Here's an ambitious project for you: building a countertop -- from scratch. It's easy if you're using concrete, per Fu-Tung Cheng's "Concrete Countertops Made Simple" (The Taunton Press; $21.95). The book and DVD guide explain in detail the seven-step process, from making a template to installation. Color photos accompany the instructions along with "tool boxes" that show which materials to use. Why concrete, you ask? It's timeless, earthy, affordable and different.
