in this world of despair to see this lovely man make something beautiful restores my faith in humanity

Doing it in his clean jeans. Barely a drop spilled on the white patio of his beautifully located house. No leftovers no spillage. Sign of a craftsman. Hardly a scrap on his hands, When I do it will look like explosion in cement works.

I really enjoy his simple, sincere style. He's not selling anything. It's so honest, like, you can almost feel he hopes you "get it" and that's all. How refreshing.

This man is a true craftsmen, and the patience to do this is amazing.

Sony, the best thing about this video is not just that it is well made, peaceful, and informative... it is very inspirational. Great stuff. Thank you.

It's always great to see someone making things with their hands. These are some awesome concrete planters and thanks for sharing!

how can 621 people not like this video! this is awesome

Sprinkling a good amount of fiber glass fibers or even cloth between the 1st and second layer and around the wires would add a lot of strength.

I have been looking for an extra large concrete pot online, but these are $200-$500! thank you for sharing your process, I really appreciate it!

I have been wanting to make large concrete planters for many years. I've seen many different designs from many DIY'rs, but your designs and instructions are innovative and exceptional! Thank you so much for posting these!

What a great idea! It looks like you had fun designing the tools, and the pots look very nice.

Absolutely gorgeous! You make it look so easy and that's a sure sign that it's not! Truly the work of an artist. Thank you for sharing your craft with us.

For some reason, when I watch this video, I get the idea that you're an extremely intelligent man. Well done. Cheers.

There is nothing quite so wonderful as watching a man who is really good at a skill make something useful and long lasting, AND all without spilling a single drop of concrete on that patio. These are simply wonderful. Thank you so much for sharing how to do it.

I can’t tell you how grateful I am for this video. Thank you so much.

Its great to see craftsmanship shared. This is why we cherish our elders and the knowledge they share.

Your pots are stunning. I tried making a couple concrete pots many years ago that was a failure but lots of fun. I saw what I did wrong by watching you.. the lots of things I did wrong. lol This is a truly great video about something we seldom see people do. Thanks so much!

The cost drew me in. Immediately I thought wow it would cost a lot to get the table and rig you use to form the pot. I have to say this is one of the most relaxing videos I’ve seem. Thank you so much for refreshing my spirit during this a Covid 19 and protesting/rioting time. I thoroughly enjoyed watching your craftsmanship. Then at the end you revealed your table is an old spinning chair. So you took old things and repurposed them too. Amazing! Thank you for a much needed break. By the way your work is beautiful too!

Your planters are incredible! I am stuck at the house caring for a disabled family member and have been going stir crazy wanting to find things to do outside and I am going to try my hand at this along with making my own pavers for my patio. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge!

Sir, your incredible skills using sand, cement and your tools resulted in beautifully constructed concrete planters. I'm sure this wasn't your first time doing that, and it shows in every step that you took. You're skills are great, thanks for sharing it with us.

This man does NOT believe in wasting anything - I love it !!! And he is the neatest workman I've every seen. This video was like ASMR, but with something useful to show for it at the end. Fantastic video. Beautiful pots. Well done

so during quarantine while i'm clipping my toenails, this genius figures out to do something useful!!!

Wow!! I’ve no idea how this is made!!! Very very interesting!!! Doesn’t look very difficult but the patience and finesse it takes to do this show through in his magic hands!! Great creation and beautiful planters!! 👏👏😃

My blood pressure dropped off a cliff watching this.

It was a magical moment when the final coating went through the "mold" scraping off the excess. Beautiful design and workmanship.

I was about 16 min into watching and the only criticism I had was " He should have drain holes" a few seconds later he added drain holes. Well done, I got nothing lol.

Outstanding work, I would show this to my wife but I fear she will take me to Home Depot and have me making planters😅 thanks for the video

Nice pot! I'm impressed with the jig and how smooth the pot surface was. Well done video. Very explanatory. Thanks for the tutorial!

