[QUOTE="Old Mod, post: 933215"] Very nice Geoff, thank you. It does look really good. Who finished it, Chris? Sounds like you enjoyed the experience, which is kool. The Mapei Ultralite, is that a rapid? The cut where it went off line, was it scribed in one motion or two? I’ll mention one piece of advice tho, not just for you, but for anyone trying this for the first time. The handling is by far the most important aspect of the work, so when you’re placing a piece on the table for fabrication, walk it to the table on its longest edge as you appear to have done. However, don’t then lift it on to the table, lean it against the table and pivot it against the table by picking it up from the bottom edge til it’s flat and then slide it on. It’s a lot lighter that way too. You run the risk of fracturing it every time it’s carried on its back, which is effectively what you do by physically lifting it on. Use the table as a pivot point to support the centre, and slide rather than lifting it, eliminating as many risks as possible gives you a less stressful install. Sound s like you really enjoyed it, which is half the battle. Well done mate. :):thumbsup: [/QUOTE]
