I'm going to move the granite with my tractor so it's "technically" a tractor project...
Anybody cut, edged and polished their own granite?* Am I crazy to try?* I've got a lot of experience with tile, wood and metal, it looks like stone takes a little bit from each.
Long story short, we need a countertop for a small vanity.* We've ordered a couple but, they've shown up broken and haven't really been the granite my wife wanted, just something she was ok with.* We've got a scrap piece from when we had the counters done at the last house that's big enough for this job and I'm thinking I'll just do it myself.* I have most of the tools already, just need a couple hundred dollars worth of additional stuff but, the countertops we were buying are $190 so, it's really money ahead in the long run if I can do it since we still have another bathroom and a kitchen to do.
What am I missing?
