Anyone here done or know much about the concrete counter tops?

I've done one in my wife's pottery studio. Pretty plain. Pictures
available if you want to see it. Lot of heavy work, no matter how you do
it.

Also, several years ago, I got the bug to do countertops in the kitchen. I
envisioned a counter cast top down with a nice half-round bullnose on the
front. I actually made a small piece using a 2" PVC pipe split in two for
the bullnose form. Looked pretty good, about 2 1/4" thick. The piece I
made was about 36" x 30" and weighed 180#. I never could get the corners
worked out to my satisfaction and was under pressure from my wife, so I
moved on to another type of counter.

i made a throwing table for my wife's ceramics work too. rolled edge, flat
top that is smooth were design criteria. the edges look rough, so you'll
want to think about that in your planning.

you can use air or water powered tools to polish the top. calibre stone
tools has a center feed water tap air grinder using diamond pads for not too
much money. look into headstone supply places for other places.

look around on here for some tools:
