I've made around 7 concrete countertops so far. Some came out great, some not great. Cheng has some books and dvd's at the following:

Personally, I would recommend buying the books and dvd's.
Also, you need to realize before you make the journey that concrete countertops are cool but they are somewhat fragile. Fragile in the sense that you cannot allow citrus base cleaning products to sit on the surface for any period of time as it will eat into the concrete.
They are very cheap to make, but acquiring the polisher, polishing pads, sink knock-out, etc. can be expensive.
