It’s nice to watch a great video that was well thought out, educational, and high quality. Great job. Nice project. The tips that beginners wouldn’t know were nice also. Like wet concrete being corrosive and not to use standard caulk because it’s too strong to get an easy release. I like taller beds so I’d modify the plans accordingly. I’d estimate a bed 4×8 and 16 inches tall to need two bags of concrete per mold. 6 panels needed. 12 bags at $5 is $60 for concrete and a couple pieces of rebar. Inexpensive, long lasting bed that can be removed and installed elsewhere if I move or change the layout of my garden. Great work!
Супер 👍
I'm a concrete form Carpenter I enjoyed the video thank you. You can probably get away without Using caulking and sealant and polyurethane. . Clean up edges with file or mason disc on grinder .Buy some mdo board very reusable for a long time. Instead of screwing you form together consider clamping method to make it easier to take apart and put together. Form oil works really good I'm just about any wood. We reuse forms for construction jobs for months in repetitive concrete form pours on a job. Something to consider.
so much effort for so little reward .. what a waste of time and money
👍👍👍
Marry me
What a wonderful idea 😊
really well done !
How are they holding up 4 years later?
Do you have a photo of how these are doing now?

This is great, you're truly talented!
I love this design, but PLEASE stop pulling your plywood through your table saw. This is one of, if not, the most dangerous ways to use a table saw. This cutting method almost begs for kickback. Because you have a firm grip on the lumber, when kickback occurs, your hands can be very forcefully, pulled over the blade and actually into the blade. If a table saw can make incredibly easy cuts in lumber, it will go through the human body even easier. There are plenty videos all over YouTube showing how dangerous this can, very quickly, go horribly wrong.
I don't have all the tools to make this. Do you sell these molds in put together parts?
Question for you sir. If we purchased your plans before but thru another email that I'm not sure if I use or discontinued using last summer can I still download those plans or what do u need to send them or let me download them again…or will you?
I would love to buy your cement raise beds from you if you sell as a kit. Let me know and I’ll order from you no matter if it takes 5 months to make and receive from you to me.
Nice work. Not sure if it was already mentioned, but using a good sealant might be a good idea —esp for winter protection.
adding 2 sheets of steel mash – one each 2cm in from the surface – will make the brick stronger. One in the middle does not help if the force pushes sideways
Over engineering at its best :)) 😂
Will you sell your mold so that I don’t have re build your design mold for concrete boxes.
This is amazing, if you are cheap and in a rush you can mold it right in place, that's what I'm doing for sure!
Just arrange concrete bricks in a rectangle shape. There you go…😂
Great videos. What software is that you used for the design and animation? Thanks!
Make them out of pallets? Lol. This would be really cool with aircrete.
This guy is a genius
Very nice. Lots of work, but awesome in the end
Your way overthinking this you don't need to seal the forms with caulking and you don't need to put a polyurethane seal on them I know many forms that are unsealed that have been going for more than a decade now
