This time, we are making the invisible concrete sink that went viral when Kim Kardashian gave a tour of her home. Everyone went nuts because it appeared as if the counter with the sink was completely flat with no basin. To make this sink, we’ll create a concrete form with a stretch fabric and a slight slope to a slot drain. Now the question is, will it actually function as a sink? Watch to find out :)

I think the guard snapping back was fast enough to prevent a bad injury. Great example of why safety devices are on stuff like this.
The only thing that I would prefer is for it to be a dark color that way, the drainage holes would be even more discreet or, in other words, they too would seem invisible. However, all in all, it is an awesome sink! 🤙🏼🙂🤙🏼❤️
what a waste of time. just grind and polish a peice of stone or granite. and it would probably be way cheaper. and be beter material. also people that watch kim kardashian are idiots and one of the many things wrong with society
For the ad demo you could have put a bit more effort into it by simply having one of the crew call you instead of having a random screen pulled up that everyone watching can see clearly
Why not just use a piece of wood you shape as a stamp, that way you can just modify your epoxy mix etc as it dries
For some people $30k is life changing, problem solving, and liberating. For some people it's a bathroom sink.
I suppose it's good rich people waste their money on dumb stuff like that. Otherwise they'd end up hoarding even more of the wealth.
@@atnfnyeah that's a good way to think of it, this puts money back into working class, while they could've been spending it on yet more real estate.
Rich people keep the working man paid!
$30k is about 10 million in my currency
@@ChainsawFPV Funny, there's more rich people than ever, and yet working people are barely surviving.
Trickle down doesn't do shit.
That saw incident was terrifying. im glad he wasnt hurt.
I screamed. Rewatchin... Yeah a barely working spring-action blade cover should have...enclosed the blade yeah tho... It's been quite a moment even for us watching. God bless!...
well also most youtubers would have cut that because of how it happened, there's to appreciate his honesty also. Not scared to appear unprepared about safety, instead he gives us a content which is good for stoners lol stoneworkers, metal fabricators as for electricians or woodworkers: Stay focused, stay safe.
I'm thinking this attitude is not to give for discounted at all, kudos to him!
On a job I was cutting the furnace fence in a hard wood floor. The saw was cordless and I was plunge cutting. The saw blad grabbed something and then the saw jumped up and then slammed back down to the floor. The saw jumped high enough that I could have cut my leg.( That is what I thought was going to happen in the video.) When the saw hit the floor the plastic blade guard shattered and the blade plunged to fold depth into the floor right next to me.
New top tier tools need the same respect as old tools. When using any tool always respect any and all safety zones. When using a saw always assume that the blade will become exposed and not where you want it to be.
The only advice that I would give is relax and let your body protect itself. Nothing that you are working on is worth more than you are. Always check a tool after an accident to make sure that it is still safe. Like a table saw fence that might have gotten hit and thrown across the shop and the blade. Make sure that the blade is still sharp; about 20% of accidents happen on a dull blade. Make sure that the blade is not bent. Just remember that everyone is using a dull blade. If you can't shave hair off your arm by dragging it across your arm then it is dull. If you are struggling with a cut change the blade. If you don't then you are just saying that your hand is not worth the $100 for a top tier blade. Enjoy yourself and if you don't feel comfortable with something turn the tool off immediately. Everyone that I know that has none fingers didn't feel safe when they still had ten.
The spring loaded cover that goes over the blade saved his bits! Glad no one's hurt and it can serve as a learning experience to everyone else.
I skipped around the video... I didn't saw it... at what time?
Was Kim's sink definitely concrete? I can absolutely see the $30k price tag being justifiable if it was a flat slab of stone e.g quartz/marble and then the slope gradually cut and ground out instead.
I fully agree. Even if not, 8 prototypes - can't imagine they were for free...
Hers definitely looks like it's made of stone. Not of concrete.
its definitely concrete. Check out my master bathroom sink, exact same finish on concrete
For people like her it's like, "It's nice, but could you make it just a tiny bit deeper?" "No, not that much. It doesn't look flat any more." "That's good but the bowl could be larger." "That's perfect but this stone is not the right color."
I'd bet money that it's not concrete.
At the beginning of the month, I attended my niece's wedding at a venue with an unusual bathroom sink-a flat, slightly slanted design. It's functional as long as you don't splash water or have a high-pressure faucet, but I found it inconvenient. As someone who shaves, this artistic design just doesn't work well for cleaning a razor blade.
