Well, I am nearing completion. Joel Bain, bainjs, built the box. I bought a bag of glass beads and a piece of glass for the "raft" in the swimming pool. The veneer looks much better in this picture than in person. We won't talk about my first veneering attempt.

The plastic jug is full of glass beads, the rubber mallet is for hitting the box to make the beads settle.
I screed, and screed, I don't think I can scree any more! Now to bring it upstairs and float the raft.
The box and beads weighs about 30#, the turntable another 30#. I have four Audio Quest sorbothane pucks under it. I think they will go flat!
