00:00:00
a while back Kim Kardashian did an
00:00:01
inhome interview with fogue and there
00:00:03
was just a glimpse of her bathroom
00:00:05
during the interview viewers noticed her
00:00:08
seemingly flat sinkless sink and it set
00:00:11
the internet on
00:00:13
fire but come on those sinks are next
00:00:16
level where does the water even go there
00:00:18
was so much Buzz about her sink she took
00:00:20
to the socials to show everyone that it
00:00:22
did in fact work it does actually like
00:00:25
slightly slope down that you can kind of
00:00:27
see and there's a slit for the water
00:00:31
so now we know the sink works but
00:00:32
inquiring minds want to know how the
00:00:34
heck was it made she also mentioned that
00:00:36
it cost over
00:00:37
$30,000 so in this video I'm going to
00:00:39
try to build a replica of Kim
00:00:41
Kardashian's viral snc and see if it
00:00:43
actually justifies a $30,000 price
00:00:47
[Music]
00:00:52
tag that's so
00:00:56
cool all right day one and this is a
00:00:59
project
00:01:01
I've been wanting to do for a really
00:01:02
long time but honestly the flat sink
00:01:04
thing was just so impractical I didn't
00:01:06
want to do it for my own home but
00:01:08
recently a fan who's a home builder was
00:01:10
asking for help doing concrete sinks for
00:01:12
an Airbnb that he's building nearby and
00:01:14
it seemed like a perfect fit for this
00:01:16
project so today we're going to go meet
00:01:18
him out at fishstone Concrete in the
00:01:20
Chicago BBS and hopefully build this
00:01:22
sink in 3
00:01:23
[Music]
00:01:28
days see you how you been doing well
00:01:31
doing well yeah nice to meet you nice to
00:01:33
meet you did you bring a dog I
00:01:35
did hi bud I know it's exciting come on
00:01:38
we got all the supervisors here today
00:01:40
with Tex 12 seconds later yeah Tex
00:01:44
already made himself at home right here
00:01:46
I did walk him this morning but you know
00:01:49
just to give you guys a little preview
00:01:50
we got Tom Fisher owner of fishstone we
00:01:53
got Chris Grunwald over here who's been
00:01:55
watching the channel and called me about
00:01:57
making some sinks basically told him if
00:01:58
you make the exact sink I want to make
00:01:59
make then you can come and make it with
00:02:01
me nice guy he said that sounded fun so
00:02:04
let's hope it
00:02:06
is this is basically the system we're
00:02:08
going to be using to make that gradually
00:02:11
sloped sink right correct so what do we
00:02:13
got here so this is stretch form fabric
00:02:15
it's a stretchable fabric that has a
00:02:17
waterproof membrane on there when I've
00:02:18
seen this before it's like they stretch
00:02:20
a fabric over something and then you
00:02:21
make like a fiberglass mold I haven't
00:02:23
seen them pour directly onto a fabric so
00:02:26
that's pretty cool so we might have
00:02:27
given up the whole secret but not really
00:02:30
because you'll notice on this one the
00:02:32
sink is really high this would not look
00:02:36
like an invisible drain you notice
00:02:37
there's Flex when we put the concrete on
00:02:39
there getting that Flex right there's
00:02:41
going to be some skill and maybe a
00:02:43
little bit of luck make sure that we can
00:02:44
get enough of a slope when we're using a
00:02:46
tiny like 3/4 in high piece of wood
00:02:49
underneath this to make it all right so
00:02:51
we got a plan yep let's build the form
00:02:53
let's get to it now when I said we had a
00:02:54
plan there I think there might have been
00:02:57
some YouTuber enthusiasm going on cuz we
00:03:00
still weren't sure if the flex fabric
00:03:03
could be pulled hot enough to create
00:03:04
that super lowprofile drain without
00:03:07
flexing so much that it just became flat
00:03:10
under the weight of the concrete but we
00:03:12
decided to put that question to the side
00:03:13
for a moment and just get going get our
00:03:16
hands in there and cut out the melamine
00:03:17
pieces for the rest of the form however
00:03:20
things almost went from bad to worse
00:03:22
when Chris was cutting the base of the
00:03:24
form
00:03:30
[Music]
00:03:34
Jes you all
00:03:36
right just want to jump in here real
00:03:39
quick and explain what happened Chris is
00:03:41
a professional contractor with lots of
00:03:43
