    Has anyone besides this guy made concrete mill parts?

    I was just wondering if anyone knows of someone else besides this guy CNCBridges who has made concrete bases and tables? Oh yeah, for all you guys with X2's who don't already know better DON'T buy from that guy, he is just here to rip you off! But he seems to have good ideas on what a table and base like this should be like.

    I have some patents related to machine building using concrete. They are mostly focusing on how to reinforce the concrete to better handle tension loads, but are still interesting to read.

    My project is on hold until I move back to Norway this summer, and it will probably have to wait for some time, as I will have to get a place where I can set it all up and start new projects.

    I have a couple updated designs, and I might post them if anyone is interested. It is a long term project, so there wont be many updates on it.

    The other project comes from this link: Svenska ElektronikForumet • Visa tråd - Dunderklumpen R.I.P. [Ny film sid. 25] and it is in Swedish. I can however tell you that the machine has been taken apart (smashed to bits), as it was too heavy to move.

    If you are talking about epoxy granite, there are quite a few builds out there.
