- Learn how to make an Atlas Stone. In this video I create two stones using two different types of Stone molds: Slater Stone and Hybrid Stone.
You can purchase the Slate Stone Mold here:www.slatershardware.com/slater...
You can purchase the Hybrid Stone Mold here: www.roguefitness.com/hybrid-st... - Sport
I'm never gonna make an atlas stone. But watching you do labor with that country music in the background is somehow soothing.
venktesh rao lmaooo me neither but idk why l just watched the whole video with no problem lol
What the matter with country music
Watch homesteadermvideos they provide similar stress relief. Its videos of them feedingnchickens ect with country music in background
I'm gonna make one but not 365 I couldn't lift that in my dreams

"So... Always buy the amount that you're buying." - Alan Thrall. California, 2016
Ha! I was hoping nobody noticed that.
+Alan Thrall (Untamed Strength) Oh I noticed, Alan.
I don't do strongman training (not yet maybe) but this was great to watch. I like the diversity of content on channel from the lifting tips, to the food stuff, to the DYS stuff.
Keep at it.
+PermanentHigh Really? he came up with a great video and that is what caught your attention? gtfo man
It sounds worse when you take it out from his clarification just before that like you did.
+JoshMetal316 it's called a sense of humor
Training with your own home-made atlas stone is probably the manliest thing there is
Caetano Sauer true hahaha
ROFL its gotta be the most dumbass thing Ive seen in my 30 years of training. They should just go get a job at a logging camp and pick up logs and tree stumps. At least this well put money in the pocket.
@@bbrockRailFan ha, said the guy who wastes money on model train collection.
@@vintner_ you ended his career
Apex Nate What career?
Something for you try next time if you're interested. Use rubber tires instead of the blue buckets to hold the molds. Once they're full you can stand on the tires with your feet on either side of the mold and bounce/rock all the air pockets out of the concrete so it settles out nicely. Makes for beautifully smooth finish and super strong stone. Great video Al!
Thanks for the suggestion. I've used tire before but the 365 lbs of concrete collapses the tire. Stronger tire I suppose
+Alan Thrall (Untamed Strength) ..easiest way is to build a wooden frame for the molds, nothing fancy just to stabilize the mold.Put some cloth or old bed foam in the bottom corners against rolling and done...re usable and cheap.
+Samplelord buckets seem pretty easy
Marcus Sullivan but not stable enough if you are going to leave them outside to dry...in my opinion.I also prefer to work as close to the ground as possible, to prevent any tipping...again just my opinion.
Samplelord
cool. seemed to work fine here.
Alan: "You can use a rubber mallet, I'll grab mine in a minute"
Also Alan: (proceeds to slap molds like a used car salesman)
*slaps roof of stone mold* this bad boy can fit so many air bubbles in it
I just sat for 40min watching a man make two cement balls.
I put it on double speed
I did to....and i dont want 1 or 1000 Atlas stones.....
I just se the "beard swing" in the beginning and it look so funny!!
This is not Einsteins grandchild...... thats a fact!
yep, no interest in making or lifting one of these...what am i doing with my life!
Im never doing one of these but its so entertaining to watch lol
Yep and you liked every second of it lol
Dude spends a whole day & waits 2 weeks... to make 2 heavy ass rocks... so he can lift them off the ground.
That's hardcore lol
Moving day is gonna be a bitch though!
If he hires professionals they can strap them to a handtruck. Not a big deal.
33:00 "You should probably use gloves when you do this..."
*_grabs the cement with bare hands like an animal_*
Wisdom: Fill mold while it's in a shopping cart and wheel it around on blacktop to vibrate the bubbles out.
Smart people teach me things.
Dude you can just mix the cement in the floor, here in Mexico we do it that way. Also probably a butterfly screw could secure the hybrid mold better, and they are reusable. You can pop out the air bubbles better if you hit the mold with a rubber hammer. I just wanna share those thoughts because your videos helped me a lot.
Because Mexico is the pinnacle of quality manufacturing....
@Erick Rosa You're delusional. That's like saying China makes some of the highest quality products. They don't.
