heres an idea for smaller slabs.
consider it a mini/poor mans version of the brent.
get some plywood, and cut a square or rectangle.
screw 1x2's or 2x2's to three sides of it.
whatever your inside dimensions are cutinserts of that
size out of different thicknesses of masonite.glue
canvas to one and use it for the top.use the different
thicknesses to create your slab thickness.
roll with a piece of of pipe(resting on the 1x2's).
it works great but its murder on the wrists.
the price we pay for being poor.(i eventually svaed
enough for a real mechanical slab roller,what a
relief.
I could whip up some plans if you need them. let me
know.
