Fiberglass or ABS sink

Who are reputable maunfacturers and distributors of a fiberglass or of an ABS sink that would do the job of a stainless steel model?

The Delta ABS plastic sinks are really pretty nice. They're lightweight, but the plastic is thick enough that they're not flimsy, given adequate support, of course. I have a Leedal stainless steel sink at home, but in my current living situation I have a 6-ft. Delta sink that I got off Craig's list. I'm very happy with it. Stainless is more luxurious and my Leedal will handle larger trays. But ABS is fine, too. Your photographs will look the same with either one.

Build your sink from plywood and cover with West System epoxy.

I agree. I built mine with West Systems Epoxy 23 years ago and it is still going strong. Since I like a black sink, I added ground carbon to the epoxy. The advantage of black is the stains don't show.
