Fire table project
« on: October 08, 2016, 06:21:17 PM »
We decided we wanted a propane fire table for the deck. Started looking on line and found nothing but junk unless you spend some bank$$$
Decided to DIY. Ordering a complete burner kit with 12" burner, hoses, regulator and gas control valve. Table is clear cedar, and top will be poured concrete. Made form out of melamine.  Fire bowl will be a 16" heavy duty stainless mixing bowl and filled with glass. Just got started this morning.

Pulled the mold this morning. Looks like I didn't vibrate one area enough, so got a few bubble. Oh well, we'll just call it character ;)

Needs to cure for a few more days and I can use the grinder to clean up the bottom edges.

Did you do it upside down or right-side up?

Looks nice.

Upside down, so what was touching the melamine is the top. I used an orbital sander to vibrate the mold..

Mix up a slurry of pure concrete to fill in the holes.

X2.  Had to do this on the counter tops that I did and couldn't even tell when completed.

I was thinking about that. My only concern is that the concrete had dye mixed in, and it may not quite match.   

Whipped up a table to hide the propane tank this morning. Oh, and when you say to yourself "I should probably get help to lift this thing", Listen!

As long as you get it close it should blend in. If your going to polish the concrete smoother than what you have now . You will actually be cutting a thin layer of concrete off , which inturn might allow more " bug holes " to show up.

I think it will look OK. I put some mix through a strainer to get rid of the gravel, mixed it with some dye/ water, and so far, so good.
I'm OK with pin holes, but these were a little too big. I don't mind the holes on the edges.
