Hannibal from the A-Team would love this part, because this is where your plan comes together. It's also the easiest part. Simply put the wooden base on the tabs, and place your slate on top of the wooden base. Voilà -- table.

Options And Upgrades

Sealing or painting the wooden base: After six months of use, it turns out that this isn't really necessary.

Mounting the tiles: If you enjoy making life hard on yourself you can mount and grout the tiles. In my opinion, if you were careful with your cuts, this isn't necessary. I've been using my modified table for six months and the tiles have stayed pretty much where I put them. Also, it's turned out to be advantageous to remove the tiles for washing.
