Get a tub of paste wax and rub a light coat of it on your buckets before pouring the concrete, makes them separate much easier. Also, to go to the next level, you can mix your own concrete blends, just buy Portland cement and sand, mix 1:3, add water that’s 1:5 latex primer paint and water. Will cast much better - less air holes and smoother finish without any aggregate.

I gotta say, this video surpassed my expectations. Interesting process on making the molds reusable!

You just need to oil your containers before pouring concrete. It prevents the concrete from sticking to the container and makes it easier to detach later. It’s just a construction technique. As an architect we actually do this to all shuttering for concrete before pouring in the mix. You could use any oil for the matter. Would have saved you a lot of time, buckets and a video 🤗

Seeing how much detail you put into this is inspiring! You clearly make these videos so detailed because you’re very passionate about what you do. And that’s awesome. Keep up the good work!

I love this video. Details without it being overbearing or under informed. Thanks dude.

Thank you so much for creating such a detailed tutorial! These planters look super sleek. I think I'll definitely be making these for my plants. I also really appreciate the eco friendly and reusable sentiment behind the entire project. Your enthusiasm is infectious!

This is the only tutorial I’ve found that doesn’t involve destroying the inside of the mold. Plus, using a jigsaw as the vibrator is brilliant! Thanks for taking the time to make this video!

Top tip: multicutter is the easiest way ive found to cut plastic. No cracking of the plastic and no nearly cutting your fingers off.

10 minutes in and I'm convinced you're a genius!! Those spacing blocks!! OMG!!

I really appreciate your videos! Only watched two so far this one and the workbench build but they both were pretty top notch.

You are definitely a genius! I have been wanting to make big cement planters but didn't know how. Now you know what will keep me busy come Spring. Thanks a bucketful!!!

Dude. You killed it. This is the best concrete demonstration. You've added alot of value here. Thank you😇😊

This is EXACTLY what I've been looking for.! Finally found a video that is easy to follow with awesome results. Thank YOUUUUU.

Thanks Moser. I ordered my supplies from Lowes while watching this video and printed out your template. Hoping to make a few later this upcoming week.

Sir you are heaven sent this is the best video on concrete planters on youtube

wow! this is the coolest video about concrete planters making! Thank you for such attention to detail, it's priceless.

Great video! The alignment blocks are great for the top. Perhaps you could use a 1/4" pipe nipple/tubing piece through the bottoms of the buckets to align the bottoms and build in your drainage? Also a larger bottom could be made to sit the planter on with 3-4" all the way around for polished rocks, marbles or rock chips. That way you can bottom water your plants. Thanks again!

I appreciate your attention to detail and explanation. That can be rare

Looks awesome! A cork, piece of round wood/Bamboo or drain pipe in the bottom will make your drain hole. That way you don’t have to drill it after.

After looking at dozens of videos like this I can say that the process is the best.

DRAINAGE hole---yes! Today, I've been looking at many DIY for concrete planters --and you're the 1st to address (& allow) for drainage hole(s). Thanks!

You’re simply amazing and keep up the good work god bless you! Your video not only help me but it will help million others for sure 😊🙏🏾👏🏽

How does this only have 1k views?! This is so awesome!!

You have some great BRILLIANT tips and tricks! THANK YOU! I need to find something to help supplement my income. I thought about concrete pots. But wasn’t sure. But you have worked out all the issues! I am so grateful. And you give such great instruction, without being too long winded!

your method is excellent. Thanks. I used a different method to easily take out the molds. Be it cut like yours or using original pails, I wrap the inner mold or smaller pail with newspaper, and on top of it, a layer of shrink-wrap to keep the newspaper dry. With that, the pail can be easily removed as it doesn't in direct contact with the cement.

Thanks for the video. This inspired my new method, which is working well for me: -slit the outer bucket down to 1" above the bottom, and drill a small (1/8") hole at the bottom of the slit to help prevent it spreading further. No slit needed in the inner bucket. -install schrader air valve nipples in the bottoms of both buckets. Place a small piece of tape over the concrete-facing side of both air nipples to prevent the concrete from fouling the valve. -After the concrete is cured, hook a bike pump up to the inner bucket's air nipple and pump. The inner bucket immediately separates from the concrete and can be lifted clear. - urn the outer bucket on its side, remove the tape from the side slit, and attach the bike pump. The combination of pumping air in the bottom and flexing the bucket sides quickly separates the outer bucket

Great instructions & insight!! So grateful! Thank you!!

