Not all teachers can do concrete. Not all people that do concrete can teach. You sir, can do both and are very good at it. Thank you for the instruction.

That was the best video on concrete finishing and steps I ever saw... MY HAT IS OFF TO YOU,,,,,

Sir, not only did you hold my hand through this process, you held my heart and my very soul too. THANK YOU KINDLY

I'll be expecting you to start my front steps on Monday. You do excellent work, you're hired.

The edging tips are priceless, thanks for helping DIY concrete finishers do a decent job :)

I am a trainer, been training for 18 years or so. What a great instructional video. You have a great way of explaining what your doing in a real easy to follow flow! Great video!!

Man, the level of craftmanship you have just with something like concrete. Very impressive. Super interesting video.

That was a very thorough demonstration of concrete step building. Thank you Sir.

Glad you are finding ways to keep the content coming and not having to spend weeks away from your family to do it (tour)

I’m jealous of that block of cement with such a perfect set of stairs attached to it. Great job! It’s beautiful!

Thank you.Honestly, I've been working in construction all my life. but I didn't know this technique yet. because this is not my job. Now I can do this myself. Thank you very much for this good lesson.

Ryan... that's 100% the right way to finish steps using the rite step tools...I see other guys on KZfaq only using an edger and broom ...not using any kind of step tools...nice job..

I hope you continue to do these training videos. You’re a great teacher! I will be putting in a walkway to my pool from my driveway in the spring. I may use bag concrete because I will be solo. As a diy’er, I look forward to your future instructional videos. God bless!

I would enjoy watching more concrete classes from you just like this one. Your work is to notch in my book.

N i c e! I enjoyed your video, and planning to form, pour, and finish my first stoop! (My dad was a master cement finisher. As one of 5 daughters, I learned how to finish flatwork early in life.)

I’ve wanted a video like this for so long. Thanks Ryan!

Finishing my first pad of concrete tomorrow with the help of 2 of my brothers. Not one of us has done concrete before. I have been entertained and learning on this channel for over a year now. Enjoy the content, it’s funny and I pay attention to what you guys are doing. Finishing Concrete intrigues me. After this video and a years worth of watching you guys knock it out of the park, I think I’m ready! Not to compare myself to you guys at all but hey gotta have confidence. They said it could not be done, until someone did it!

Theses are the exact type of videos I feel like your channel would grow tremendously from. Just teaching all the stuff you've learned over the years has already given me so many more tips, That I for sure will be using once the off season is over. I've gotta feeling this video will blow up in views because of how in depth you explain everything even a child could understand. Would definitely love to see more videos like this in the future! And just a random question, have you ever done brick or block work? That's mainly all my company does, but we do concrete here and there.

That was a seriously detailed video my man. I'm pretty sure I could now set up the steps that I want to build.

The best content on this subject I have ever seen on KZfaq. You are a great teacher. Thank you

Ryan, what a great video, thank you so much for sharing your trade secrets. That just shows what a upstanding guy you really are. God Bless you and your family.

Best concrete how to video on KZfaq period, but I wouldn’t expect it any other way coming from Victory . Your success comes from being a great teacher, as well as having a very strong work ethic. Appreciate your videos. Jeff, Affordable Tree,Hardscape Solutions. Sacramento, Ca.

More of this. You are a natural born teacher that's for sure. Thanks for the tips.

I like that he gets in close and really shows the details, most videos just show a general overview that leaves you with questions. I really feel like I can do this now! Thank you! 💪

Man I have done so many set s of steps in my day ,,,from 3 ft wide to 30 ft wide ,,,,with and without cheeks !! Use to dream about pouring steps !!! And always had a 5 gallon bucket of a dry mix of fine sand and cement just in case when you strip the step forms and there are voids ,,,,mix up alittle mud and fill in the voids !! Works out well on a hot day when the concrete is drying fast and you cant scrap any grout off of the trend to fill them !!

This video will have a million views before not too long! People will flock to watch this for all the DIYers. Great video Ryan! Quality time well spent to share your knowledge. Thanks.