@@Sisteelin It has nothing to do with countries. An expert is an expert is an expert, regardless of if he's from Mexico, China, Mars. Case in point, a novice manufacturer from Peru is still a better manufacturer than you are. An expert manufacturer from Mexico is better than a novice manufacturer in the U.S.
@@hamidchoudhary1512 There are no expert manufacturers from Mexico or Peru.
Sisteelin people will save a lot of money by doing what this kid said, and why does it matter so much if the stone people decide to make on their own is perfect or not
I love your untamed passion for duct tape
TAPE UNTAAAMED
Tape is a beutyful thing
is it important to wipe the mold with your t-shirt, or can a cloth be used?
No Yes
😂
Yes it's important
You can use your tongue
@@AS-ug2vq no. His tongue is reserved for windows
real men carve their own atlas stones with a hammer a chisel from granite.
@aghrab10 real men holds the Earth like the real Atlas did
@aghrab10 PMSL 😂🤣🤣🤣😎👍🏻🇬🇧
Do you have any idea how long that video would be!?
This dude is building his own tiny Death Stars.
What one or one of each or 2 of one
@@madbear3512 czcams.com/video/VTUrdizRZyw/video.html :)
Sorry, dude, I paid more attention to your dogs than I did you, so I'll have to watch again.
36 minutes later:
Damn! I did it again. I love the dogs, man.
@7:07 The marks are there for mating up the two halves as precisely as possible. They manufacture them as a complete sphere and hand cut them in a jig. If you look at the two raw edges of the halves you can see the slight variations. I still think the Slater makes a better seem "out of the box" but in the end it's just concrete. I like your video and your pup.
How do I put strength fibers into my muscles?
Also, cameraman didn't lift the stone.
Just mix in fiberglass
I think thats what steroids is for lol
This is by far one of the most comprehensive video tutorials ive seen in a long time.
Thanks for the unique content man
The hybrid stone would work if you used big washers and some nuts and bolts .instead of zip ties ..
The instructions say to use zip ties, you can't expect people to know the instructions are wrong and to use something else. I'm not even sure if you can fit bolts in the holes for the zip ties.
And/or drill more holes
@@zakutheferret8182 Every once in a while, we'll run into instructions that are inadequate. After seeing this, if I were making a hybrid stone, I'd put a bead of silicone or polyurethane between the halves. It'd be harder, but not impossible to seperate, but having a smooth stone would be worth it.
Exactly what I was gonna say. There are bolts that will fit basically any size holes and if not like dude said you could drill to make em bigger.
Or you could spend 1/10th of the amount of tape you spent on the second stone by reaching in the hole and sealing the cracks on the inside.
This confirms it. Alan could cut a football field with a scissor and I'd still watch it before anything else on youtube if the notification popped up.
I bet some of you got a motorized "back massager".
I have one, yeah. It's pink and has this odd round tip on it for some reason though.
Wear a mask when grinding concrete Alan, take care of your lungs
1. this post is two years old
2. stfu you safety nazi, all you do is look for opportunities to criticize people
@@snoops7942 Dude isnt being a 'safety nazi'... grinding concrete and making dust inside your garage while not wearing a respirator is just a bad idea bro. Go ahead and try it yourself.
@@snoops7942 just stfu snowflake
@@snoops7942 looking out for people is now being a nazi? Strange boy
Snoops considering that you can get third degree chemical burns from concrete, and the dust will cure in your lungs and cause said burns, it’s not a safety nazi thing
This even ain't a video about cooking, but somehow I'm still enjoying to watching it from the very beginning until finish.
Nice HD tho.
You should audition to be on Vikings
Or Game of Thrones.
Not games of thrones can't last season all ready made
Petition for Alan to shave the sides and braid his Mohawk
@@jabberwock14 He needs to shave his head get some tatts on his dome so he can look like our man Floki.
duct tape the inside of the hybrid mold at the diameter next time to make it cement tight.
One corner at a time...on a spherical stone
He said quarter
Supplies needed to make an Altas Stoned:
A dude named Atlas.
A ton a pot.
