I wanted to see what stainless steel would look like so here is my prototype. I'm learning to TIG weld. Instead of spending all that money on granite I bought a new tool.

That's 16 ga glued to plywood. The front edge is all welding (no brake). I kept the distortion down and eliminated the need to back purge by clamping it to an aluminum block front and back.

Grinding and polishing turns out to be massively more work than I anticipated.
