The colors... well I had hope to have it look like a sliced geode, and then I had some small shells I threw in and then found some glass..... Well, it will work just fine for leaning elbows at the counter. I did find that polishing should be held off a few days. Next day polishing seems to have pulled the matrix from around the sands. I had a pretty slick surface when I flipped it, just wanted to see what a diamond pad would do to it. I may polish it again once it hardens up a bit. I haven't had time to figure if I should acid stain or hydra stone it. Dorothy keeps telling me "less is more". I've not done this type of stacked mix before and wasn't sure of the outcome. Just used some welded road wire I found around the other shop at the house for reinforcement. At 2" thick, I'm not that worried about it. gene ec-Indy

My transistion has been a back breaker. I am just starting to see some daylight. Pulling myself away from installs of decorative concrete, and focus totally on training and tech support. I still think I'm 20 years old and can work the 18 hour days. I do it but it ain't no fun and I find myself getting out of bed slower. I'm starting to build a good group of installers that I would do anything for. It's good to see guys (and gals) take pride in their work and turn out some really nice projects. I feel their excitement when things go right and they start seeing just how much money can be made in this field. As far as the top.... well I get pig headed sometimes and made time for it. It didn't take too much time really as I would work an hour here and an hour there. A square table top is next on my bar top table. I'll come up with something weird. Once that's done I'm switching to thin overlay tops. These will just be a build up for the next show I do. Hoping to get at least a 20'x20' booth next year and have area installers man it. Every lead goes through me and I'll hand them out. Of course the working guys get first choice. gene ec-Indy
