FREE GRANITE SURFACES

[TALLNDN]

Even if this has been posted before, it probably ought to be posted again:  I recently moved, but when my stuff arrived, my granite block had somehow "disappeared".   So I went to a local granite / marble countertop shop, told the guy my problem, and he even helped me dig through his scrap pile.  Wound up with a lovely 26" x 18" x 1 3/8" perfectly flat  polished granite tooling surface ABSOLUTELY at no charge.  The guy even helped me put it in the back of my truck. While there, I picked up a couple of smaller pieces for use in tight spaces and so forth.  Even if you think your local shops might cooperate, it's worth a try to find out - no?

Completely agree.  I have been to my local countertop shop on several occasions. Most recently to pickup 12 oval sink cutouts for the classes I hold in my shop.  They always tell me, "take as much as you want".  They have piles of off-cuts everywhere.  The end customer already paid for it.

I got my marble block from a house that was being renovated.  It was sitting out at the curb to be picked up for trash.  Same idea - from the other end of things??
