SANDING The CONCRETE counter top

We are SANDING the concrete counter top! It is a little messy but it is SO worth it. They are a diamond in the rough before you sand them. I hope you get to make your own counter tops!

In May of 2015 we moved back to New Hampshire, to where we are going to reclaim our 8.5 acres, and turn it into our modern homestead. We built the house the first summer. Now we invite you along in our journey of reclaiming the land, bringing livestock back on the land, gardening, permaculture, and all of our out of the box thinking DIY projects. We are excited to document the process of bringing the land back to its natural functioning beauty, using animals, and organic techniques to help heal it and thrive.

Your determination to make it perfect is so commendable. You never quit no matter how challenging or time consuming‼️

Man! You are CRAZY handy with tools!!! I watch quite a few different channels...each one leads me to another one... I usually get something from each channel, whether it be gardening know-how, meat processing know-how, pasture management know-how, and YOU inspire me to not be afraid to tackle projects and BUILD what i want!!!! We have already been tossing around the idea to build cabin from a kit..

Have really enjoyed your progress on this island....you have done a great job.  Can't wait to see the finish on the concrete top.

Love the look. I do like the dry look. Looks like stone. Great job Al. Can not wait to see the finish product.

I admire your tenacity in tackling this massive project.I found your video production less than it could have been. The background music over rode your voice and I had to keep turning the volume up and down to avoid the incessant sanding noise. Hope that helps for future videos. We enjoy your channel and your resourcefulness.

I’m so glad I seen this, I redid my countertops not knowing wtf I was doing and was told I messed up because I used concrete with rocks, mine looks just like yours so I’m about to sand it!

[williamblakeley]

AWSOME TABLE it will last a long time nice AL 👍👍

[LaurelCanyonMojo]

the music level makes this impossible to hear you over

[toddsarnstrom]

I've used mineral oil on concrete kitchen counter because it is food safe. As long as you get a pure tune oil I would think it would be food safe, mineral is so easy to get hands on and cheap.

[jimf]

Wow, have your videos ever gotten better! Hard to believe it's the same channel.

Great video series on concrete countertops. Personally, I rather do butcher block countertops but it does look good.

[OFFGRIDGEORGE]

love it 👍
I really like the wet look. I guess I'll have to wait till next week to found out what sealer you decide to use :)

[deblawson]

I really enjoy watching your the back ground music is WAY TO LOUD for us old farts that have hearing problems it makes it VERY hard to hear you, PLEASE turn the music down or off. Other wise GREAT JOB I like what your doing and the counter top is just lovely!!!! Thanks Bunches. God Bless You and Yours.

[MonteTurner]

That looks great! Did your wife and daughter like move out while you did all that sanding. My wife would have!!

[poepflater]

for a water source, just fill your bucket and drill a tiny hole near the bottom

[jelomaxjoiner]

you should have used a release agent on your forms before pouring concrete . you would have
got a better finish,

[yamahawins]

I would have just hung plastic around the island from the ceiling to the floor. basically boxing in the island as a work area.

should have used a concrete edging tool from HD for 5-10 dollars
