Members Wild Bill46 Posted October 1, 2015 Members Report Posted October 1, 2015 My Granite counter top slab was roughly 18"x 24" I got it for next to nothing, at one of those Granite/Marble establishments. its 1-1/4" thick (standard counter top thickness, I beleive) ? even got to pick the color I liked best ! I brought it home on the back of my Harley ! I have a 3/4" plywood/w/-laminated masonite top on my desk, and I've had Zero troubles with it there. I'm of the opinion thicker is better ! Good luck with your choice. Wild Bill46 Quote
mlapaglia Posted October 1, 2015 Report Posted October 1, 2015 I use a 3" thick tombstone which is perfect because try as you might, you can't beat it to death. Get it...death...beat.... The other thing to consider is: Free = Good Tombstone = Good Free + Tombstone = Nirvana Nirvana? Isn't that where Pat Sajak stands? Get it? Near Vanna? Sorry but you started it.

Members Wild Bill46 Posted October 4, 2015 Members Report Posted October 4, 2015 Oops, Wrong direction, as opposed to my dry humor. Sorry Colt, No personal indignation intended toward anyone ! Quote
Members Hawk Scarbrough Posted October 14, 2015 Members Report Posted October 14, 2015 The thickness needed depends a lot on how hard you plan to hit it, and what's beneath it of course. I use a 3" thick tombstone which is perfect because try as you might, you can't beat it to death. Get it...death...beat.... The other thing to consider is: Free = Good Tombstone = Good Free + Tombstone = Nirvana You are sick. I like that in a person. Quote
