You mentioned that you should have done the staining and painting before sticking them in the concrete, actually I think you did it in the right order! I was going to stain the legs first but I couldn’t figure out how to let them dry after staining them without laying them down. Having them sticking out of the concrete solves that problem

You can sand it down a bit but I do find this makes the concrete look rough it impossible to get that shine back. Maybe cut out a piece of acrylic plastic and insert it into the bottom of the bucket? I usually cut my acrylic plastic with a hot knife it’s really easy.

The bucket has natural indents in it that the concrete forms to. Any tips to keep the concrete leveled on top?

When I stuck the legs in I made sure the the legs stuck out over the bucket about the same amount. It worked great 🙂 turned out level.

How do you make sure the dowel legs stay at the same angle? It feels like making this level would be impossible… I can already feel the stress

Oh weird. I honestly don’t remember it’s been so long. Maybe add a tiny bit of water at a time.

Oh no. I’m sorry to hear that. Was it a plastic bucket you used? I didn’t have any issues removing it. Just pulled on the legs and it came out. I know hardware stores sell a special spray that helps release concrete from a mold. I recommend using that.