Yeah, i think the ones kardashian had was more for fruits etc only. Not even washing dishes
The sink works as long as you dont use it.
@@Mangolite agree, one way to make it functional and stylish would be to have a more traditional looking sink, but with the bottom that can rise up at level with the top slab. Much more complicated to build, but not excessively.
I use my bathroom sink for hand washing and soaking some things as I do not have a laundry sink. I also wash my brushes and combs in it. Have also used bathroom sinks as baby bath tubs.
So not practical for real people in real homes. It you live somewhere with a dozen bathrooms and servants it could work.
This sink is a water waster
In a past life, i worked with rich people before, some of them would ask you to make stuff over and over again because of it not fitting their vision. Them having to do it 8 times to get it "perfect" I can see that. That cost is rolled into the price.
what happens to the rejected designs?
I know somebody who had designed and built her own house multiple times. When it came to the dream home, she had a vision of a double curved staircase in a gone with the wind kind of feel.
They built it five times if I remember correctly. And finally she just took a day stayed there and they built it together. I will say it's one of the coolest staircases I've ever seen. Is the weirdest part was that somebody saw the house under construction came in and bought it from her before she even finished the bathrooms. Money talks sometimes
Its like dealing with your wife and rearranging the furniture but peeps with the money change the building.

Props to Chris for showing his almost lost finger adventure. My heart leapt out of my chest for a second, 25 year artisan tile guy, i've seen many injuries and that was crazy close. When I was a kid I watched my old man lop a finger tip off with a table router. It's instantaneous. People in general give little to no respect for how incredibly dangerous carpentry/construction really is and how mindful and skilled the laborers really are.
I went to college for welding and worked 2 years in different warehouses. My dad was also a construction worker so I saw a few sites growing up. I learned young that basically all physical jobs tend to have some percentage chance of losing a finger or even a hand really too easy even knowing what not to do. The last warehouse I worked at had a guy lose his foot because one of the bigger projects we were trying to move out dropped directly on it. I wasn't one of the ones helping the move, but I heard the scream. We built curbs(the things that help control air flow for air conditioners on buildings) that ranged from super small units to some that would take up the whole warehouse space. I never saw the blueprints for the big projects, but I know I was handling the small projects that could weigh up to about 250-300 pounds that even I back then(29yo f) could lift and move them around. I don't actually know if he lost the foot, but I hope he didnt. We had to wear steel toed boots so hopefully that saved his foot.
One thing I learned from this: the Kardashians never wash dishes.
And they don't clean their own sinks, either!
Must be the state of the art invisible dishwasher
@@MarkTubeG I bet they rarely go into the kitchen of their homes.
anything that requires work is something they have never done
I’m happy she doesn’t wash dishes in her bathroom.
The reason for the saw incident ISN'T because he was trying to keep the cord out of the way, it's because the cord was catching between his belt and his tape measure pulling on the saw and twisting the blade causing it to bind, go off track, and want to kickback. He instinctively reached back to remove the bound cord and twisted his hips doing so and pulled the saw with them. This caused the saw to twist and kick back. Everything else he said was correct, but it's important to know what caused the kickback in the first place since a lot of people still use corded saws. When this happens you have to release the trigger and hold the saw tightly until the blade stops first.
I noticed that the saw seemed to be taking awhile to spin down. My old circular saw spins down gradually, but from what I've seen, the new ones all seem to have a brake to slow the blade very rapidly when you release the trigger. I don't know if that's a new mandated safety feature or what, but it seems helpful in cases like this.
I think that is REALLY fun. It's perfect for the space. At an Air B&B, people are looking for an Experience. The more bang you can offer, the bucks you can make. On a practical note, though. That does not look like a day to day sink. Sure, you can wash your hands. Maybe shave, if you are careful. It's really cool to do your make up because it's a counter until you turn the water on. What do you do if you really want a sink full of water? If you go out and get dirt up to your elbows working in the garden? Or want to color your hair? Or beard? Does toothpaste wash down the drain, or do you have to get rag and wipe it off? It's an Instagram sink, not a real sink. But you did an absolute kick ass job making it!
