I want a good outdoor set up. Does anybody know anything about using granite for the drum. I can get what I need at the re-store for $10. I also have previous experience working with granite, and should have just enough tools to cut and drill. Thanks for any input.

Definitely doable, your supports will have to be capable of handling the weight is all. Ms Deville has a reinforced concrete platform that there is some Youtube video of out there http://www.speedbagforum.com/forums/...crete+platform

I drilled holes right through the granite to attach it to the mount. I also drilled holes through to mount the swivel. I got the drill bits from amazon. You have to use water and go slow when drilling. If you think you are going slow enough, you are probably still going too fast. Like 5 minutes per hole. I think I bought drill bits slightly larger than the bolts, since there is no wiggle room with granite. I currently have one granite outside, one inside, and another polished concrete outside. I can't imagine having anything else outside. They are all amazing to hit on.

Thanks so much for replying , Iam now looking forward to to using granite now of what you have said about it, my wooden drum has become warped due to moisture from the sandbags on top of it to reduce vibration , did u use square block of granite? And would it be possible to attach a pic of yours for inspiration
Thanks , Mark
