Default Granite table top advice

Sounds to me like you solved your problem


At this point I'll probably go with Jack and Lawrence's suggestion using
cleats glued to the granite.

I wasn't sure whether using adhesive on cleats would provide enough of a
surface area bond to hold the top in place over the long haul, but, as Andy
pointed out, the top is heavy enough to stay in place, and it shouldn't take
much to keep it from shifting. I hate to take the chance on drilling the
granite and having it break ... sleeping with the client has its advantages,
but may not survive that.

Thanks for the replies and suggestion. Now that I've got the out of the way,
it's full steam ahead on the table ...SWMBO and I are headed for the lumber
yard this morning to find some thicker stock for legs that will suit her
design.

I am looking forward to mixing wood and stone in this project, as well as to
getting that piece of granite out of my way in the shop.

Thanks again!