I was thinking the same thing. I couldn't see any real practical use for those kinds of sinks. Kim K we all know doesn't actually cook at home so she will never use it. They wouldn't work in the kitchen since just cleaning pans would get water everywhere. Shaving is also going to require a rag to clean with because the bowl isn't deep enough to use just water to clean up. Water is going to get everywhere if you try to use those sinks for anything other than regular hand washing it seems.
If you do need a sink full of water then i'm pretty sure that the kitchen and the other two bathrooms will have them. Also, at an Airbnb, I don't think people would dye their hair (at least i wouldn't) and after your stay the host or cleaners would probably clean the sink. For the toothpaste getting stuck you could probably just use your hand to redirect the water to wash it up and the slope of the sink would just wash it away.
Most people normally stay in Airbnbs for a few days or a few weeks and this sink will make the house seem modern/fashionable even if it may be impractical. It's the thoughts or in this case the looks that count
Seriously 😂, why would you need sink full of water? No one would use sink to dye hair, and you don’t want dyes on new surface sink; with toothpaste you can figure out.
@@dianachern4234 I need a sink full of water whenever I shave. These sinks would be pretty much useless to me.
And I can just imagine the mess that would result from brushing your teeth/using mouthwash and then spitting it out.
I think it's more practical. Most people have a kitchen/utility sink and possibly a bath. Extra bathroom counter space would be better than a sink that's never filled.
Really good of him to let you include that near miss. Sooooooo important for people to see, since many DIYers learn from CZcams and then try at home. So many youtubers cut that kind of thing out of videos and I think some people get the false impression that these kind of projects are much, much easier than they really are.
19:00 you'r welcome
Wish I had seen your comment first😢 Ads, ads, and more ads, then a shameless pitch for the Airbnb... I thought this was a video about making a sink?!?!
Thanks for the jump ahead point.
I also could have done without that so called BS excuse of being a professional but used to working with battery powered tools so making a first day level mistake taking your hand off a running hand held saw too was just a little mistake. Paper cuts are little mistakes. ffs smh
"SO COOL"
My guy it's just a very shallow sink...
If you ever dump a cup of water not directly in the slit, now your counter is covered in water. Pay extra money for a sink that functions worse than a normal sink.
Thanks man.
thank you so much omg
that kickback with the saw is exactlty why you should never remove the spring loaded guard from circular saws. I've seen so many people remove it on job sites so they don't have to mess with it, now I have another video I can show them on why its important.
An idea is to 3d print the slope that way you get a perfectly symmetrical shape and it should be able to hold up to the concrete
to 3D print that circumference, you'd need to print multiple pieces (probably four quarters). The print would take a day or so. Then glue them together. Then use filler and sand many times to remove layer lines (usually 4 to 6 in my experience). If you were making a reusable mold, this could be an option, but it is time consuming.
Let alone the plastic waste you end up with.
@@AlexHaan cost of doing business. Do it once and cover it with that stretchy fabric they used and it repeatable and consistent
I would have used some kind of inflation technique. Either something thin and cast something like plaster over it or something thicker softened with heat and allowed to harden.
On that scale it would be much more effective to use a cnc, sand it and possibly cover with the fabric thingy if one feels like it 🙃
It really cost $10k to install but the contractor knows his customers want it to be expensive so he charged $30k, made a profit, and his customer brags about it.
No. You don't know the market.
Since everyone still has 10 fingers? You mean since he didnt get disemboweled!!
That was scary as hell.
Yeah, that's exactly what I thought too. Dude is super lucky that saw didn't gut him like a fish. lol
@@richardvinsen2385 made me yell F**K!!! When it happened, extremely lucky like wtf man why would you ever take you hand off it
Also, still has all three legs, if you know what I mean.
Does that make me THE freak then? I`ve got 8 and 2 thumbs.......
As someone with 2 square sinks that are a huge pain to keep clean, the idea of an almost flat sink def intrigues me. Looks incredibly easy to keep clean and I've never been in a situation where I'd want to fill my sink up, so I really don't need a basin.
Nothing like a square sink to make you rethink your life choices early in the morning
I also think about the same... this is a quick use sink for light stuff. If you need a deeper sink, make one side deeper... as for the washing of arms or bigger things, that is what a utility sink is for in a laundry room.
Indeed. This is the perfect sink for washing your hands after using the throne, and if that's in another room than where you do your morning routine (like in my house), that'd work really well.
