Attach Metal Lath and Cut Openings

lath it's the metal galvanized steel it's like a honeycomb shape i get in my last video you'll see it when i put stone on we're going to put like a mortar or a thinset or like a stucco on this thing and we need the metal lath to be there to be able to take all that material on it so let's keep going until we make mistakes [Music] [Applause] all right let's start figuring out our concrete scenario it's interesting because i've never done a circular pour i've always done a square a rectangle now here's what i'm thinking it's a four by eight sheet of melamine we're gonna cut in half will be four by four here it is i'm gonna place two by four blocks in a circular pattern and then fit and bend that plywood inside of it i don't know i have a it might work i don't know i'm going to line the edges all the way around to make sure that everything's sealed and it gives you a round over edge then i'll use a caulking tool to give it that round over edge i'm going to flip this upside down lay it right in there align it exactly where i trace it out and i'm going to put a bead of silicone around it now why because the back side of this is actually going to be the top side when we flip it over and that's going to be the perfect seat including this little tapered edge here that's why i'm not flipping it the other way around let's put some sweat in [Music] so i'm going to use a reciprocating saw without a blade to get this thing to vibrate so all the air bubbles can come to the top and we will be left with the fewest amount of imperfections so just hold it to the side of your mold and just all right folks perfect opportunity to start working on the barrel here one thing we got to do real quick is cut a hole on top and the bottom once that's done we're going to start laying on some thinset give it the first coat to just conceal the metal and then after that maybe build up an extra quarter inch that way it has that cement look and a round function so with that being said let's get messy [Music]
