I thought so too and that's the way I was going to do it until Mrs. Irish and I were watching Chip Gaines on Fixer Upper the other night and he was pouring some in place. They turned out damn nice. That's what got me thinking about just pouring them in place.

They do sell form liners which can be used multiple times to give you a raw edge look. I did these and just tacked them up on the inside of the forms with a few finish nails.
I would suggest a small electric concrete mixer, buy one and resale it or rent one. Nothing is added to the counter top mix however we did use chicken wire in mine and it worked great. It mixes up very wet, like pour it out of a 5 gallon bucket wet. Let them set up a week before you wreck the forms. Once cured they will still try to stick to the slab on the finish side. I used all kinds of pry bars on a couple, and laying a 2x4 flat as a beater block and a sledge works pretty well. I warn you they can crack one of mine did. I would not try to do 1 solid pour around the sink. I did and mine cracked on that narrow front edge. After all this -concrete stain however you like and seal it. If all this is too much My buddy owns a concrete business and custom builds these. I sure he would do it for you. PM me and I will sen you my # if I can help


I've seen that expensive concrete, but most of the tutorials I've seen they are just using the Quikcrete 5000. It's less than $5 a bag.

haleyville al,
Quickcrete 5000 is what I have seen used. Have a friend does his. He poured in place. He formed his then used a sander to vibrate the edges and tops. Hit it wit some color. Sanded a little then sealed them. You can get form boards in about any style edge you want. When I remodel our kitchen I'm going concrete for practice before we build our house.