The basin serves many purposes. One of the important ones is to hold your hands low as you're washing them, so the soap and water doesn't spray across the room.
@@Jdbye Also if you ever use mouthwash or toothpaste, or hair from shaving, nothing is going to rinse down the drain. Maybe it looks nice (I don't even think it really does) but it's a really terrible sink. Soap suds that splatter around the sink are just going to remain there and look dirty.
You'll have to constantly wipe it down to make it look even remotely clean.
It's a garbage tier design and there are good reasons why it's not common
Caulk talk should be a construction podcast lol
now make it so the tap is rectangular, and the nobs circular and smooth, then make it so pushing a button will make the tap and nobs retract into the bench, it makes perfect extra bench space
Sink is 18:54
Thank you. Not sure how useful this sink is. Seems like it will make use messy.
The saw incident is easy to understand in hindsight. He took his control hand off of it while the blade was still spinning and even worse, he kept his other hand on the other side of the tool making a perfect pivot point for the tool to climb. The second that the blade caught friction on the wood, with the pivot point, it took off like one of those toy cars that you wind up and let go. Easy to see how this complacent moment happened, and it could happen to any of us. Stay diligent, and never give up positive control of a powered tool. So much can go wrong with our power tools.
IMO a flat sink like that is just dumb. It removes most of the functionality of a sink.
Not really. I mean, sure if you're washing dishes you need a deep sink. But I can't remember the last time I needed an 8" deep pool of water in a bathroom sink.
@@dgthe3Rinsing off just about anything and water is going to reflect off of it and spray everywhere. It's just a flat out stupid idea.
Don't worry they also made the edge of the counter top flush with the cabinet faces so that when the water goes everywhere it'll also drip down the cabinet faces.
@@dgthe3 Cough, when you wash animal produce, you don't want that sprayed everywhere...
Bro... I just want a normal sink that wont spill water all over the place.
3:42 Yikes! I felt that!
4:04 Chris almost lost more than just a finger 😂
Great video! That was a super fun project to work on with you and Chris. The finished install pictures of the sinks are absolutely beautiful as is Chris's entire air B&B. I'm thinking this might be my next getaway...
One day when the pipe / drain gets clogged, have fun cleaning up all those puddles. There is a reason why sinks are shaped the way it currently is, like a basin. Aside from that problem, it looks quite nice.
I personally think $15-20k is way too much for that sink even if it took four full days labour to make it, it’s not an artisan piece, any DIYer could tackle it and make a decent job.
I think 6-8K sounds more reasonable to me but if one takes into account transportation might bump the price up to 10K
If that's your value, sure. Just because I can make a burger for $5 doesn't mean I don't spend $15 at the bar for one. I could probably spend a few weeks building my own sink, but if your time is more valuable than $15k, then you pay for it.
@samuelhamblin7535 No, YOU can pay for that. The best work is done by realistic market standards.
I'd say it looks better than the one at Kardashian's house.
Everything looks good on camera.
I think a bit worse. In K house water has some space to flow on top.
I saw a vid about this several years ago on a channel called BioHacked Lady, she did a really good job in her garage with super basic equipment for probably less than 200 bucks.
I can’t find this account, can you tag or link the video?

@@katrikbenher yes
I'd rather have a sink with a proper bowl. More useful.
I mean, it does look kind of cool. I saw a similar idea (but better application) in a sculpture installation where the artist took large marble square panels (about 4'x4' and countertop thickness) and ground a barely there depression in them. Then, they were filled with a white liquid...So it looked like featureless polished marble squares, but when you walked past them, they rippled from the vibrations. Really cool and minimalism done well.
A 20-minute video, 15 minutes of ads and sales pitches, and 5 minutes of usable information.
Looks real good for cleaning invisible dishes. I consider the biggest part of a sink to be the basin. Otherwise, just put a faucet over a grate, it'll do the same thing
This design is more of, just wash your hands after going to the restroom. I can see this for a half bath, but a regular bathroom would definitely need a regular basin sink.
@@cooper10182 What's stupid is how unsanitary a sink without a basin to trap splashes is. There's probably hundreds of people's urine and fecal matter all around that room.
