I am rubbish at chilling out and doing nothing, I more often than not tidy up the garage and wash the van, I made a vase out of travertine the other week fixed the toilet seat yesterday, it had a dodgey hinge. Today I'm putting. A best mans speech for next month on to crib cards, might make another vase this afternoon!

What did you 'glue' it with? Adhesive?

Silicone, not the best to be honest, it has worked though. I used sandstone grout to fill the edges and it's a bit dark, I'll use jasmine or limestone on the next one. I made it as a customer said they might be interested in one so I had to see how long it would take to get a value for it. One thing I would say is a good quality stone is essential, this trav was a bit holey, which made the edges look a bit untidy after bullnosing. Not bad for a first go.
