Abstract
A solidifying liquid is placed into a mold having sides and a planar bottom. A plurality of separators are attached to the bottom of a support grid. The support grid is then placed onto the mold, with positioning projections extending through holes in the support grid. The liquid is then allowed to set, forming a work surface having a flat top surface and support ribs on its bottom surface.
