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

This is an amazingly thorough tutorial. 2 years later and still the best one out there.

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

That was a really good DIY tutorial. Very nice of those people to let you demo in their area and provide the concrete.

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!!

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

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

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! 💪

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

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 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!

Ok that's it, I'm getting myself in the concrete business and make my late grandfather proud, he worked all his life with concrete and even made a lot of art using only concrete, from statues to paintings, and he also build his house all by himself, and as an european it's all brick, mortar and concrete. Thank you soo much, been watching for about two years and even going back to watch older videos but i didn't saw this one.
Thank you Ryan, i hope one day i can send you some pictures of my grampa art, as a fellow concrete worker i know he would like that.
Good work

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

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!😊❤

[jimtiller]

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.

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

[tiffanie]

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

[jackjacker]

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

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.

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