEAH AND SO THEN IF YOU HAVE A
LOT OF EXTRA I JUST HAVE A
LITTLE HANDRAIL OVER HERE IT'S
JUST A BASIC CONTROL YOU COULD
USE ANYTHING YOU WANT AND THEN
YOU COULD JUST SMOOTH OUT THE
EDGES IF YOU WANT TO TO MAKE IT
PERFECTLY SMOOTH YOU KIND OF GO
BEHIND YOUR TAPE AND IT'S
KEATING RIGHT UP AND IT'S IT'S
PRETTY COOL THAT IT'S SO THERE
YOU ARE.
SO I HAVE A FINISHED ONE HERE
AND YOU WANT TO LET HIM SET UP
PROBABLY FOR TWENTY FOUR OR
FORTY EIGHT HOURS BEFORE YOU
START PEELING THEM APART, START
WANTING TO PLAN IN THEM YOU CAN
PLAY OUTSIDE HERE.
OH SO THAT'S WHY IT'S IMPORTANT
TO HAVE SOMETHING VALUABLE ON
THE OUTSIDE OF YOU TO PEEL IT
OFF.
EXACTLY SO YOU WANT TO MAKE THE
OUTSIDE FORM WHATEVER IT IS
SOMETHING YOU CAN CUT OFF AND
DISPOSE OF IT OFF EASY SO THIS
ONE HAS A FUN TEXTURE AND THIS
ONE'S KIND OF FRESH SO LET'S
SEE LET'S GRAB THE CUP AND THEN
I TWIST IT AND YOU CAN SEE I
TWISTED OUT AND YOU CAN SEE THE
RINGS WHICH ARE KIND OF COOL
AND THEN YOU HAVE THIS TEXTURE
ON THE OUTSIDE.
I HAVE ANOTHER ONE THAT'S DRY
JUST A LITTLE BIT FURTHER AND
IT'S JUST A LITTLE BIT
DIFFERENT IN COLOR.
BUT YOU CAN SEE IT HAS A
CRANKILY KIND OF TEXTURE GREAT
TIPS THAT LAWRENCE GAVE ME.
BUT ONE OF MY FAVORITES BY FAR
WAS TO PUT LOTION ON YOUR HANDS
BEFORE PUTTING ON THE GLOVES.
BY THE
