A new Website for Slab-Fab-Studio plus other projects.

It is snowing on WordPress!

I just finished a remake of my Slab-Fab-Studio website.
I used a template design, then tweaked it to get just what I needed.
I wanted simplicity, user friendly navigation (good organization) and lots of pictures.
You can peruse the new website by clicking here.

Slab-Fab-Studio recently installed a retail counter for Chris McMillan’s new Dwellings store in Biltmore Park.
Shane Martin produced the counter carcasses. Slab-Fab-Studio did the ebony stained trim work, acid etched galvanized panels, and of course the concrete counter tops.

Our good friend , Ben Schlaefer, found an antique door he wanted to turn into a head board for his bed.
Ben did the nasty job of stripping off many layers of paint . Slab-Fab-Studio cut the door to size. Then welded up a bracket and bracing to tie the new head board to Ben’s existing bed frame.
This looks even better attached to the bed.

Slab-Fab-Studio is getting a bit experimental (for us) with a new “inset” slab design.
The idea is to pour a perimeter of concrete, then inset another contrasting pour of concrete after the perimeter has cured enough. Here is a picture of the perimeter with the wire lathe showing, that will integrate the two slabs when both are poured. I polished the perimeter frame and exposed the aggregates. I plan to leave the interior, while a different color, unpolished , for further surface contrast.
I’ll let you know how the experiment works out.

Finally, I made up a logo for the biz. It’s not real deep, but it’s graphic enough to get the job done I think.
I needed something to ad to the magnetic signs I’ve ordered for my truck. Here’s what I came up with…
All you logo whiz’s might have some feedback for me. I’m not long term married to the graphic… just eloped on the quick.

Process picture… countertops set up and polished.

Here are some casts… farther along in the process.


The sink and return counter to the stove, polished with back splashes.

A small left side of stove counter with back splashes.

A detail of the sink cut out and faucet holes.

There were existing surface mounted water pipes we had to cast a channel in the back sides of the back splash for… turned out pretty cool!
