There is alot of info out there in regards to creating concrete tops and sinks. A good place to start is Fu Tung Chengs books, Buddy Rhodes has some great how to books, there are Youtube videos, etc, etc. Lots of training available in different parts of the country. I would recommend taking a class or two, then experimenting for a while before you attempt an integral sink like this one. It's not a DIY type of project, but with some practice and basic knowledge can be done by a non-professional so long as you keep your expectations realistic.