experience using power tools but most of
00:03:44
us use battery power tools and he hadn't
00:03:46
used the cord and saw in ages he got
00:03:48
distracted focusing on keeping the cord
00:03:50
out of the way and took his hand off the
00:03:52
tool it's a good reminder that even if
00:03:54
you have a lot of experience you got to
00:03:56
pay attention and keep your mind in the
00:03:57
game when you're using Dangerous Power
00:03:59
Tools a big thanks to Chris too for
00:04:01
letting us share his mistake so others
00:04:03
can learn from it okay since thankfully
00:04:05
everyone still has 10 fingers it's time
00:04:07
to figure out how the heck we're going
00:04:08
to make the mold for this crazy
00:04:11
invisible sink so after much
00:04:13
deliberation we decided our best chance
00:04:15
was to use clay and sculpt the inverse
00:04:18
shape of each Basin and then cover that
00:04:22
clay with the stretch fabric now the
00:04:24
trick would be sculpting the clay in an
00:04:26
even and gradually increasing slope so
00:04:29
that it ended up up pulling off the
00:04:31
invisible look that we wanted so we
00:04:33
called in expert Tom's wife Carrie is a
00:04:35
sculptor here in Chicago she's done some
00:04:37
really cool stuff around the city
00:04:39
working with this clay was challenging
00:04:41
but a lot of fun you heat it up and
00:04:44
soften it to make it workable and then
00:04:45
we used whatever tools we had on hand to
00:04:48
try to shape it into a symmetrical and
00:04:50
gradually increasing slope circle around
00:04:53
the center of the drain this is starting
00:04:54
to seem like it's going to work we're
00:04:56
going to put the fabric over that pretty
00:04:58
excited to see how it comes out
00:05:00
[Music]
00:05:05
it's with that many Staples it's not
00:05:06
going
00:05:12
anywh
00:05:16
CLE when I make concrete sinks I always
00:05:18
get a lot of questions about the drain
00:05:20
and how do you make the drain hole this
00:05:22
is a drain kit made for very small slot
00:05:25
drains Tom you want to sure absolutely
00:05:27
show us what it what it's about what
00:05:29
we're going to do is we're going to
00:05:30
drill some pilot holes and create some
00:05:31
holes for Pins that we can then attach
00:05:34
the slot drain fitting which then has
00:05:35
another fitting on there and then we
00:05:37
take a couple PVC fittings fit over that
00:05:40
that's what's going to hook up to a
00:05:41
standard drain faucet there definitely a
00:05:43
little more refined than what I've used
00:05:45
before and now it's time for another
00:05:47
episode of c talk which is the same as
00:05:50
every episode of c talk I apply a BL PX
00:05:54
to the melon lay down a generous layer
00:05:55
100% silicone caul run a metaled ball to
00:05:57
over all the caul lines metal fed ball
00:05:58
to pushes excess caul to the sides of
00:05:59
leaves a clean line over the seam and
00:06:00
the layer of PX makes it easy to peel
00:06:02
the excess culk away once secures
00:06:03
leaving a perfect culk line and that's
00:06:05
it for this episode of cul
00:06:06
talk and this is not really part of this
00:06:08
video but Chris is making a second sink
00:06:10
here and I wanted to show this because
00:06:12
he brought in some black melamine to
00:06:14
make the form and the black melamine it
00:06:17
looks super super cool think I might
00:06:19
have to find some of this for some of my
00:06:21
future
00:06:23
builds all right we are back day two
00:06:26
we're going to just put a pinch of this
00:06:28
yellow oxy side pigment which is kind of
00:06:30
like brownish yellow to just give it a
00:06:32
slightly off-white color it's going to
00:06:34
match the rest of stuff in Chris's
00:06:41
bathroom to get a perfectly smooth
00:06:43
surface or spraying on the Face coat
00:06:46
first and then using a brush to pop any
00:06:48
air bubbles in the concrete that might
00:06:50
be trapped against the FL
00:06:59
[Music]
00:07:05
while waiting for the Face coat to FM up
00:07:07
a bit we added a back form for the
00:07:10
vertical apron which will make it much
00:07:12
easier to do the backer coat on this
00:07:14
vertical surface I'm mixing up here
00:07:16
Chris is going to spray His Face coat
00:07:18
this is actually his first time he's
00:07:19
learning today which is super cool to
00:07:21
get someone in the the concrete
