Non-Traditional Grind Box Coping
« on: February 21, 2025, 09:18:37 AM »
I was wanting to make a box, but im stuck in daydreaming mode lol. So i was originally just going to make another box using the traditional method of plywood and angle iron as coping. I was thinking how cool it would be to have marble, but that's very unrealistic for me.

Have any of you guys made boxes using different materials? Would love to see them

.not sure about the translation but concrete garden borders are pretty good if you want to feel something while grinding.
Kinda similar to pool coping
You might need proper joints in between, some rubbing to shape it correctly and some salba sauce to make it more durable but it's a cheap alternative

I haven't made any but seen repurposed granite kitchen countertop benches.
