Step 1: Make the mould

I made my mould out of old bits of wood i had laying around, i also counter sunk some dents in it and placed marbles on it, I also put crushed slate, big rocks off the beach, sea shells and other bits of glass and stuff on it which make the finish poduct better in my opinion, the four pieces of wood are bits of Oak

Love the project. How much did it all cost start to finish?

Cool.

I do like that a lot, tell me, what is the metal bowl in which you are burning your wood?

Is is a simple bowl (like the one you find at IKEA) or has it to be somehow special?

Thanks for sharing :)

Thanks, it's just a normal fire pit, I think I bought it from B&Q or something for about £50, I sprayed it with fire resistant paint though, thanks again

What tools and abrasives and stuff do you need to polish concrete?

[abitdifferent]

I used a wet polisher, give it a quick google there's loads of info, there are other ways of polishing concrete which may be more suitable to you

Great project! A fire pit is a great way to gather with friends and family.

Although the flames do look very high It was just abit of wood thrown on for photo's sake but I usually only burn charcoal which looks crap on a photo but does keep us nice and toastie, also the top of the gazebo had been removed and it was wet so the chance of it catching fire was slim, thanks for your concern though and thanks for your interest

From the looks of it, the peek of that tent is removed. So should be alright.

It is all fun and games until someone puts an eye out!
