Jumbo Granite Surfacing Plate

A couple three years back I saw a granite surfacing up for auction somewhere near Boston. The thing was 6 feet wide, 12 feet long and a couple of feet thick I think. I remember at the time thinking that it would have made an extraordinary glue-up surface. You needed a rigger to go get it (pickup only) but it never sold at something like a $1000 starting price. That would have been the mother-of-all-ScarySharp surfaces too.

Granite runs at 225 lbs/cubic ft. 6 x 12 x 2 x225=32400 pounds=16.2 tons. It'd be a fun job to bring it down the stairs to the basement shop.

On the other hand, it'd make a swell tombstone.

When I worked for an Airline I brought home a scrapped Beoing front windshield for a honing plate. It is about 3/4 inch thick, dead flat and most important for me, not cumbersome. jesse
