We actually used construction adhesive over 1/2 plywood laminated directly to the cabinets. We used a 2x4 clamped to the cabinets to have a temporary shelf for the granite edge to sit on while the adhesive set up (about 2 hours). Thanks!

Cool How Too,... But how did you install the granite front edge? Did you just adhesive it to the cabinet fronts or did you install some cement board underneath it? Not sure how to do that step THANKS

Stephanie you are a "G". Great video! One of the best how to videos i have seen. Much better than so of the dudes on here.I wish you had "how to" videos for other thinks in my life. Great job keep up the good work.

Located those marble grinding disks. I was warned against using a grinder faster than 4,000 RPM's and was told to use a polisher specific for the job at hand, and one that sprayed water while polishing. But the granite I am thinking of using, looks exactly like what you used.

The grout float....love your description of it: "Tile Grout Applicator Squeegee Thingy" The TGAST.

Thanks for making and posting this video and I'd encourage you to make more. Very nicely done.

Great video. Thanks for sharing, especially the granite tile edge grinding. Where can one find those various grit "marble" grinding disks". Nice job, well doen.
