Thanked: 3215Been using this 3†pine board, measured across the sink and held in place with 2 small pieces of ¼ round molding nailed to the bottom at the sink edge.I cut two ¼ in v groves at each end with a v gouge to channel water back into the sink, but a cross cut dado with a saw would work just as well.
Beveled the edges and sprayed a coat of clear lacquer on it. Two 3†X 3†squares of rubber drawer liner protect the sink and weld it in place. Another 3†x 8†drawer liner makes a non-skid surface to hold stones.
Cost about a buck and been using it for over a year, I think it will last a while… then I’ll make another.
It’s just a board, doesn’t have to be water proof just let it dry, don’t over think it.

Thanked: 247need tips on making a sink bridge
Here is mine. I scratched the trex idea when I found this red oak scrap in my garage. Free is nice.
My sink has a double lip so I shaped the main board to fit then added two anchors to really make it tight. No rubber needed.
Notice how the screw point is sticking out just a bit? This lets me press it in place during a test fit.
Flip it over and screw it down.
Total build time 20 minutes. Used jig saw and cordless drill/driver.Last edited by unit; 08-31-2012 at 06:45 PM.

Thanked: 3215Whoa, now that is a great looking rock, love that grain. Is that like a Chinise Washita? is it a fast cutter? I must admit, I have bought some Arks mostly for thier beauty. I love those rust and purple marbled stones.
A small grove on the front side will channel water and slurry in to the sink and prevent it rolling back on you. A 1/16 in. chisel or a hand saw kerf is all you need.
Nice bridge, one of the thing I found is with a wide bridge my hands hit the bridge with thin stones, so I had to raise the stone with a holder or narrow the bridge, not a problem you will have with that cinder block.Last edited by Euclid440; 09-09-2012 at 03:47 PM.
