This project is the outcome of turning lemons into lemonade. My original plan was to make a Modern, DIY Stone sink out of a Rock from my property. But when it cracked I had a light bulb moment. I decided to take the idea behind kintsugi (Japanese for Gold Joinery) and epoxy the stone back together an gold leaf the cracks to make a one-of-a-kind piece and one of my favorite projects to date on Modern Builds. If you make a Stone Sink for yourself I'd love to see it! Thanks for watching :)

MODERN BUILDS
Hi, My name is Mike Montgomery and I'm a MAKER; a designer, builder, and full-time content creator. Accessibility is my focus with Modern Builds, not simply accessibility of designs, but accessibility in materials, information, and projects themselves. I've focused on creating furniture and DIY projects that are simple enough that any beginner maker can accomplish, yet interesting enough that any expert might be inspired. Building and making is becoming less and less of an exclusive hobby and profession. My goal is to reduce that separation even further.
