    Wouldn't being a giant magnet be enough already?

    (I'm thinking the whole "Wrap a copper wire around a screwdriver and you magnetize the tip" thing...)

    But I agree, beautiful work again Chuck! I just want to see it dipped in acid, so the steel rusts, and the copper turns green, then wear parts of the copper back down to shiny... Then it would be perfect!

    Nice work there.
    What is the finish on that counter top? Maybe dual-action sander with 320 grit?

    Thanks....

    Finish description we came up with is "Suede".... Soooo much better than say fleece.... Fleece would have been a really bad choice... Flocked would also be a poor choice as an appropriate description....

    Nope.... I'm sticking with "Suede".... As in.... ""We can "Suede" it for you""...

    Substituting some of the other word descriptions just doesn't do it for me... IMHO:Thumbsup:

    Ok let me be more clear, what exactly did you do to the surface to achieve that finish? I care less about the marketing name.

    Very nice work Chuck as always. Are those casters in the first picture going to be installed on the orgasami bench?

    One is the general contractor.... One is the designer...

    The important one (not pictured) is the client/owner... That's the one that needs to be a smiling.....:D

    Are the holes for "looks" or to add bracing at some point.. Cool idea and relatively cheap. Maybe....

    The rest of their kitchen isn't what I was expecting with a custom steel hood like that, but it does look good! Nice work indeed.

    Bet they wished they had pushed those recessed lights a little further off the cabinets now, though. Or at least went with some track lights to brighten the cooking surface.

    I learned a long time ago not to question people's taste.... I let them tell me what they want...

    I tell myself... It's OK.... Not my house...
