Nice job Greg. You'll be selling 'granite surface plates' from the back of your truck next Big Grin
I'd love a video of moving and installing the countertop Greg, but only a successful result.
I don't know what my wife would think, seeing me in tears in front of my laptop. Rotfl
Certainly I'd want a timber reinforcing that bit were I to move it !

Good luck, hope that it works out.

I got the shiny camera out for this shot. One section polished out to 3000 grit. The real shine comes when its sealed and waxed.

I use a squeegee to remove cuttings as you work, at about 800 grit the squeegee starts to dry the surface, at 3000 its like wiping glass.

A closeup of the finish, the concrete isn't perfect but should be fine.

Well all I can say is quality job DroolDrool that looks really good and hard to believe its concrete, I am glad it worked out in the end Smile, I was getting worried at one point.
It looks fragile for moving so I dont suppose you will totally relax until everything is in its final resting place, looking forward to seeing the finished job.

Cheers Mick

Excellent Greg. Are you going into business making these commercially?

Andrew
In a simple word, NO. The odd one is alright but far too much work and time for what people will pay.
