To make the stone: I didn't take measurements as I made this so hopefully these measurements will work (PM if you find I'm off a bit). Using your jig saw, cut the following out of your foamboard:
Front: 28" X 28"
Back: 28" X 28"
Top: 31" X 18"
Bottom: 28" X 18"
Side A: 29" X18"
Side B: 29" X 18"
T-Brace side A: 28 1/2 " X 12"
T-Brace side B: 28 1/2 " X 12"
T-Brace center: 15" X 15"
In the first picture you will get an idea of what you are building. You are building a box with a center support. First cut out, with your Dremel, a 1/2" deep channel in the T-Brace sides so the T-Brace center will snug up into it. Glue together with foamboard adhesive.
Using the assembled T-Brace, trace out onto the inside bottom of the box. Cut another 1/2" channel with the Dremel. Glue in place.
Start to assemble, but do not glue yet, the box (use painter's tape to hold in place). Be sure that the top of the box is being nicely supported. File down if needed.