It's unquestionably cool looking and it looks like it would be very easy to clean since there are no corners or grooves, but I just can't quite get past not being able to put a plug in to fill the sink up. Like how would anyone shave with this sink? Or if you have a baby or a small pet that needs a bath. I don't think it would be practical for an everyday lived in home, especially one with a family, but it's very nice in this AirBNB setting because I think you can get away with "a bit unusual" for occasional stays that people wouldn't tolerate in their own homes. I think a 'not invisible' version that is just as smooth on the surface but with a deeper depression and pluggable drain would be just about perfect though. In dark grey/black too, of course :)
What do you need the standing water for though? All cleaning could be done from running water. There are times you could use a bowl of water but maybe just use a bowl for that?
You could have a large plastic bowl stored underneath for occasions like shaving etc. where you'd use a plug and fill a more normal sink.
I feel sorry for that dude on acid watching this video during the acid video fx.
Lol Drew
@@modustrialI take it back. I don’t feel sorry for Eric Spencley.
It would make a lot more sense just to use a flat surface that is tilted in two directions and have a subtle drain catch at the very front of the sink edge that runs the full distance of the sink.
kinda like a pool, i love the idea
The other safety thing to avoid saw kick backs is to make sure the work piece is clamped down.
If the work piece can move, the kerf can angle and pinch the spinning blade, resulting in a dangerous kick back.
If it has to move, use a fence to make sure the kerf stays straight and doesn't pinch the blade.
Good looking sink for a powder room but not for a bathroom that's going to be used for everything. Bathroom sinks get used for a lot of things.
Loved watching the method, though.
Yeah it’s not very practical.
Imagine trying to use it to empty a bucket of dirty water. LOL
To last for more than about a month, it would also need to be vitreous enameled. Sealers are neither durable or stain resistant.
The plastic drain unit in concrete would also not retain a seal. Then the whole thing lasts as long as a piece of solvent welded plastic pipe.
I’ve never use the basin of my bathroom sink for anything. This might actually be more practical because of how easy it would be to clean
How difficult is it to clean a regular sink…??? 😂 If you can’t clean a sink, the shape of it is the least of your problems
Having had such a sink for years, all i can tell you is i wont ever use another one. It looks cool. That's it.
Using it every morning is frustrating. It's ok with running water. As soon as you'll wash your teeth, you'll understand why this is bad design.
if you dont use it for anything, what good is cleaning it, how dirty could it possibly get just running fresh water through it?
I have to say that this 30k is a good price.
How to I know? I install WiFi solutions in design homes. Simple 1K WiFi accesspoint can end up to 7K (usually between 1,5 to 3K) for client because of all the redesign of accesspoints themselves and/on mounting solutions and cabling etc. And no - I have reasonable prices for labor and materials. Mostly time adds up really fast if you have to visit site with designer and client multiple times
I’m an Industrial Designer and have seen this for many years. IDs have done this with Steel, Rubber/Silicone, Glass and Composites.
Loved the abandoned building reno, but its nice seeing you get back to the old school stuff. Wish you could keep doing a mix.
Thanks Kenny!
The fact that you make a REPLICA, and exclude the entire design process - (briefing / sketches / design iterations / finishing the design digitally... + meetings and presentations / changes halfway through the project / prototypes / presentations of material (this is too rough.. The color of that one is not right) / etc etc) - means that you cannot arrive at a fair comparison, pricewise.
A custom (bespoke) setup like that involves more than just 'making it'.
And you are making use of at least 70% of that process by making an unlicensed replica (which is something you can do, because it's not for sale. But it's also something to take into account)
When you make a movie, FILMING it is not the only thing that needs to be done;
there's the script, actors, logistics, catering, editing, lighting, etc etc etc etc..
When you make a car, it's worth less in materials than the complete car.
But did you sit down to design the whole thing? Every handle, every dial, every bearing, the electrical system, the brake system... or the engine even?
There are some things you buy as parts to avoid having to design those from scratch.
In your process you can subvert having to buy those designed parts, by it being easier to replicate those.
But that doesn't mean no time and money was spent on it.
Someone sat down to think up, design, and test the ideal height, width, proportions, and other properties (at which slope does it spatter. At which slope does the illusion disappear. Yada yada)
And you are eyeballing your design from the hours and hours that they already put in.
So... Not completely fair - it simply can't be.
-
That said: I like the process of making this, and the result is sweet.
Just saying: design is not nothing.
Without that design, you wouldn't have been able to make this video even.
