Making Concrete Countertops Flickr Set

Making Concrete Countertops Flickr Set Here's a very interesting photo set that nicely documents the process of making concrete countertops (previously) for the kitchen. There are 64 pics in the set so you get a pretty good idea of what's involved in the project, including the mixing, pouring, grinding and subsequent application of a finishing sealer/enhancer. It at least looks to be a doable project for the brave novice, but the authors seem to know a lot of the tricks and techniques that usually come from experience (or maybe just a lot of pre-work research).

    I did a countertop and bar top for a good friend, and now I am working on some furniture.
    Glad I found your site

    Thanks David! How did the countertop and bar turn out?
