I'm so inspired to make something with concrete after watching this!

I'm obsessed with this video.
Think I'm going to go get some bowls and concrete and finally try making this lamp.

Wow, love how this turned out and you make it look so easy.

This is super cool! I'm just starting out trying to make concrete projects. I love the "floating" look that this has!

SWEET !!
Might make a few for X-mas gifts ?! 🎅

This is amazing! Love all the tutorials you do!

Tip: Usar desmoldante (aceite, vaselina, hasta Film), así reutilizas el molde.. Buen aporte! Me encantan tus trabajos!
Tip: Use release agent (oil, vaseline, also Film), and u re-use the mold .. Good contribution! I love ur work!

I made this! Super easy to make. One aesthetics issue though. It was hard to get a clean rim to the top half as the wooden blocks sit in the way.

How did you get a clean cut for the second hemisphere?

[SteveCarmichael]

Wow, that's pretty neat.  Never would have thought of using concrete for a lamp.

Hi there...does the concrete have the dust/powdery texture once finished? Does it need to be cured or quikcrete handles it all?

[toobigal]

I would hate to have to help you move. haha.

Concrete and cement are different things.

this lamp will get overheated and it might actually melt the plastic parts like cables if its left on for long time. only use led.

Funny idea like a space shuttle. But how could we add a stand/foot to make it possible anywhere it locates ? Thanks.

The concrete doesn't require any aggregate e.g Sand?

100w lamp shining like 10w one after this...

Really digging these projects, but you should possibly consider branching off into other materials. Concrete is a nice novel material for putting projects, but concrete everything is a bit drab.
