"So I've got all four of my feet prepared, I made sure they?re all similar in height, I don't want any of them to be too much bigger than the other. And now I'm going to take my scoring tool and I'm going to score the slab where each of these four feet is going to go. I'm going to get it nice and goopy, you want a good connection. And then you need to score the side of each foot that's going to connect to the slab. And then you just firmly push that onto the piece. Now if you want, you can go ahead and smooth down the edges of the feet. I think they look nice like this, so I'm not going to do that part. But again that's just up to personal preference. So we're going to put all four feet on. And then once they're on there, we're going to let this dry slowly to set up. And once it's gotten set up enough, we can flip it over and see what our final form is going to look like."
