Mounting a Concrete Mantle, Building a Better Casting Table, and Solving Curling for Good

Mounting a Concrete Mantle, Building a Better Casting Table, and Solving Curling for Good

Some days in the shop call you to level up, not just in your craft but in the person you’re becoming. This episode walks with you through the practical wins that help you get there. Brandon and Jon break down how to set paddles on a vertical shaft mixer so your fiber reinforced mixes behave the way you need for concrete countertops and sinks. You’ll hear different approaches to mounting a floating mantle or fireplace surround, is a vibrating table necessary to make concrete countertops, and why a torsion box casting table can tighten up your workflow. We also cover the simple steps that prevent curling, and which Kodiak Pro polishing pads to pair with a Dewalt sander for a clean, efficient finish. Then the conversation shifts to something that sharpens more than your craft. Justin Burd’s Concrete Athlete Design Competition challenges you to create a meaningful piece using no more than 50 pounds of Maker Mix or RADmix, paired with thirty days of workouts and daily discipline. It’s a reminder that stronger concrete and stronger character both come from showing up with intention. By the end, you’re equipped with better methods, clearer thinking, and the confidence that comes from choosing the right tools and the right habits. Kodiak Pro stands ready to help you make work you’re proud of and a life that feels just as solid.
