one final pic of all the bracing for the slab

thats all thats finished now...had to get to work on some belts

i still have to.....

cut the other piece of counter top to fit around the slab, when finished the slab will be centered front to back on the 2nd piece of the countertop and the slab will stick out about 3/4" above the surrounded countertop.

add shelving / lighting

add pegs for pegboard

will post more pics soon

when finished there will be 54" on the left side of slab and 24" on the right side of it
