glad to hear it hold up well.....the global passage line is their best stuff too.
TheDon - have you ever seen a concrete countertop? I have a pretty cool book that inspired me (

I've made some test pieces but never really had the time to tackle a countertop yet....so I've decided to try an endtable first. It's pretty simple - buy some MDF board, build a form - and cast it face down. You can color the concrete, inlay cool stuff, come up with crazy shapes.....the possiblities are endless. You can also inlay stained-glass that maybe your fellow dieselhead produces?
Right now - I'm just thinking of a 20" square, 2" slab with a flat stone cast into the top - and I haven't resolved the legs yet. Not sure if I want concrete - as I'll have a freaking end table that weighs 200#.
Here's a pic of something I had in mind...
I REALLY want to try and cast a concrete fireplace/hearth/surround too...but that's further down on the project list.
