In reply to Kathryn Weber. No. The concrete was thick enough that it stuck to the mold and held there. It took a little trial and error, but it actually worked beautifully!

In reply to Addicted 2 DIY. I don't understand how you poured it all at once with the mold as shown... Was there an internal box of some kind?

Hi Katie, really like your concrete mould project!!

I recently made a window surround with wood shelf. The surround I had to make a mould and gradually fill up with plaster. Very happy with my first mould!!

I agree, you have to just go and try something and the reward is the learning experience and not the perfection. That will come with practice.

I am now going to make a faux marble fireplace. Start with carpentry mould then pour concrete, then fettle off later. Then I can plater using Venetian/polished plater technique.

I would post the pics on here but cannot upload.

All the best with your future projects,

Regards

One great idea here Katie. Instead of buying expensive corner tables, this DIY project works fine.

Some people just cut concrete parts and shape them the way they want. Of course those needs proper equipment and some companies do those.

In reply to bryan flake. I'm no driveway expert, so I'd hesitate to give you any advice. Most are framed with 2x4s though:)
