More Concrete Crap... DIY: Making a large contemporary bench (ONGOING)

Have a fun project i’m making for a local university. I’m still in the process of making this and will be installing it in a couple days. Thought I would share some pics. This is the largest single piece of concrete i’ve made yet to date at 15ft long.

check back as I will be updating with more pics until it is 100% complete.

Also, you can follow me on this project and others on instagram @ThielStudios

The design concept for the concrete portion:

Always great work!

:tup: you’re so talented. Ugh.

If only people could see what you can do with wood.

or a 10’ CF pole

HAHAHAHA.

As always Josh, great work. :tup:

:tup: Very cool!

Idk, looks kind of crooked to me…

Kidding. Seriously though, this is some next level shit. Every single DIY thread you’ve posted I have been in awe. Seriously inspiring dude.

Amazing work as always :tup:

everything else is still under construction… so the building doesn’t look all that impressive at the moment…, however it’s pretty cool. Here is the rendering:

This is awesome. Well done man!

Thanks.

FYI…the bench support is going to be tiled over. When it’s finished you won’t be seeing the steelwork.

Awesome work but is the bench going under the stairs? Its getting tiled over? Why not just pour a form and call it a a day? It looks awesome as though. i wanna build some concrete shit just because i see these threads. Thanks for the inspiration.

VERY nice. I like it :tup:

small update. I went to site to finish the seams and give it a final clean down… the jobsite is finally starting to clean up. Still waiting on the tile to be imported that will cover the steel framework.

As always. Epic work.

Just a follow up on this project. Grand opening of the University of Miami was last week… This little concrete project turned out pretty well!