Very relaxing to watch ! This is like the way of making large church bells. Its stronger than a terracotta clay version too. Some things came to mind... 1 You could spray sand with a fine mist of watered down PVA , or even sugar solution and let it dry. This would give the sand a firm skin. 2 You could put integral waterproofing liquid into the mixing water... to make the cement like what they use for swimming pools. This would make the concrete hold water and keep it dry inside, The cement would be more resistant then to frosty weather. 3 At that stage you could add cement colouring powder too. Perhaps to make one look like a fired terracotta clay version .Result not needing decorating painting at all. 4. Be careful with your bonsai trees. Mind the cement is very alkaline and this pH might upset their growth. 5 After painting , pour clear epoxy resin over the work. This would seal the concrete , preventing "salt blooming" and making it safe for all plant types , and give a durable vitreous glazed appearance, So we just need a white background and some blue dragons flying over a water garden ! LIke blue willow pattern china...with the birds of love and the boat... 6 Can you show me how to do a large Ming vase and a Terracotta Warrior in concrete next please ? ! Thanks again for a nice video . Graham B'Ham U.K.

thank you for the simple and to the point instructions without an hour of unneeded chatter. i don't subscribe to many, but you got me. i'm always looking for simple and cheap ways to create things. awesome job!

As previously mentioned in other people's comments, I too have been wanting to do this for years. Thank you for sharing this remarkable process and taking the time to explain it. I have saved it and hopefully be making one soon.

one of the best diy intructors that iv seen . kept every thing plain and simple . may your channel grow

Quite simply one of most enjoyable KZfaq videos I have seen in many years. The simplicity of the operation allied to the ingenuity and productivity of Sony Le is very uplifting. Well Done Sony. 👍👏

I am blown away at how little IF ANY, mess you made!! BEAUTIFUL work!!

He makes it look so easy. I can just see in my mind's eye the mess I would end up making if I tried this I think. This bowl turned out really awesome! ❤

you are a like a cement surgeon!!! would make a great dentist as your attention to detail and technique are impeccable!

And you can grow desert roses too? You’re a man of many talents. Well done!

This is the best video I have ever seen about making concrete pots! Thank you so much for posting this. Your instructions and materials used were very clear and easy to follow. Looking forward to trying this out. Thanks again! Well done!

Would cost a mint to buy 10 of those planters. Wow, beautiful work and you sat and didn't soil you clothing. I'm inspired.

So perfect. I enjoyed watching you work. The birds singing in the background was lagniappe.

Very nice work, I would make a fine mess for seven dollars and about a hundred dollars more to clean it up. Thank you for showing this video. You have great talent.

I found your video to be very interesting and an amazing idea. As an artist, I can appreciate the talent and patience to make these garden containers. Thank you so much for sharing this method. As a little old lady, I won't be making one, but I found it interesting and I always enjoy learning new things. Being creative keeps me alive.

Excellent work, Impressive on the tool you crafted to form the Pots, I like the way the planter came out. Great Job

Just Brilliant ... This is the first time I’ve seen a pot made like this, and I’m stunned! You make it look so easy and achievable for an amateur! Thank you!☺️

This is so fascinating and educational. I just found your channel and I am so glad I did, this is great and a huge money saver. I love the attention to detail you give in each one as well as the calmness of your videos. Thank you so much. Subscribed!!

Great job, so patient, and precise, not just 1 but 10, you are a master crafts man. Thank you.

I enjoy your work and the video showing how you accomplish each task involved in producing these pots. Very well done. Thank you.

Excellent craftmanship. The part near the end where you were smoothing the sides to their final shape was so satisfying to watch! Thank you for sharing your technique.

It's so incredibly generous to take the time to film and explain the process. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

this is gorgeous! also love the collection of plants

Of the many versions of concrete pot making, yours is the best I've seen. Thanks for sharing. Im definitely going to make one.

You are the first person that I’ve seen, that has recommended mortar mix. Great idea. I wish you much future success in any endeavor.

It was a pleasure watching you make this planter. You do such great, meticulous work. Well thought out and well designed. Thank you.

So beautiful!! Very creative and easy way to make the mold and side shaper. I love it 🥰

Thank you for not adding music to the video. It was very relaxing just hearing and watching you work. Beautiful huge bowls. Nice plants.

I love this. Always wanted to do something like this to make my own planters with cement. Just not enough hours in the day for me to do everything I want in this life. I started small with stepping stones but it never got off the ground. Thank you for sharing this video.

I watch a video like this and it amazes me that people have ugly things to say in the comments or even do a thumbs down when this man did a fantastic job I bet y'all can't do it so I guess that's why you did the thumbs down on it but let me tell you I'm an artist but I'm nowhere near as good as this man great job

Sony not only is your skill amazing, but you are at peace when you do your work. Thank you for sharing yourself with the world. Stay safe

Man! I was just pricing gigantic concrete pots the other day and they were so freaking expensive! Now I'm going to try to make them myself!!! Thank you!!!

I like that you're using a previous planter to hold the sand for the next one.

Your bonsai trees are beautiful and are lucky to have such quality homes. So much love and care went into these pots nicely done! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

What a blessing you are. Such a great teacher. I am very grateful!!

