20150528 - The Basics

If I'd known how hard it was to cut and especially drill granite, I think I might've just ponied up the £400 that the gravestone man wanted for making me some new bases for my loudspeakers!
Just waiting for the glue to dry on the tee-nuts on this side, then another eight to glue on to the other side and they're done.
As for the tee-nuts - I wish I'd ordered the ones I found on t'internet. I had to cut off 64 little spikes from these as I don't think hammering them into the granite would have worked very well.

I just hope the holes are in the right places - if they don't fit after all this (nearly a week in the making), I'll be pretty unhappy! There might even be tears.

What's more, they're the wrong colour. Hope they take paint ok!

I hope they're worth all the effort!

They look good, well constructed Phillip.

But think how worthwhile doing your own project is and the praise that will be bestowed on you and not the headstone maker when complete...you may even receive orders from friends. 😉
