Start by building your concrete forms.  Blaine built these on a metal surface to make it easier to remove when he was done. 

Prepare the concrete: Mix (and dye if using) your concrete to prepare to fill the forms.

03

Fill the forms and level them out, helping to remove any bubbles or voids that may be in there.

After the concrete is set and has dried you can remove the forms.

05

Prep the wood bench top, we used angle brackets to hold it all together on the underside of the bench.

Now we start assembling the bench.