00:07:23
Community while we're doing that Tom's
00:07:24
going to go mix up the backer coat with
00:07:26
glass fibers that we're going to put
00:07:28
into our sink
00:07:32
[Music]
00:07:48
[Music]
00:08:00
nice everything is filled in we got our
00:08:02
nice little volcanoes built up around
00:08:05
the sinks now it's just uh just a
00:08:07
waiting game very excited to see how
00:08:09
this one comes
00:08:11
out we're about to head back out to fish
00:08:13
tone for some concrete
00:08:15
and hold
00:08:18
on
00:08:20
hello hello we have been trying to reach
00:08:23
you about your car's warranty do you
00:08:26
hate spam calls and scammer emails well
00:08:28
then you need to listen to this because
00:08:30
there's an easy way to stop them with
00:08:32
today's sponsor incog but before I tell
00:08:34
you how to stop spam you need to
00:08:36
understand why you get it in the first
00:08:38
place data Brokers you see there are
00:08:41
hundreds of these companies out there
00:08:43
that scrape the internet for your
00:08:44
personally identifying information
00:08:46
compile it and then sell it to the
00:08:48
highest bidder now unfortunately if you
00:08:50
shop online use social media do most of
00:08:53
the things that we all do it's almost
00:08:55
impossible to stop data Brokers from
00:08:57
finding your personal information this
00:08:59
includes your name address email
00:09:01
financial information political
00:09:03
affiliation account passwords and this
00:09:06
one really shocked me there even ways
00:09:07
they can legally sell your social
00:09:09
security number what's worse these
00:09:11
companies aren't that Discerning about
00:09:13
who they'll sell to advertising firms
00:09:15
big Tech and even scammers who can do
00:09:18
some really nasty stuff with your
00:09:19
personal information now the one glimmer
00:09:21
of hope is that these data Brokers are
00:09:23
required to remove your information from
00:09:25
their lists if you request they do so
00:09:28
the problem is there are hundreds of
00:09:29
these companies and as you might guess
00:09:31
they don't make the removal request
00:09:33
process easy this is where incog comes
00:09:36
in after a simple signup process you
00:09:38
give them permission to act on your
00:09:39
behalf and they automate the entire
00:09:41
process of requesting your data be
00:09:43
removed from all these data Brokers I
00:09:45
signed up for incog 5 days ago and just
00:09:48
checking my incog dashboard now I can
00:09:50
see they've sent 123 different data
00:09:54
broker requests and have already
00:09:55
completed the removal process with 78 of
00:09:58
them incog also G gives me an estimate
00:10:00
of how much time I've saved versus
00:10:02
trying to do all this on my own
00:10:04
currently over 58 hours and counting as
00:10:06
for the IRL effect since signing up I've
00:10:09
noticed a dramatic decrease in spam
00:10:12
calls I used to get four or five daily
00:10:14
and over the last couple days none and
00:10:16
in fact that spam call you saw a minute
00:10:18
ago it was fake because I didn't have
00:10:21
any real ones to record and cogy also
00:10:23
provides protection against identity
00:10:25
theft and other scams so if you want to
00:10:27
keep your personal information away from
00:10:29
spammers and scammers head to incognit
00:10:32
docomo or follow the link in the
00:10:34
description bonus when you use the code
00:10:36
medustrial you'll get 60% off an annual
00:10:38
plan thanks to incog for projecting my
00:10:41
personal information and sponsoring this
00:10:43
video now let's get back to it it's 3
00:10:45
days later now and we are on the road
00:10:47
heading back out to Crystal Lake and it
00:10:49
is concrete Christmas day we're getting
00:10:51
to demold everything super excited to
00:10:53
see how this all turns
00:10:55
out feel
00:10:58
ready all right so these are looking
00:11:01
pretty good on the underside next up
00:11:03
here we're going to use the form as a
00:11:04
guy just grind down on the side there
00:11:07
grind the top here so we get a nice
00:11:09
clean Edge and then we can take it out
00:11:11
of the
00:11:23
for while we're moving these inside just
00:11:26
want to take a second and remind you
00:11:27
guys to go check out Channel sponsor
00:11:29
area at work today I'm rocking this new
00:11:31
