Default Granite table top advice

And you think thats going to work ! you have to be joking . Even if if gets
hit by a bloody meteorite it still is going to be your fault for putting it
where you did .....

The damn granite is SWMBO's, not mine, and has been leaning against the

wall
behind my miter saw for almost three years ... it would be par for the
course for me to break it now.

I took it out yesterday, laid it on a piece of contractor's paper and

traced
the outline so I could use the paper as a template for measuring, etc,

then
I put it back, all within view of SWMBO. No fear ... I am not going to so
much as touch it unless she's there.

Although I am a wee bit concerned about the 'support' surface area for the
granite if using the cleat idea, the nice thing about not using a full

blown
substrate to glue it to is that if it does break at some point I can just
build a wooden top and still have a nice table.

Be careful moving it. I broke the corner of a piece I had. :-(