You give people confidence with how detailed your instructions are. RESPECT! Keep pumping out these types of vids and you’ll be a ⭐️!! 🤙🏾

Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

Very underrated video.

Wow, from the forms to the finishing. That's insane, how much go's into two little concrete steps. Very informative video.

Very kind of you to take the time and post, thank you. Also thanks to the concrete company for donating the concrete.

Beautifully done. I need 3 steps, 5 feet wide for my front stoop. I have been practicing with a few other concrete projects to get ready for the stairs. Your tutorial gave me the confidence to do it. From starting with proper frame building to concrete finishing. I definitely need a few more tools, to do a perfect job. You're a great teacher!😊❤

I’ve wanted a video like this for so long, even i am no t concrete guy professional . Thanks Ryan!

Thank you for the demonstration. Looks great. You do good work Ryan!! Look forward to the next video.

Thank you for the extra effort! You chose to do extra work just to educate others. Great character right there!

Good to see the free concrete. The demolition and clean up is where they got you....lol I always disliked steps, lot of work in them to get them right. The finish you have is different to what I adopted from my step dad, more with the brooming and edging. After running the broom over it, we'd use a 3 inch edger to run around the boarders. As my step dad use to say, it gave it the artistic creative touch to the finish. Thanks for sharing, love watching your videos, part I'm learning more, is the difference in what you call your tools in the US, compared to here in Australia.

I love it. Been waiing for these even tho I'm kinda a expert at forming and setting steps, landing, cantelevers I use the stamp liners on everything

Hey Ryan! Greetings from Norway! I just wanted to add in that for steps it's really nice if you cut a 45 degree on the bottom of 2x8 so you can run your float all the way in on the face of the step for correct elevation. It is very nice seeing you guys work as a team and it is very different as I work with bridges and 10-floor buildings. Love your work! Keep it up!

I can now say I got drunk watching the pour and finishing of stairs, bravo!

LOL, you truly enjoyed that small project. No goals to achieve for customer's satisfaction, only yours!...and a great tutorial! Very well done!

Ryan, you are most certainly a master of your trade! Great video for those of us with little to no knowledge of what is required to do concrete work. Ty.

My wife is now saying " how much garbage do we make " and she doesn't even watch your vids much...I on the other hand have Been subbed almost since day 1...keep on doing what you do

Details, details,details, really informative provides types of tools needed to achieve desired results. Great for the diy individual needing to complete this task.

Ive said it b4 but I'll say it again. Over here in the UK you would be called a Master Craftsman. In my eyes thats what you are buddy. Absolutely brilliant man. Rob

The only problem I had with this project is the door is way to small for me. Steps where perfect. You do a great job and might have a calling for concrete work.

Awesome, respect man for sharing your knowledge. I've always worked on the mechanical side - cars, machine shops, etc - but am getting into the construction trades type stuff just for DIY/hobby and like to really learn the whys and not just the hows when I dive into something so knowledge like this is invaluable IMO. Thank you! Riv/Crete as well for opening your doors and again sharing your knowledge. As a SE WI lifer as well, you're all doing us proud!

Watching you get that concrete settled in and smooth is quite satisfying. Thanks for your video.

Thank you so much for such an incredibly detailed and easy to understand video on this! I haven't done any concrete work, but I am CONFIDENT I can build the steps I need. Super appreciate you!

Good vid Ryan like always. I just want to add one thing. If anyone is thinking about pouring a set of steps and lives where there's freeze/thaw cycles, a footing at the bottom step might be a good idea. A little rebar might help too.

Man Ryan , you have really been missing concrete work , thank you sir , very cool to see how it’s done by a professional !! Be safe and can’t wait for the Victory Tour !!

This is an amazing video! I’m a visual learner and you really stepped through the process perfectly! Thank you!!!

Managed to binge your Channel start to finish in just a month. Then continued to go through easy E and Ryan juniors channels too. Love your work Ryan amazing to see how far you have done and what you have done for your crew.

