As mentioned on rec.ww.
I will get some better pictures when I can move them outside as I did the topless photos. They are just too heavy for me to move by myself now. So, the more modest photos (with tops on) -- There is never a situation where having more rounds is a disadvantage Rob Leatham |

So, the more modest photos (with tops on) BTW, in the second picture, there is *nothing* on that top. What looks like a rectangular folded paper form is really a reflection of one of the shop light fixtures. -- There is never a situation where having more rounds is a disadvantage Rob Leatham |

Very nice. The granite goes well with your table design. Those things must be heavy with the granite tops. Maybe you can get Robatoy to help you move them. |

So, the more modest photos (with tops on) Love it! The top is gorgeous. And the curved corner pieces give an elegant look to what is a square box of drawers. And nicely executed, too. |

That's why only one is on the floor, my wife helped get it down from the assembly table to be able to see it from a normal viewpoint -- we decided to leave the other up there and move it to the back of the truck from the workbench. -- There is never a situation where having more rounds is a disadvantage Rob Leatham |

'k Ummmm.... well..... you see.... Hmmmm..... ok,.... OK, when you describe or sell these exquisite pieces, the slabs of rock look to me like "gabbro", which are considered "granitoid" but are not "granite" senso stricto. It's often referred to as "black granite". It adorns many of the sills on the drive-through windows at the In-n-Out Burger chain in CA. And lot's of other places too. Sorry, but I'm a geologist, know granites and related rocks, and like to keep the universe in order. -Zz |

.... Excellent work! Those came out beautifully. Curious how the tops attach. Is gravity sufficient? They are attached using attachment blocks similar to a wooden top. The attachment blocks are epoxied to the granite and screwed to the lifts (two on each side, one front and one back). I made attachment blocks angled with a slot to prevent squeeze-out from flowing onto the table stretchers. I located the tops, then epoxied the glueblocks on, screwing them into the top to get the best fit. I think I need to go to the chiropractor just looking at them. g They are definitely a two person lift. Using granite density estimates, the tops weigh about 60 pounds. The rest of the table probably comes in at about 35 to 40 pounds. ...Kevin -- There is never a situation where having more rounds is a disadvantage Rob Leatham |

The depth you get out of the polished granite and the contrast with the cherry definitely make it worthwhile.

The curves were my own, I played some with the radius to get what I thought looked good.

I epoxied four mounting blocks to the bottom and screwed them to the upper rails. I wanted to be able to remove the tops, so included an angle and channel to allow any squeeze-out to flow into the channel. That gave me the ability to epoxy the tops in place to get a tight fit.
