Not that hard. I've done quite a few where I cast them upside down in my shop and then install them like you would granite. This is the first time I did a cast in place and it turned out as good as the pros.

They completely look professional. I've seen people do it.. but they end up with square edges and don't look nearly as nice. I'm going to have to figure this out for my bar build.

I am struggling to find a beer drip tray that will work. We want a countertop stainless tray that drains to the left. We do not have room to center the drain hole because the beverage cooler comes up to just under the bottom of the countertop. 28" or 30" wide would be nice. Anyone know a source?

American Coffee Urn Mfg. (acubarequipment "dot" com) has a 5" x 30" surface mount drip tray (WITHOUT DRAIN) for $54.11 (plus shipping) on their website (they also have a 28" version)... If you could find someone to weld on a threaded bung, you could put the drain anywhere you want...

I received a quote ($126.00) from them for a 28" left hand drain. Have you seen any of their products in person?

 

[BungBrewing]

No, I've only seem them on-line... Maybe you might want to purchase a small one with no drain to see the quality first hand....

 

[BungBrewing]

If they really build in the USA like the say $70 extra does seem a little steep to simply move a drain....

I bought one of these trays and a drain kit. drilled a hole and installed the drain. I was able to crank down on the nut enough to dimple the drain into the tray so it was flush on top.
