We wanted to build a concrete countertop so when the new house needed an outdoor sink we jumped at the chance. As we built the form we had to remember that we were building the negative space– all the parts that would not be concrete. It was a mind-bender.
The surface was pretty smooth right out of the Melamine mold. David spent hours finish-sanding it with diamond abrasive pads to expose some aggregate, then sealed with wax.
Rob gave us welding lessons to make the steel base. The bottom shelf is cypress.