Fantastic, I've never seen someone make a pot before. Such beautiful craftsmanship!

Materials: $7. Labor: Priceless.

Very well done. The spinning chair is genius. For the metal frame: probably a little more money, but very accessible to those who don’t weld, look for aluminum erector materials called 80/20. Screw together and make infinite shapes and sizes.

Outstanding work Sir! No expensive tools, just a can do attitude and ingenuity.

Sony, your a true talent artist, your ideas are genius & we appreciate all the time and effort you put into helping others save money while creating their projects!

You're so talented. And I love that you tell us about the different mixtures. Thanks!

These are beautiful! It is amazing to see how easily it can be done ... I know 90% of the process is preparation and practice ... but once the skill is there it looks SO easy.

1st time watcher. Now a subscriber. 👍. I really appreciate the information given on your mixture. Most videos of this type do not. The effort that you put into this has not gone unnoticed nor unappreciated. Thank you. It was beautiful.

What a great teacher you are!! Thank you so much!! The fountain you made is incredible!! Blessings from Texas!!

Lordy, you make it look so easy!! Thanks for being clear with instructions and sharing!! Thank you!

Well, isn’t that the coolest thing I watched today. Not sure how I got here but, Kudos!!

You know that in today’s world we just go to the store and buy what we need but to see this master make something as beautiful and simple. This was a great video and thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. Thank you and may God Bless you

This is terrific. Such a clear and intelligent presentation. I am inspired! Well done

Thank you! This is ingenious! What a great video too -- no wasted words and babble! I commend you on the best How To video I've ever seen.

You are extremely talented. I wish I had the patience that you have. It was so relaxing watching your work.

Absolutely loved this video! Shows what goes into the cement planter creation! So cool!

This man has a huge turntable, a rigid smoother to create that uniform shape, and then skills with a bench scraper.... He must be a cake artist in his spare time. Love the little bonsai garden !

This is similar to the ancient way of doing it, except then it's the blade that is spinning not the table. Very inspirational. Simple yet saves so much time and labour. Great video, very clear and concise. Be well. All the best.

Mr Le you are an inspirational DIYing genius. Watching this video was so satisfying on many levels. A beautiful end product that normally costs hundreds retail. A wonderfully attainable setup for enthusiastic DIYers and how beautifully methodical and CLEAN! you kept the work process. By far one of the best Videos I've seen on KZfaq. Thank you ☺️

This is so cool! The finished product is fabulous! Thank you!!

Very informative article and very helpful for making big pots! Thank you for your very intelligent ways of doing it!

Awesome! Thanks for the tutorial! This is way better than every other DIY planter I've found!

I am doing a French drain around the foundation of my house. When finished it will be covered in tumbled rock. I was planning to buy planters of some kind to go on top of the rock to keep the dirt out of the rock. This fits the bill perfectly! I may give this a try. Great video!👍

I thoroughly enjoyed watching this. Thank you for sharing it. I never dreamed that this was possible, to make your own pots. I especially like that you put holes on the bottom for drainage. Most pots that I’ve seen don’t have those although it’s been a few years since I’ve looked around. That looked beautiful at the end.

I enjoyed your your clear and concise descriptions and demonstration. Thank you for taking time to share.

This is incredible! I was searching for various ways other people make pots, so I could make my own. I plan to make hypertufa pots, and you have given me some great ideas for it, now. I'm excited, and I appreciate your detailed video!

So satisfying to see work done with patience and precision. Thought your welded mold was clever. Thank you for sharing your process!

I did enjoy the video. The view and sounds of nature while working is splendid. Shouting out to you from Jonesboro, Georgia U.S.A.

I love this! I love making things with cement, I’m just a beginner but OHHH the possibilities! You are inspiring me thank you!!

BEAUTIFUL! thank you for sharing your gift.

Absolutely gorgeous!! Such craftsmanship….Thank you for the well explained tutorial as well…..I’m in awe of how exact this pot came out, just beautiful!!

I have the same type of mixer. Works great for everything on my mini farm , super easy to clean and doesn't tear up 5 gallon buckets.

Well, looks like I’ve got a new project to tackle. I really like these pots. Thanks for Sharing!!!

That was a great idea! ♥ You are very talented. Love your beautiful yard, too.

Thank you for taking the time and effort to share your skills - so many ideas for me. Well done Sir!

Having quite a bit of experience using concrete, I can say this is quite incredible

This is a super clever setup. My hat off to you, my good sir.