It seems very practical for a kitchen surface you need to cut food, roll dough on, or stuff like that, though still need a normal sink for dishes.
Actually, that's a cool idea. getting that slot drain clogged might be a problem but, as a serious cook, I would love to be able to turn on a faucet and just wipe my counter down. Especially if the whole thing sloped back instead of to the center, so that the drain was out of the way.
the only cool thing about it is that is easy to clean
Exactly! Easy to clean is a huge bonus. I don’t understand what people use a deep sink for? I’ve got a kitchen sink for anything that might be useful for. The only reason I use my bathroom sink is tooth paste, beard shavings and washing hands. I really like the idea for this low profile easy to clean sink.
And most people would still wait for it to get nasty to clean it. 😂
@@TheGreatestJuJuWell that's odd. I use the deep sink to soak tools and hygiene products, to wash my hair, clean bits of clothing or cloth, etc. Just generally anything that I wouldn't feel comfortable having around food. Like I'm not about to bend over in the tub to clean off some gunk on a piece, when I could just put it in the sink, but I'm not about to put it in the same place I put my dishes and fresh food. If you're not doing a lot that needs a sink though, I can see how having less sink would be helpful. Tbf I did refer to this sink as "semi-useless" so my statement still applies
but you have to clean up more often, so 0/10
Tbh I use my bathroom sink like people use a laundry or mudroom sink. I would get water everywhere
SO FOR 30,000 SHE GOT 9 SINKS
My wife and I used GFRC when we poured our kitchen countertops ourselves when we rebuilt our home after a fire. It' been 11 years and we still love them.
Your finished projects are so amazing and beautiful. Never heard of an invisible sink until today. Love your CZcams channel, I never know what new project you have mastered.
Aunt Bernice💞
thanks Aunt Bernie!
Just use a two part silicone to support the backside of the form. You could use layers to keep it from deforming. Flip it over and you have a solid support for the concrete that perfectly follows the fabric.
I love an A frame, that place is super cool.
The one the celebrity had was CNC milled out of stone. Expensive stone. The pattern of of the stone is why the basin was so well hidden. Then polished to a fine finish. That's why it was so expensive. You could have done the same with your mold, sealed, and prepped the surface to be smooth.
Hopefully referencing the Kardassians doesn't make this channel sink.....
Wouldn't want to drain his credibility,
Well, not everyone is able to afford a 30,000 sink. That sink cost as much as some people's entire houses.
Wow that kickback was brutal. I’m grateful for my track saw with an anti kickback mechanism.
So, $500 in materials, but a stated finished price tag of $15,000, which means $14,500 in labour for 3 days. That equals $604/hr! Who the F thinks that they are worth that kind of money? Anyone who pays that kind of money is an absolute dope. Good luck with pricing like that.
I agree, I love his craftsmanship but 15-20k$ is absolutely ridiculous price tag for 3 days of work & 500$ in material not to mention the little to no difficulty in making it. A more realistic number would be 3k$-5k$
I assume he has a standard pay rate for labor hours & I bet if he did the math it wouldn’t come anywhere close to 15-20k$. He only said the number he did because Kim paid 30k$ so cutting hers in half would make his seem like a “steal”.
You are paying for their expertise, production space, tooling etc. Bespoke stuff like this is not priced by the hour. Think about the risk involved, too...if they fail they have to start over! The risk of failure for non standard work like this is way higher.
I own a company with a full workshop space, and highly specialized tools, in one of the most expensive markets in North America. $600/hr is out to lunch. They’re going to put themselves out of business. I get pushback for a shop rate of $175/hr.
@@paulashla It is, but with failures you only have to cover the lost material cost & your 'real' labour cost (ie, what you actually pay your workers for the lost hours). And some of the effort can even be recouped, depending on the job.
I absolutely LOVE this sink ! It's so clean & modern ! Would I spend $30k for it ?! No. Would I spend $10k-$12k for is YES!
I can easily see them remaking the sink 8 times for color or patterns on it.
30k is kinda justified I think
$30k for 8 is absolutely justified. $15k-$20k for one is delusional.
@@athhud Also they came up with the design, whereas he copied it. As much work as reverse-engineering takes, it's not like making something from scratch.
Even cooler to get a deep stainless steel sink and build a shelving system that can be raised up to a few centimeters from the concrete surface that has the same concrete molded on it to appear seamless when fully raised. That way you could still use it as a soaking basin when it is completely lowered.
