Buddy Rhodes Concrete Products | Making a Concrete Cone Table with Buddy Rhodes - Advanced Press Technique @BuddyRhodesConcreteProducts | Uploaded June 2017 | Updated October 2024, 3 hours ago.
Watch Buddy Rhodes make a stylish concrete cone table for exterior use, using his signature finish – the press technique. The press technique is achieved by using Buddy’s Craftsman Mix with as little water as possible to create a dry, clay-like mix. When the mix is pressed into a form, a lot of voids and natural veining occur at the finished surface. These voids are then filled with Bone Paste Plus, pigmented with complementary colors. After polishing and sealing, the finished result is a beautiful piece of outdoor furniture.
The Craftsman Mix is a preblended concrete mix that can be used to create concrete countertops, concrete planters, architectural concrete elements, concrete sculptures, and so on. The consistency of the mix is especially unique, allowing you to create numerous finishes from one mix. This is a great product for DIY projects because of the ease of use, and is also a great mix for professional artisans.