Never really knew how much detail work there is to concrete. You make great videos. Easy to always watch the entire video. Good work Also. I'm curious why you aren't doing any more jobs since the weather doesn't seem so bad. Were you expecting it to be snowing already?

Hey Ryan, can you answer a question for me? I’m from Texas but live in Pennsylvania now, why do concrete trucks have the mixer reversed up north? In Texas, and most of the south, they have the concrete come out of the back, where up here it comes out of the front of truck. Love the channel, hope you continue to find success!

You actually love your work and that’s what made me subscribe and watch every video of yours. 🙂 People create the content by recording only the stuff they do but you, you invest into it! Thank you for sharing the great learnings! Even though am not into concrete but this is very informative, directly from the first hand experience. I’m lovin it!

Thank You Ryan! When I was from like 11 to 16 I use to do Concrete Projects with my Grandfather at his house and his friends houses during the Summer. Also used to do Electrical with my Brother on new Houses. Brings back great Memories.

People will be kicking themselves in few weeks if they miss the opportunity to buy and invest in Crypto as it's retracing....

Nothing like watching a good pro at work. Nice job! Thank you.

Man you are truely inspiring! I did concrete construction for a large firm in Memphis for a few years while finishing my teaching degree at night. Been teaching 10 years now and never thought I would miss it,but watching your videos takes me back in time. It is so refreshing to see such hard working group of guys doing things the right way and being successful. Enjoy the off season! Give Darrell a hug from his #1 fan. Php 4:13 Alex Mashburn

Excellent tutorial! Easy to understand, straightforward, and covered all the little details! I'm ready to attempt a project like this and put my new ryobi concrete mixer to work!

When I saw that front loader removing the blocks I was like oops. lol. Thanks for sharing Ryan. I learned something today sir.

These are the smoothest steps I've ever seen. Hands down. Greetings from Holland.

Such a well thought out and relaxed tutorial. Steps look amazing. Trying to pluck up the courage to undertake my first concrete project! Much love from the UK.

I understand what your doing to help people but as a long time ready mix driver I’ve seen it ALL Encouraging diy ers ties up trucks for pros like you When everything blows out and floats up then they look to the driver and ask what now ? We usually say “truck detention charges “ lol Cheers from Nova Scotia A

Great job! Thanks for this posting. I've worked with concrete for 20 years, or so. I've do big jobs and small ones and I must say that your demonstration is SPOT ON. I have been following you for a hot minute and suffice to say... your spot on. For those who aspire to do concrete placement and finishing...you broke down the basics and added confidence to the mix! Appreciations from Connecticut! Keep it going.

Excellent video!! No shortcuts, taking the time to explain everything you're doing. Very well done demonstration

I always use my sds to vibrate the forms. Works great. Really fills in the voids

Grand Prize, Best In: Visualizations, thought organizations, calculation, construction, technique / tips and tricks, tool kit. And especially not letting us professional DIYers do our own thinking. Thanks for verbalizing all of your thoughts. Organizing my mind to do my front porch with step down.

Let me tell you that I’m ready thanks this awesome video. Thank you so much for being such a wonderful and passionate teacher. Love when you said “has to be perfect” this makes the difference on the work you do! Thanks again.

Pouring concrete is a dance. Not only does the batch you get from the company vary, the weather can introduce even more variables to how quickly you have to finish it. Its definitely an art and I appreciate the men who do this work.

Bro, the amount of help this video gives is crazy awesome!!! Super simple and looks easy, can’t wait to give this method a go this weekend and see how it goes !!! Great work!🏆🔥

Man, you are awesome at explaining things! I’m an interior systems carpenter getting ready to knock out some concrete stairs and after watching your video, I feel extremely confident. They may not end up looking like yours but if I follow your steps, they should turn out pretty nice. New subscriber! 👍

As a diy novice dealing with concrete can be intimidating, but just like another sub posted. you make it look easy, But simple to understand while gaining courage to start a small project . Thank you for the effort of taking the time under the circumstances, much appreciated. Excellent work bro.