I love the videos with the Fishtone guys. Great learning and techniques
thanks much!
A more complicated way to go about creating this sink I don't know why he went that route I was just laughing my ass off HAHA 😂😂😂😂
Pretty long commercial
Am I missing something? Wouldn't the best way to make this be to make a standard flat top and gradually grind away the top?
chris does not seem like he has alot of experience on the skill saw
Definitely looks like a guy with soft hands that is handling a circular saw for the first time.
Definitely looks that way! Won’t deny that. Several excuses come to mind. But the fact remains I let my guard down on a tool I was not familiar with. I don’t even own a corded saw let alone one with a blade that hasn’t been changed since the 90’s lol embarrassing to watch.
But I hope seeing the house we built gives some vindication. These soft hands were hands on site clearing, framing, windows, siding, roof, fireplace install, floors, trim, tile, microcement, sinks, floating shelves , all the faux beams and ceiling details, cabinet install, railing design and assisted fabrication, decks, retaining walls, grading, etc.
19:31 I never noticed you have red hair. Or is it the light?
Just the light
"building an Airbnb"...not as if people need homes to live in, you have to build a freaking *hotel* in a residential neighborhood!!
Cool project, could have used 3D printed molds too
Silicone molds are reusable
Thanks! to 3D print that circumference, you'd need to print multiple pieces (probably four quarters). The print would take a day or so. Then glue them together. Then use filler and sand many times to remove layer lines (usually 4 to 6 in my experience). If you were making a reusable mold, this could be an option, but it is time consuming.
@@modustrial You're right. I have a big printer but it doest change much besides gluing. I guess for a DIY at home it could make more sense since you are not so rushed in time. But I don't find the models you made to be that great either it also takes time to shape and you can have variances - even more if you don't have an artist to help hehe , you can also print overnight, post process in 2h including drying and you're done - or even faster if you use uv resin to fill in the gaps. But in the end matter is that your result was superb! =D
500 dollars in supplies, 3 people, working full time for 3 days is 72 hours. If we assume all three guys is 100 an hour (which feels very steep especially for all three but it’s being very kind) that’s $7700. Installation let’s say is another 20 hours of work so $9700. But this ignores that all of the work was not done on that same sink, so all of those hours didn’t go into this unit. Where does the extra $5300-10300 come from? I can see where maybe some extra cost could come in but idk.
That number comes from his fantasy land where no one else exists. Based on Kim’s numbers you could go to L.A. (home of overpriced extravagance) and have this sink installed for $4k including a generous tip. I have a hard time believing that guys in the business of making concrete countertops invested more than 8hrs of labor into this. Maybe he is including standing around and watching a 3D printer as billable hours? No matter how you go about trying to make sense of a $15k-$20k price tag, this dude comes out looking like a sheister.
What a stunning property. The Kardashians are not people who would be worried about saving money so they wouldn't care about paying 5k more. This is a very cool design for a sink.
I think Kins sink looked dope because it was on an Island. I do not know what it’s called but it had space where you can walk behind it. Plus the large windows making up the walls gave it that wow factor.
It “only” cost her $30k cuz they knew she would pay it…
Critical to keep the drain free of the usual toothpaste, shaving cream, skin cell, mildew gunk that inevitably forms in all bathroom sink drains. Plus no basin means no stopper. And, water pressure varies in most municipalities so again, the drain must flow faster than the water coming out of the faucet or there’s going to be an overflow situation very quickly. It looks cool though.
Pretty sink, but totally not functional.
For one, there's no stopper. There's no way one could rinse (gas perm) contact lenses in that sink.
A face wash might splash water everywhere, with no defined basin. This would apply to over-the-sink shaving, too.
KK would never hand wash delicate clothing in her bathroom sink - but I do, all the time. You can't hand wash anything in this sink.
There is a way to be able to rinse your contacts, but you would have to either have a 3-D printer or know someone that does have one. You could create an insert specifically for that time of the day.
@@danahebdon6810 Sure it's possible. And with the right supplies I could build a device to add water-tight height to turn the counter into a laundry basin.
But why, when I could build (or buy) a sink that already has those features? I don't need a $$$$ custom sink nobody has ever seen, I need a sink that fulfills the functions of a sink perfectly.
