Could be a sink in my future. Or a huge bowl for tumbles.....

Richardsons used to have some petwood sinks from overseas somewhere, $$pendy but cool.
I think that the only thing I might do different would be to follow up the big blade on the concrete cutter with a smaller one on a grinder to get a little more volume. I looked as some of his other videos from the tiny house project and the man is quite talented, the way he did the shower tiles to mimic old school block construction is superb.

I had thought about that too. Use a 4" bladr in an angle grinder. Then a 4" grinder blade to hollow further. Once volume is complete, use granite pads to polish entire bowl. Then make a shabby chic stand and display tumbles...

Good job though. 4 hours to form the sink then another 12 hours smitten with embuggerance of detail and finishing.

rocknrob: There was a shop in Portland, don't know if it's still there called Kenny and Zukes who made the absolute best pastrami sandwiches I have ever had. The problem is every restaurant thinks their sandwich is worth $20 now and seldom makes the grade. Nov 12, 2024 9:53:31 GMT -5

rocknrob: So, to end my thread on sandwiches. If you find your sandwich worthy of that price by all means keep going to that restaurant (chewie)