Aviator style jacket and also got the
00:11:33
stylish composite toe shoes because well
00:11:35
we're moving concrete chunks around so
00:11:37
check out the links in the description
00:11:38
for these and all my area at work
00:11:40
favorites now let's get on concrete
00:11:42
Christmas
00:11:45
time oh it's looking pretty nice like a
00:11:48
Sandy color like you're going for there
00:11:55
[Music]
00:12:03
I can't see
00:12:04
it oh yeah baby all right I think that's
00:12:09
going to work from right here it looks
00:12:11
almost like there's no drain but it's
00:12:13
going to be enough that'll flow I
00:12:19
think we're happy Next Step we're going
00:12:22
to do a little acid but someone was
00:12:25
looking for you acid wash that is
00:12:32
[Music]
00:12:42
she felt there was no time to be lost
00:12:45
she was shrinking rapid so she to work
00:12:49
at right now we're going to show you how
00:12:52
you make a hole for a faucet in a
00:12:54
concrete countertop be the same thing
00:12:56
you would do for granite or marble lots
00:12:58
of people ask about this Tom's going to
00:12:59
man the uh the drill attachment to the
00:13:02
angle grinder you got this doughnut to
00:13:04
kind of keep the water in we showed that
00:13:06
process on Chris's other sink just
00:13:07
because well it's a lot simpler he's
00:13:09
going to wait till he has the actual
00:13:11
Faucets in hand on the other sink just
00:13:13
to make sure it lines up straight so
00:13:15
he'll be doing that exact same process
00:13:17
on his own for the sealer we're using
00:13:19
fish Stones U seal which is my personal
00:13:21
go-to for concrete super durable we just
00:13:24
roll it on with a roller keep it wet and
00:13:27
uh yeah pretty simple to to get it going
00:13:29
going pretty
00:13:30
[Music]
00:13:37
quick all right so we got the first coat
00:13:40
of sealer on we're going to do a couple
00:13:41
more but the next time I'm going to see
00:13:43
you guys is going to be up in Wisconsin
00:13:45
at Chris's Airbnb it's a few months
00:13:47
later and before we head out to the
00:13:48
Airbnb to check out the finished sink I
00:13:50
want to talk about that $30,000 price in
00:13:53
one other thing so first I got to give
00:13:55
some credit where credits du the way I
00:13:57
originally found out about the sink was
00:13:58
another fan who' reached out to me and
00:14:00
they were in Florida I think it was back
00:14:02
in 2021 when I was in the midst of
00:14:04
redoing this whole building so I really
00:14:06
didn't have time to take on projects for
00:14:08
anyone else so I had to turn down that
00:14:10
project but to that viewer if you're
00:14:12
watching I just want to thank you you
00:14:13
were the one I got the idea from it
00:14:15
worked out like it did because Chris's
00:14:17
Airbnb is local so now let's talk about
00:14:19
that $30,000 price tag did Kim K get
00:14:22
ripped off or is it worth it well you
00:14:24
guys know I did a video on $110,000
00:14:27
concrete countertops a while back
00:14:29
and I certainly believe that concrete
00:14:31
Artisan work is worth quite a bit of
00:14:34
money it's very difficult labor it takes
00:14:36
skill and time to pull off properly so
00:14:38
even though there were only about $500
00:14:41
in materials that went into making the
00:14:43
sink yes it's going to be worth quite a
00:14:46
bit more than that $30,000 though
00:14:48
honestly that feels like a bit much now
00:14:51
she mentioned something about why it
00:14:52
cost so much eight versions of this
00:14:55
prototype sink was made now we did this
00:14:58
in three days on the first try and I'll
00:15:00
let you guys be the judge but I think we
00:15:01
nailed the look pretty spoton so should
00:15:04
she have paid for the labor to do this
00:15:06
eight times to make eight prototypes I
00:15:08
don't know if I were to make something
00:15:09
like this for a client installed it
00:15:11
would probably run somewhere in the $5
00:15:13
to $20,000 range so not a complete riff
00:15:15
off but I do think that price was was
00:15:18
pretty high I know you guys will have
00:15:19
thoughts so leave a comment and let me
00:15:21
know without further Ado let's head out
00:15:23
to the Airbnb and check out the sink
00:15:27
[Music]
00:15:29
keep your eyes on the
00:15:33
horizon I was looking to belong when i'
