Making a Outdoor Concrete Gas Fire Table

UPDATE: See what the table looks like 2 Years later and what needed to be done. https://youtu.be/tno5ig-zT9Y I wanted to try making a concrete counter top and I wanted a gas fire table for the backyard, so I decided to combine the two ideas. If you want detailed instructions on how to pour a concrete counter top watch this video, It's great and what I followed to make mine. https://youtu.be/T7mYB6x68DY Bookmarks: Step 1: Building the Mold: 0:00 Pouring: 2:30 Removing the mold: 6:00 Step 2: Building the burner cover: 7:12 Step 3: Building the Base: 10:11 Step 4: Finishing he surfaces: 15:36 Reveal: 18:55 Products used: The concrete that was used is Rapid Set Mortar Mix for Home Depot https://www.homedepot.ca/product/rapid-set-55-lb-mortar-mix/1000779604 The additive was Rapid Set Flow control form Home Depot, It's needed to turn the mix into liquid for pouring https://www.homedepot.ca/product/rapid-set-flow-control-60-g/1000778569 Wood used us Cedar deck boards The burner was found at a discount auction but search for "Fire Table Insert" and you should be able to find something near you. For example https://www.homedepot.ca/product/paramount-paramount-round-convertible-burner-black-pan/1001534127 Notes: Music from www.Bensound.com A few things I didn't film in the build process: One was filing the edges of the mold with silicon, you can see just before I pour the concrete all the corners of the mold are black, that's the silicon. The other is placing rebar in the concrete. There is one 2 foot long piece in the middle of each side. I'm not sure if the rebar was needed but decided to add it due to the hole in the middle. I actually almost forgot to add it and when I remembered the mix was starting to firm up so it was a bit of work to get them in, this is why the surface is smooth after pouring and when it is shown curing it's not as smooth :) Also I forgot to vibrate the mold after pouring to remove air bubbles so there were quite a few very small ones, but the grout filled in any of them and it adds to the overall texture quite nice.
