Granite top project

Jun 20, 2014 5 Replies

My local restore (Habitat for Humanity) had a lot of scrap granite, many



2' x 2' and a 1.5" thick or so, $5.

Seems like there should be a small profit project in there somewhere.



I have no shortage of ideas for that, but am clueless about what might sell for a small profit. I have a marble end table I've made and there is granite tile in the kitchen, so I know it makes an indestructible top and have a clue in how to work with it.



I tend to make one offs that I find interesting but wouldn't have commercial appeal. What might be a nice project for this and the stack of cypress I have?



Seems like Target and IKEA have relatively cheap kitchen carts covered:

And lots of stone end tables in the discount furniture stores.



Maybe something outdoors?


Granite frame work assembly for a high speed low cutting force CNC machine? Talk about dimensionally stable over a wide range of working environments. . LOL.

I have a table on the deck made of cement blocks and a large tombstone, I don't believe that it has moved a millimeter, no matter what!

How about a granite dog house? A one-up on the three little pigs.

There is a reason surface plates are usually made of granite. LOL.
