in retrospect... the sills probably didn't need to be so thick... and could have been a perfect "L" shape. But there is something so so satisfying about a massive chunk of concrete.
this is during the polishing process. very messy!
this piece is actually quite complicated. good thing i'm all right at math!
integral dish rack drain. i had a lot of frustrated fun designing and building this piece.
the lines on this piece always draw my attention and I would LOVE to someday do a stand-alone island with similar elements.
the closer hole is for the large spray faucet. The second and further is for the supporting dowel. the spray faucet is designed to be supported int a wall at some point along it's height. since this will be up against the kitchen window, a different mechanism had to be created.
Always plan ahead!
Not properly vibrated concrete. It was a thicker mix, and thus probably a lot stronger. It also meant it was harder to settle into voids and allow allow air-bubbles to pass through. While not appealing at first, this allows for more cement "fines" to be added in a darker tone during the polishing process. the end product being a more varied natural stone look.
love those lines!
I have since developed a MUCH tidier setup for polishing. Hind sight is 20/20!
