I’ve seen pictures of some pretty dishes out hones. I have always imagined that they would be very soft. I guess if the concrete was smooth-ish for concrete, and crouching or bending over it could give you a lot of ability to really push down as well.

My everday cuttting board in the kitchen was made by my Uncle. To get it flat he went out to the concrete bridge by his shop stood on it and grabbed his freinds car bumper to be pulled accross.

I'm sure that actually works pretty well, assuming of course you have a nice flat slab to work with.

I love this thread, plain 'ole just gettin' her' done, right here. Love it, save your diamond plates and sandpaper, wear out the city sidewalk instead.

I can vouch for this working. I did this on a Jnat also. 40 grit SiC powder is a good bridge to further flattening.
PS. That thread title was a bit scary
