Yes friends, 1 to a greater extent than wonderful workshop happening this Thursday, June 15 @ 6:30 pm at your local Home Depot: Learn how to construct a concrete serving tray. Register right HERE.
In the hateful time, a grouping of bloggers got together to practice a like version of the concrete tray, inwards hopes of give you lot ideas for your ain project. At the goal of this post you'll detect the link to the other trays my friends convey built.
First, permit me nation you lot close my project, because I actually honey it! It was my outset fourth dimension working alongside concrete as well as it was fast as well as easy. I decided to lessen the mutual depression temperature constituent the concrete gives past times adding pieces of forest for an overall industrial look.
The most of import stair for edifice your ain concrete tray is creating the tray form.
The materials I used to practice the form:
- 1- 22" x 14" x ½" Plywood
- 1- 1" x 2" x 8'
- 1- ½" one-half circular x 5'
- 12 - 1¼" forest screws
- ¾" brad nails.
The materials I used to practice the concrete tray:
- Wooden Form
- Rapid Set Concrete
- 2 Door pulls
- 2- 1" x 3" x 14" pino material
- 2- ½" x 2" x 14" poplar material
- 4- Flat caput Phillips screws ¼in. - xx x 2½in.
- 4- ¼in - xx tpi Zinc plated cap nut.
- Crazy glue
- 1- ½" one-half circular x 5'
- Mixing pail
- paint stick for mixing concrete
- spray cooking oil
Tools:
- Circular saw
- Miter saw
- Drill
- Brad Nailer
- Tape measure, square,
- Sanding block
- Trowel
- Countersink bit
- ¼" carbide drill bit
DIRECTIONS:
Mark the expanse for the 1" x 3" fabric on both ends of the slice of plywood. Then, depict 45-degree lines every 4" inwards the mid role of the plywood.
Cut the one-half circular fabric to encompass the 45-degree lines. Set them inwards identify alongside the pneumatic nailer.
Use 1¼" forest screws to install the 1" x 2" pino fabric all merely about the plywood, to consummate the form.
The most of import thing when you lot are develop to locomote alongside concrete is having everything ready!
Follow the manufacturer's directions as well as mensurate extra quantities of what you lot intend you lot mightiness need.
As the cite implies, it's a rapid laid mix, close 10 min. to harden.
* earlier pouring the concrete into the form, I sprayed it alongside cooking crude oil to foreclose both materials from sticking up. *
I wanted to locomote extra certain the concrete was good laid as well as waited 24 hours to drill the holes for the handles. I used a 1/4" carbide drill bit
Drill holes into the wooden pieces too. Then, it's a thing of sandwiching the concrete inwards betwixt the 2 pieces of forest on each side, transcend the screws thru the iii layers, top them off alongside the handles, as well as securing them alongside the cap nuts.
The in conclusion stair is to cutting novel pieces of one-half circular fabric as well as gum them inwards place.
Those handles are strong! as well as I honey the prissy finishing impact the cap nuts give to the tray.
I intend the improver of the forest warms upwardly the apartment concrete surface.
This is a rigid tray that's going to serve me then good for a long time!
It's straight off YOUR plough to practice a
