My daughter wants me to build her a Kitchen Island that will be approx
11' by 8' ( L shaped). It will hold a stove top and will have a back
splash behind it. On top of the back splash she wants to have a
granite Counter top. My concern is what is going to hold up the 1 foot
over hang that she wants to have. I am sure that I can make the back
splash approx 6" wide but what should I use to hold up the over hang?

I certainly don't claim to be a cabinet maker or solid surface guru,
but had some experience years ago in the metal trades. Quarter inch by
18 inch steel plate is about $150 for 8 foot lengths (google it). Have
a local shop or friend weld some brackets on it to attach it to your
cabinet frame to avoid tipping with the cantalever and you should be
able to dance on it. Hold it an inch or so back from the underside
edge of the granite and it is almost invisible. HTH
