This is one of the hottest packages in our catalog, Fabricating Stone for the Do-It-Yourselfer - Volume 1: Profiling & Polishing and Volume 2: The Undermount Sink. This package includes both the videos you will need to make a beautiful work of stone that will last nearly forever. We sell all the tools you will need for this project in our online catalog and we are also offering those to you for the same prices we sell them to our construction accounts.

Volume 1: Profiling & Polishing

This is the first in our series of acclaimed "how to" videos. This video teaches the layperson how to fabricate a piece of stone. It demonstrates which tools to use and how to use them when fabricating a piece of granite slab. By fabricate I mean to change the edge from square to whichever contour you want, then polishing the newly ground edge. This is NOT a 6 hour video compressed down to 32 minutes, but rather a start to finish project which shows how almost anyone can make a beautiful edge on their stone in very little time with the help of the right tools.

In this video, we took a piece of 2 cm thick granite which is 5’ long and a little over 2’ deep. The first thing we show is how to cut the piece using a poor mans rail saw. We then laminate a couple of the edges to give the stone the appearance of being twice as thick as it really is.

We proceed to fabricate the front & side edge into a 45 degree beveled edge. The new shape was cut into the top of the slab on what will be the front & side edges of a bathroom counter. We then polished the newly ground edge to match the finish on the face of the highly polished slab. There is no need to bevel or polish the other 2 sides as they will be against walls and will have backsplashes above the cut edges. We show the polishing process in agonizingly great detail. This part of the DVD is actually pretty boring, but we didn’t want to skip through it as polishing is a slow process. Finally we show you how to rod the slab for strength so it won’t break during transportation or installation.

One disclaimer I want to say is that the edge design used on this piece is a 45 degree bevel. This is the easiest shape to work with as it is all on one plane. You can still apply all the techniques of this video to other shapes like a demibullnose (aka radius or 1/4 turn), a full bullnose (a half turn), an ogee profile (does a little dipsy doodle) or any other profile you want. There are lots of shapes to choose from, but I have listed the 4 most popular ones here. Go with whatever your tastes are and we will help you make a beautiful masterpiece at a fraction of the cost you would pay to have it done for you. Not to mention that you will have the pride of making something that will last forever.

Volume 2: Undermount Sink

In this second video we take the slab that we put the contoured and polished edge on and show the start to finish process for fabricating it to accomodate an oval undermount sink. We also show the process for fabricating a rectangular undermount sink with rounded corners. This video teaches the layperson how to fabricate and polish the sinkhole, how to drill the spigot holes, how to mount and support the undermount sink and finally how to install the counter and backsplashes to a cabinet.

The sink we used for this video is the ceramic type sink which is actually adhered to the granite countertop. It is not the installation of the stainless undermount sink, which is far easier. This is NOT a 6 hour video compressed down to 32 minutes, but rather a 50 minute video which shows the completion of the counter project. This instructional DVD teaches almost anyone to fabricate an undermount sinkhole and to install a beautiful stone counter in very little time.

When you buy both of these together, you save 10%, plus pay the same shipping as you would if you bought just one video.
