More plinth questions

Still thinking about plinth material ...... what about soapstone. It is very heavy and just about as dead a stone as there is, you tap it and it just go's thud!!. I can get it at a local stone yard 1 1/4 “ thick and epoxy it together or use polyurethane adhesive, this would add a rubber like layer between the slabs. What about using it for a platter??

For all of you out there rolling your eyes ..... humor me ... please

The soapstone that you are talking about is called Corian(from Dupont Chemical). Very popular material for the kitchen counter-top and bathroom.
Actually some turntable manufacturers had already used it in their turntable(Mapplenoll, Well-Tempered?....and may be old Kenwood).
Yes, it is a good material for plinth but it is quite hard to work with.
But if you have the skill and tool. Go for it.
