Concrete Countertops DIY (Instructional DVD) featuring Fu-Tung Cheng

The people that say this is nothing more than an infomercial are most likely also the hyper sensitive people that cry that an entire feature length movie is a Pepsi commercial if they see a can of soda sitting on a table for three seconds. Three, and no more than four times were there any break in the instruction to mention available products ( this is a business owner making an instructional video, so why would you ever not think that he may do something crazy like... oh I don't know... quickly mention HIS available products!!) and after he mentioned his products as an option, he mentioned OTHER ways to do the process without using his products!I am an advanced DIY'er however far from a professional, and I learn better from seeing a process done rather than reading about it. If you have made concrete projects before or are a seasoned professional in this field, then this DVD is not for you. This is for someone like me who has zero, to very little knowledge about making concrete items. I originally bought his book with DVD "concrete countertops made simple" and while that helped a lot, I wanted to see the entire project done in very specific detail from start to finish and that's what I was able to see, and this instructional DVD really drove it all home. For me, after reading the book which comes with a much shorter instructional DVD, in addition to watching this DVD, I now feel 100% confident in the multiple concrete projects I currently have under way. I have spent HOURS watching endless videos on YouTube on how to make concrete countertops... please, DON'T waste your time like I did and just go straight to this professional! Couldn't recommend this DVD enough!

The DVD gives you the gist of how to make a counter top, but doesn't teach you how to install it or how to conceal seams that the cast in place leaves. Also, half the video is Fu-Tung pushing his products rather than teaching what the DVD advertises: building counter tops. I feel let down by the DVD because I did some counter tops withou any training and expected this DVD to answer some of my questions, but it turned out to be a uninformative sales pitch. This is a more scathing review than the DVD deserves. For someone with no clue what they're doing this is a good jumping off point.

He definitely just pushes his own stuff.Home depot has a decorative concrete book from sunset.... maybe u can get it from Amazon too. Totally recommend that.

We used this disc along with the Cheng materials and books when making our own concrete countertop. It was very helpful, especially if you have never worked with concrete before like us. The DVD is good because you can see things being done rather than just a snapshot like in the book. We really needed both though (books and DVD).

Great companion to the book, we were able to complete our outdoor kitchen following these guides

This is one of the best books around to both inspire you and give you detailed info on making your own concrete countertops.

This DVD is not a stand alone product, it gives you a good high level overview of the basics. What really bothered me was that Mr. Cheng constantly pitched his new products throughout the DVD. The DVD did help and make the process clearer then reading the book alone.

Great to deal with AAA+++