+sghost128 How about stoned in the biblical sense?
bistro4 I thought about that as well, but it seemed less amusing.
Does he really need a ton of pot? Seems excessive.
WeedAK I don't know man. It is Atlas. He holds up the fucking world.
If he can get stoned off one joint, then maybe he should find a different job.
+bistro4 the burning bush was a thing.
This would be a good situation for renting a pencil vibrator (typically used for consolidating grout in masonry walls). That would be more than adequate for getting the air pockets out of a stone and give a very good consistency and reduce honeycombing issues.
Definitely the right tool for the job. The only thing to be careful of is not over-vibrating. Many a masonry projects have been ruined by vibrating too much. Those devices are incredibly efficient and do the job quickly. It's not incredibly difficult stuff to learn though.
I came here for this comment
Or design a self compacting concrete mix
You duct taped the crap out of the Slater Stone mold, why wouldn't you duct tape around the seam of the Hybrid Stone? That would keep it from leaking out concrete and water.
Your dogs are adorable. I love this channel.
Duct tape around the middle of the hybrid mold?
on the inside...genius
Awesome vid, I had no idea how long it takes to make an atlas stone. Thanks for bringing us unique content :)
always buy the emount you are buying. yes
I always buy more than the amount I'm buying... space-time fabric broken
Will do
Alan, can you make a review of your stones years after you made it so we can see witch mold is the best?
Watching this made me miss doing concrete work. A piece of wood would probably be a great help to eliminate voids, just jab it around to help settle the concrete as you fill the mold.
Jason Lynch thats was i was thinking u enjoyed concerete i hated it
Use clamps on the first mould where there are gaps
That's like 12 clamps
Another great video. Simple, informative, effective. Appreciate your channel!
this channel is the most informative I've come across. keep up the good work Alan
Great Videos, love the comparisons you share with your experiences.
You could also add a finishing step. Sealing. Sealing the concrete helps preserve it. Keeps it from getting ashy and rough over time and also gives it that wet look.
What kind of sealer would you use ?
One of the best fitness channels on youtube, thanks Alan, greetings from Poland!
I think it would seal a hell of a lot better if you use nuts and bolts instead of zip ties for the hybrid mold
They look like mini moons. Great video.
William Turner That’s no moon.....
Never mind. I’m old.
thanks for the great video. I'm gonna be making some stones later in the year. keep the great content coming.
i love this video. so many sub optimal solutions or mistakes along the way but each one is a lesson that flawless execution would have demonstrated way less effectively.
Alan, you can get concrete that already has the fiberglass in the mix. Also, people should wear a respirator or a good filter mask when dealing with dry concrete. Thanks for the vid!
I was able to make atlas stones using hybrid molds without the equator ring. It's a little time consuming, but I used a bolt, two washers and a nut at each hole instead of using zip ties. Then, after filling the mold with cement I cleaned the lip and sealed it with gorilla tape. I've made three stones his way with great results. Cheers!
Very cool! Good job lifting the stones too!
Awesome, awesome video! Thanks! I've been thinking about making a couple of atlas stones. I think the decision has been made!
Hey Alan,
got an idea: What if you simply tape the Rouge one from the inside and add THEN the silicone spray? If that works you`ll have no cement dripping out auf the gap - even no water.
Best regards from Germany
@28:28 The nub at the top. When the concrete is still green (not fully cured after de-molding) take a brick or a large flat stone and rub it off like sanding a piece of wood. Much easier than waiting until fully cured. The same can be done on protruding seams. Also you can remove the mold after 24 hours. I wait 48 myself just because I feel like it..
I have both molds from 10 years ago . Slaters and Rob's and all my 9 stones still in great shape
thats an awesome puppy you got! very beautiful!
Awesome video Alan! makes me want to make an Atlas stone.
Love the dogs too. Pretty funny, the week breaks I swear that pitt pup grew a few pounds in each one.

