Looks great, was actually thinking about doing something similar for my sharpening… damn, you beat me to it.

Very nice. The granite is a great idea. Beats the heck out of the old cookie sheet that I put my stones on so I don’t get my bench wet.

With regards to the scrap granite idea. In our area, we have a Habitat for Humanity thrift store. They sell mostly donated construction materials. I noticed that they had small pieces of granite in there a while back. If you have one of those stores in your area, it might be worth checking out.

Oooo turns out theres one of those thrift stores near, me, amma check it out this weekend. They have a directory to see if theres one near you.

The “Restore” store is the Habitat for Humanity store that You are talking about. I posted on another forum about router tables tops that are made in some way. I have been going to ours here in Holland, and came out with some good ideas. By the way, Very nice sharpening station, James.

-- Saved, and so grateful, consider who Created it ALL!!!

Looking good James.
That top is a smart idea.
I’m tired of the big cookie sheet under my wet grinder.
I think one of those is on the list.

Thanks for sharing.

Love the station, looking into the granite tops, and was wondering if 2” was a little much. From what I understand most kitchens are 3/4”. Any thoughts?
