Hi Rachel, not sure If I know exactly what type of table you are looking to make. Could you post a picture so I can get a better idea? Cheers!

Hey Trevor! Here is the workbench that I make many of the concrete projects on: https://www.diypete.com/diy-rolling-work-bench-plans/ – it doesn’t have an electronic concrete vibrator on it. I do have one, but haven’t done a video on it. Cheers!

Does anybody have plans for a concrete shaker table that they could share? I am not as much interested in using an electronic concrete vibrator, but I like the style of the one that Pete uses for his projects.

Thanks Jennifer. I used 1/2″ plywood as base, painted it grey and secured the flanges to it.

This table looks great with pipes. How did you secure pipes to concrete table?

Thanks for your great instructions. I recently removed my concrete table top from the mold and there are a number of bug holes (see attached photo), especially along the border. I actually like the way it looks with the holes so rather than filling them in, I sanded it down and it’s quite smooth. The top (made by a reverse cast technique) has a very smooth texture which is different than the sides which are a bit more rough and have an exposed slurry appearance. Again, I like the contrast.

My question is whether it is ok to seal the top/sides without filling in the bug holes? Will it seal properly? Any recs on particular sealers to be used that will NOT add a glossy finish? I didn’t stain like the natural look of the concrete, though if it darkened a little with the sealer I’d be ok with that.

This is my first project and I owe it to you for making such great step-wise instructions. Thanks again!

–Matt
