I am wanting a simple table base making from Stainless steel.
Legs at 2.5" box. Top frame at 1.5" box. O/A size 55" x 32" and 27" high.
This would be a mitred rectangular top frame with the legs welded in each corner,
Caps to the feet.
I can send a rough drawing in needed.

I am after a ball park price.

Is that in brushed (satin polished) with all the welds dressed? If so bite their hands off, that's a steal. If it's just out of mill finish with the weld burn taken out it's still a fair price.

I presume this was cleaned up but not polished. TBH I want a more natural look.
I will be making an Oak top, which will cover the frame but bare down on the legs. The top will be 6 planks of 5.5" wide Oak, with cross members underneath to support the planks and locate it within the frame. This will be ex 1.5" thick.

I have some stainless trim pieces for a car I'm restoring with some holes drilled in which need filling. I can do polishing - any contacts you've come across who could do this?

Please be very careful,trim pieces for a car,i take it they are thin and could easily be distorted.