It's a sink for washing your hands after doing your business, not one for your morning/evening cleaning routine.
That pen trick with the caulk is actually so useful. I'm gonna use that
That sink is pure art vs zero functionality. Maintenance nightmare.
Her sink probably gets used washing her finger tips or not at all. The splashing on that when being used must be terrible.
8 prototypes? Sounds like a difficult to please client so $30,000 sounds reasonable
Lol that acid trip effect. Cool project Mike. Love to see these kinds of builds.
This entire video is just an ad for his friend's AirBNB.
They only showed the airbnb in the last quarter of the video, quit whining
I really like the idea of this for a bathroom sink but not so much in a kitchen. You guys absolutely nailed it
Thanks much!
What I NEED to know is… is the foosball table well greased? If I’m going to book a place that has a foosball table I need to know if they take the maintenance seriously and there’s no bent rods.
Me and the guys take our foosball seriously.
I would think a 3D printed piece of plastic would be a great “mold” for the slope of the sink, rather than clay
print of this size would take a decently large printer, a bunch of hours and a lot of sanding. I've see people use thick foam that you can sand easily to shape it as you want it
Just some guys in their element, cutting plastic, spraying concrete & mixing glass fibers without a respirator or mask in sight 😎
Not sure if this has been mentioned, in car audio, when working on speaker forms they use stretch fabric and resin to solidify the desired shape.
As someone who has cut stone professionally that is not worth $30,000 if it were made out of stone. If it only took 3 days to make it with concrete, I don't see how it could possibly be more than $3,000 which I think would be astonishingly steep.
I’ve had a saw kick back at me like that once (though thankfully it stayed within the part and only wrecked it and not me). Seriously scary when it happens
Yeah, focusing with power tools is no joke. Glad he is ok! Loving the content with that new sink, Mike! That airbnb is like a nature-lover's dream. Here's a fun question for you. Do any of your fans visit your home or have any visited in the past? That would be a fun story. Keep the awesome content coming!!!
Thanks! A few ppl have stopped by... At some point I'll do an event for the public, once the gallery is done
The artist probably had to design it. The 8 prototypes could have been caused by the client requesting changes with money not being an object.
3:50 Where were the supervisors? 😂
I don't think people who buy this sink have ever washed anything in their life, it just looks as impractical as it can get, there is no place to put anything inside.
4:20 - So this is why insurance premiums keep going up.
I've seen a sink similar to this where they took a slab of granite and using a grinder, by hand, dished it out in a way you could not see it. It looked like a drain in the middle of a flat countertop. It was very cool.
CAD the shape and 3-d print it as teh base to the fabric that teh concreate will be mold on. This will ensure no warping as the concrete is being poured as teh shape will form the backing for the fabric.
4:00 props to him for allowing you to share it. 👏🏼
I want a flat sink in my master bath because I want something different, calming, fewer textures etc. If I need a proper sink for something, then there's the kitchen sink, or utility sinks, even a 2nd bathroom sink. If it's a stone slabe styled piece, then a shallow divet would suffice. Just grind it down. Even a butcher block top could be ground down for an 'invisible' sink. It's unusual, but so were many things when they first came into being.
Personally speaking, if I was to have One, I would not be bothered if it is not stone and made of concrete simply because the invisible sink looks way too cool!
The only thing that I would prefer is for it to be a dark color that way, the drainage holes would be even more discreet or, in other words, they too would seem invisible. However, all in all, it is an awesome sink! 🤙🏼🙂🤙🏼❤️
thanks!
@modustrial My pleasure, Sir.
Thankyou very much for sharing.
Have a great Week and take care, Sir.
P.S. you did an awesome job. 🤙🏼🙂🤙🏼❤️
The stairs in that Airbnb will destroy the dachshund’s back.
Looks nice. I have given up using AirBNB. Too pricey compared to staying at a hotel for some.
I'm so glad that you said that those sinks don't seem practical for a home. It makes some sense in the bathroom, but not in the kitchen. 30K can by at least 10 acres in some nice places, man...
Doing it in 1 try with 3 days of labor and $500 in material and it cost $20,000? I completely understand paying an artist craftsman but DAMN. Awesome video, the price just blew me away.
That was such a satisfying sound of the peel at 11:53.
3:29 what a nightmare situation, glad everyone was okay 😭😭😭
