I made this a year ago after watching your video... I could not believe how fun & easy it was to make but also how smooth it came out.
I chose to use mine as a succulent planter!
So beautiful! Thank you so much 😊

I used QUIKRETE from Home Depot. The only thing I did differently was like he said, mixed the concrete prior to pouring it in the bowl therefore alleviating the scratches. I bought a bag of large black Mexican pebbles from the garden center because I wanted less shine from the stones. It was so simple to make. Always complimented by neighbors friends and family. Love your videos. Thanks for sharing.

This is by far the nicest, cleanness, prettiest, classiest quickest DIY fire bowl. Th black stones caught my eyes. You did an amazing job and made it look so simple. Your description was right on. Thank you so much.

Killer work man. Love the final result! Incredibly smooth. Also, the palm sander tip is pretty clever.

Every single time I watch your videos Glen, I never think it can look good. The end leaves me wanting to actually do this. I genuinely love your videos Glen. Looking forward to the next one.

Nice job Glen!
If I may offer one suggestion; if you use the wire mesh over top of the flame, make sure you are not using galvanized material. The galvanizing coating breaks down and makes toxic gasses when it is heated and is dangerous inside or outside. Another way is to cut out the area around the fuel can so the mesh does not heat up. Thanks for a great project!

hi DIY CREATORS ! I just made this bowl !!! It was not with concrete for construction because I accidentally bought concrete GLUE for tiles and thats white stuf but I am so happy with my result !I did not make it for a fire pit but I always wanted to have like a nice and sweet round little waterfountain indoor at the end of my sofa which had like this open spot despite having attached plywood on each of the sides making small drinktables and also creating a decoration shelf at the edge with a LED on it to get a nice effect with some planters ( bought planters before I met ur channel here ) so I finished it off with just some transparant woodspray and it is as if I have bought it ! I work in the reptile and amphibiansector in the weekends and showed my boss and he wants to have one lol its not the diy huge frog on top of it but he really liked the concrete bowl here so I directed him to your channel and here by I had to say from him " wow this guy is just amazing, now he is using his skills and if he is clever he d make a business out of this, tell him to stop revealing how to make all of that and to start a business " well I just quoted my boss here and always do what the boss says right ? anyways he didnt find he has the time to make this himself so I just got extra days off ! haha ! thaaaank :D ps can I send u some pics and would u please say what i have to improve ???? perhaps a suggestion on paints or anything at all ???

Dear Mr. Glenn Sir, wow, I cannot believe how much I enjoyed your video on the Fire Bowl. Thanks again, Blessings, pierre from New Mexico.

My daughter wants to incorporate a fire pit on every table for her wedding reception, so she sent this to me because it's the best design she's seen. I subscribed months ago when I used your table saw fence design to build mine, so imagine my surprise when I heard your voice narrating this video. Here I was thinking that you only did woodworking. Great design for a fire pit

[parnell]

You're my new internet addiction. Love your projects -- and your videos are really well-made. Thanks, keep up the beautiful work! Subscribed!

[FizZ]

I'm a 25 year old female who works in i.t. and I've never been so inspired by concrete! new sub! lol

[SewlovelyApril]

I absolutely love this...subscribing and I'm headed to binge watch your videos.

[janetbutler]

Wow I love this. And thank you for actually using concrete like it said in the title. Most demos I've looked at are using cement and calling it concrete. Fab work.

[MichaelOlsen-Engineer]

Beautiful job and a great weekend project. I love it. The "scratches" add a marbled look the glassy concrete finish.

[johnstone]

Dude I bet you were stoked to find that beautiful finish when you pulled off that last bowl. Man you for mad skills brother.

[Blillian]

You do such awesome designs! You deserve 1, 000, 000 subs!

[diamondhair]

I have to say your instructions are some of the best that I've come across. I found one other persons that I like, also (she used a terra cotta pot). Your cement turned out the best....Very smooth. I think I'm going to make one for my patio.... Thank you.

Glenn, that bowl is gorgeous! I was looking for a simple way to make a concrete/stone fire pit for my back yard/porch and this video got me thinking of other ideas and it was so simply done! I'm new to this channel but I can't wait to see more! Great stuff! Thank you!

[VMR]

I LOVE how shiny it came out!!! It looks like marble. Awesome job!!!