Thank you for sharing this amazing video. Nice and interesting content. I enjoy watching your vlog. Keep up the good work. New friend here
Pro tip for the hybrid stone molds, zip tie all the holes to align the mold, then drill more holes in-between the existing ones to create a tighter bond. That is if you don't have the money for slater molds. Cause a 12" slater mold is 120 dollars after shipping. A 12" eBay mold (which works well) is 85 after tax and shipping.
nice tips on creating the stones they look perfect after your touch ups
I learned something new today. Thanks!
Sweet, nice work. cool lil pb pup cruising around as well haha
I need to get myself one of these tones lol
+Mario Tomic Misspell the word stones much AHAHAHA
+LurkinPT I wanna get toned bro :)
This was very interesting to watch. Thank you Alan :)
I would put duct tape inside the hybrid mold and then spray it with silicone spray, you can prob. rent a concrete vibrator from the same place you rent cement mixer if you don't wanna do the wheelborrow way. If you have a vibrator you could just dig a small hole on your backyard to place the mold and after it has cured you could just roll it out and get mold off.
Alan, you said don't give me any thing about not wearing gloves. Just google cement burn images. Serious stuff...... wet or dry it's poison on your skin.
I wish id read your comment before leaving mine. lol
Brings back memories of many a summer spent mixing stucco.
Hi Al, thanks for sharing your casting experiences. Just a thought: have you considered using inflexible grade bolts with a few graduated flat washers on each side instead of plastic cable to ties to fasten your mould with together tighter?
Very interesting video, Nice work mate
A week in the mold ? Wow! I made some once with the hybrid type mood but I took them out after 24 hrs. Then I let them sit for about 1-2 weeks and sprayed them with the hose regularly. They ended up being super strong.
truly interesting content dude, keep it up
They don't make concrete shaker cups?
I'm sort of a concrete guy and I never thought of using silicone spay as form release, thanks for the tip. If I dont have release oil, I usually use vegetable oil but its pretty runny. The hybrid stone would of held together better with washers nuts and bolts.
This is some badass stuff here.

*Struggles to tear duct tape
This was awesome, thank you!
thats really cool information Alan.
Amazing video man.
I’m gonna make one of these. Always wanted one
I love that lil white and gray pup!
this was awesome vid Allan imma make my own
great content man helped Me a lot .
please do a video on how to fix posture .
What also works good for vibration is just getting a piece of 2x4 or a stick and ram it in and out of the hole while you're pouring it. Best thing would be to have a concrete vibrator but not everyone has one of those lying around. Similarly to making the mix too wet, you have to be careful with a concrete vibrator because it will shake the stones to the bottom of the mold.
Great video Alan, when I get my own place and have enough space for a home gym, I'll be making some of these, you could make a video about how to make weighted kegs ;) and how to build platforms to lift this stones onto ;)
Crack-Resistant Quikrete (orange bag) has the fiberglass fibers already mixed in. Another option to try.
You also should say on top of the list of things you need: patience
Great job man!!!
Omg look how small she is!! Cutest puppy!!!
do you think pouring the concrete in a little at a time and shaking it will help remove more air bubbles?
thank you was curious about the hybrid molds
great vid, here in uk you can only really get the Hybrid moulds (unless anyone knows of any others??), would you use one them again or not worth it?
Also, could you tape inside the seem of the Hybrid first? Bit of a shitter to have to do that but. Might make a better stone.
I'm legit into strongman training now thanks to you
thank you Alan very creative stuff , more videos like this please when you get the opportunity , just subed i live in europe and you' re very helpful dude thnx again p.s your dogs are awesome
i really enjoyed watching this
Thanks for the video, I went out and got my cement today.
I plan on making one for my back yard gym how do I know what would be a good weight to start with?
Awesome tutorial
I've never had a problem witg hybrid. also. when you fill it to the top. put a wet towel on it. helps with the water and gives it a much rounder top. not as flat as the video's
That pit bull? Was adorable
This is awesome!
Awesome video Alan. I find this very interesting. Maybe you should listen to some of the guys saying concrete is bad for your skin though.
Hi Alan. Just made some atlas stones. Do you have a tutorial on how to make some strong loading platforms?
horse stall mats are good enough or should i get something better to drop the stones on?