Wow 🤩 seriously amazing video! Thorough and excellent use of your camera and editing!!! Loved the video as much as I (will) love my planters!

Thanks! Very useful for a variety of applications.

Best ever tutorial on concrete planters...!

Great Video! Everything was so well explained and easy to follow. Gotta check out some of your other videos, my friend! This was so well done! Thanks for your time and effort!

This is exactly the video I have been searching for. Thank you.

Good explanation of handy tips. Inspired idea for getting out the air bubbles. Excellent video!

Amazing. Great video with lots of details to help you along.

Beautiful! Thank you. Please keep sharing 👏🙏

This is a well done video. Very thorough. I wish all tutorial videos where like this.

hey man this is a great job and well put together. Thanks for the template. Exactly what I was looking for.

Great video! I have an idea for part two! Do a search for dry pour concrete on youtube. All the trouble you are having with this project all involve wet concrete. If you dry pour, you won’t have any trouble at all. Ha! Then you can do a comparison of wet pour vs dry pour planters to deal with all the haters.

Excellent tutorial 👏🏻 Thank you!!

Well done! You are an excellent teacher

Great demonstration, I learn a few tricks from you..well done…waiting to see more of your work.

I’d definitely by the spacers if you ever decide to sell them. Great video. 😀

Often times when building forms for concrete you can add oil and that will make it easier to remove the forms and finish the concrete surface before it’s completely cured. If you change the oil on your car you can save it and use it for forms.

These are all helpful and clever tips my man. Keep these coming.

Thanks for the awesome vid, dude! I’m making some planters today!

Thanks for the video, very informative - I’ll definitely give this a try! Also, just wanna say that you’re a natural educator. You look pretty young, so I’m assuming it’s not years of practice - but seriously, you’re really good at getting your point across without me ever losing interest - and even more impressive is that when I thought myself a question about something, you were answering the question I had in the next segue Really impressive my man. Just sub’d, look forward to checking out your other videos, and I definitely wish you and your career choices all the best. Xiao

Good idea with the wood pieces! Never saw that before! 👍

Great tutorial. Thank you 👌

They're beautiful!

Awesome man thanks I've been looking for something to make planets with great work And poring hot water can help loosen up the plastic and make it easier to remove 👍

Brilliant brother. 👍

Spectacular!!

That was just amazing! I've never seen a better instructional video anywhere. Thank you.

Well done.

Beautifull pot stay safe Godbless

Your planters turned out great! They look awesome!😎 👏🏼 👏🏼 👏🏼 I’ve made about a dozen and I use inexpensive dollar store coconut oil or vegetable oil as a mode release. It makes life so much easier!!🙂👍🏼

Great video!

Use plastic or scrap around the smaller bucket. Stick a dowel in the center of the smaller bucket for a draige hole.

You are making far too much work for yourself! Here's a tip: First coat the inside of the bucket with silicone or WD40 or plain old cooking oil, before you fill it with cement. Then when the cement has hardened, spin the bucket over and pour boiling water over it, the cement pot will slide out nice and easy! :)

Good idea with the precuts in the buckets! Remember to wear gloves when working with any cementious material such a concrete because it is acidic and can cause skin problems. Also, pre-made concrete mix is great but you can also make your own with a cement bag and aggregates of your choosing for more customisations and strenght! Cheers!

Very Celver. Weldone!

great video, thanks

Good job !

Awesome video

Good Stuff!

Very good improvement to this design. love the alignment blocks. Did you add a drainage hole to the planter?

👍🎖🏆🏅Excellent Presentation, Thank you for your detailed explanation for completing the DIY project, please do make more detailed videos to help people like me who are not good handymen.

Impressive mate

If you're worried about cutting yourself, there are gloves available that fit closely but have some steel filament woven through it. They help to prevent cuts. I use them when cutting up glass. I don't know how well they work as I've never cut myself but they're worth a try.

🌎❤️🕊😊 😊 Hello! Thank You So Much For Sharing Your Skills! This is my first time Watching You On KZfaq! I Love Your Ideas & Video. I hope you will make more different sizes of Planters . God Bless. Stay Safe!

nice job!! question: have you ever tried making the concrete just a bit less thick and then pouring? You could probably drill the holes 20 minutes later, yes this would make another place to tape, but as thick as you have it, I wouldn’t think any water or concrete would come through. Thanks for sharing. 🌿

Genious!!!!!🤩💥👏👏👏

Very clever technique . I also like how simple and modern the planters look👍 The concrete mix is sand and cement or it also has gravel in the mixture?
