Slate top table

This is a video of a Slate top table I made from bits I had picked up over the years and were getting in the way at home. The two blocks I`m using as the Pedestals are Oak, bits leftover from two columns on either side of a doorway of a house. All the bits I have, would have been thrown away or I have asked permission to take them. Always ask, you never know. Hope this inspires you to make something, Cheers

Howdy from Texas! Great Vid. Thanks for sharing. I have a couple of pieces of slate from an old pool table I want to make into a coffee table and end tables. This gives me a starting point.

Hiya. What were those abrasive pads? I can think of loads of users for them. Did they work? I'm away to make a top for my vanity using slate. Final question. What did you seal it with? Thanks for posting your video. It's been helpful

Hi there, I brought the pads from Amazon, if you search diamond polishing pads, they come up straight away, they worked ok, you get what you pay for so if you are using them a lot, you might want to buy better quality ones, the sealer is Liberon natural stone sealer, hope this helps

Thanks for responding so quickly. That's a great help.
