[Mr Tiler]

9 inch! what width are the stone?

it's 40mm thick

 

[Mr Tiler]

daayyymmmmm!!!!! would love to feel the weight of those badboys! I bet even if the adhesive fails they wont be moving anywhere! lol... was it the same method for laying 10mm? and it looks to me like you somehow had to lower the floor level to accommodate the tiles?

Method is simple- put plenty of adhesive, drop stone slab and dance on it... :lol:

hi jonny. its jura limestone.. the shower place is fixed.. posting pics soon.... but this weekend i make another "human cnc" job:

import the roughly slaps direct from the quarry in south tirol. the stone is called "seiser basalt". its a very special story about the stone. they found it random by building a cable car station. they cut out the blocks bevore the station was built and thats it. limited edition.


calibrate it with the cs60.


milled edges with the easy bevel. yes, its possible to make edges exclusive with an dry or wet grinder but i want perfect angles and a technical look like machine produced.


i cut the armour channels with a 5mm thick blade also in the cs 60


making the cut outs and the drip off area with my hand-operated center


the result.. the stone is not darkend yet and the skirting boards are leaving on this day.






this was my first kitchen top.. not a easy one. i think i lost 1 year of my live time because of inner fear.

being a human waterjet.. last week i convince my customers to an idea i want to to for long time. i make a few designs on my cad and we decided to choose one version. we make the same radius on the edges like the basin has. so now i have to wait for the emperador filling material.