I'll give it a DIY go. Thank you for all the up close views & info. The proper tools is the biggest help.

I’ve been looking for a good stair video for over a week. This one is absolutely everything I was looking for. Thanks for the great content! Blessings from Idaho.

I’m not a concrete worker but for some reason i really enjoy sitting back with a cup of coffee and watching your videos. Maybe sometime i’ll work up the courage to do some concrete work. Thanks for the great videos and the knowledge you share.

This was so good. I appreciate the extra efforts you put in to show us how to do things. Respect.

I'm speechless - that was beautifully put together! Thank you from the 🇬🇧

That was an amazing demonstration; I learned a great deal more than I thought that I would have. Thank you! I have a small job exactly like what you just Demonstrated.

Very enjoyable, you should do more like this Ryan, laying out the string lines and getting the proper elevation.

By far the best video you’ve put out. And that’s saying a lot because I love your videos. Learned a ton. Thanks

Just started watching your channel Ryan. Subbed after less than 24 hours. Love seeing the comradery and respect you have with your crew. I work in sanitation far from home here in Guam and watching you boys makes me miss the trades back in the states. Gotta grind to shine! Keep up the good work and God bless!

Great video! I've got to attempt to refinish an indoor staircase and it was really helpful to watch 👍🏻

GREAT video. The best I've seen. Thanks. Also, thanks to the gentlemen that donated the concrete.

Awesome video & detail work , going to pour 3 steps next week ! This video is going to help out a lot . Thx again ! 👍⚾️

Well this is the video that gave me the confidence to pour my own steps! Thank you because they look amazing! You sir have a gift of teaching!

I was actually a little worried when they were coming over and taking the blocks away with the loader, but seen there were a couple rows before they got to u and ur demonstration great job they turned out beautiful ,you also have a way of explaining how everything goes, u make it look like easy money!!. But I truly know from experience that concrete work is pretty demanding on ur body especially knees, I did poured foundations and flat work back in the 80's in my 20's and then went into stone Masonry until 2015 and just couldn't do it no longer with back and knee problems, so take my advice and protect ur knees and back and take care of yourself and you are truly blessed with the talent of finishing Crete, long may ur mag keep floating!!!

Thank you for this video I learned a lot. You're a true perfectionist.

When you thought they would take away those blocks it was so funny😂 Thanks for the tutorial!

Fantastic video. If I was the customer, I’d be far beyond pleased with those steps.

This is the very best video of an explanation i have ever seen. You are the good one to explain, nice and clear.

My name is Albert and I'm very happy with what i learn here today thank you and will look for more thank you.

Thank you for the instruction and making it look easy. I am getting ready to pour an 8x12 shed and a/c pad. The spring it'll be a new driveway and sidewalk around the house to a new small patio at the base of a deck. I can only hope my work looks half as good as yours. Easy money!

Good idea on this one. Very damn good. It’s all the simple things people forget about. Since some get overwhelmed by the bigger details like forming,grading and troweling and striking off. The smaller more detailed steps get either overlooked and straight up forgot about. I would like to see a more detailed grading on a smaller scale. Digging off the top soil and even on like a patio tht is high on all 4 sides with a drain in the middle. Maybe only cause tht is about what I’m doing right now. Grading and laying down (C-6) for base. My thinking is let it sit and settle over winter. Pour come spring.

I appreciate this a lot. I'm a finisher and I know how to finish steps and cantilever steps. I know what he is talking about when more experience finisher get on the steps. I was lucky to work with guys that allowed me to work on them starting out.

Always a blessing Ryan. Blessings Robert.

Great video...1st time laying a couple of steps in front of my new man door. Thanks for the straight forward info and details!

Thank You. I never knew how to form concrete stairs. Come spring time i'm going to copy what you showed on your video on my home outdoor stairs..simple n easy..

Loved the tutorial. I will save it and go over it again in the spring when I get ready to pour my small patio and steps.

Thank you man. Please do some more of these videos. Helped me out as a home owner
