sheet of metal looking for a project/purpose

[ttlrfrank]

Located a reasonably thick sheet of stainless steel almost 2x2' and has very nicely made holes about every inch....nearly 400 1/2" holes in a square pattern

price is right and shame for it to go to waste...trying to think of a purpose or project to use it but coming up with a blank

Anyone ever layout something like this and if so, what did you use it for?

I used some 1/4 inch stainless for bbq grill plates. No holes in it but after it stress relieved and stopped curling up like a potato chip, it works like a charm.
Nothing sticks and easy to clean.
Maybe an outdoor firepit surround?

Thread the holes and use it on the mill for a Tool Fixture Plate.

I have had a sheet of 16 gauge stainless, with a 2" lip bent down the long side, for over 20 years. I got it for free from a place I used to work because the bend is off buy the tiniest little bit. It has moved with me 3 or 4 times and still the only use I ever found for it was to lean it up along my back chain link fence as a privacy screen. Ok the privacy screen part just happened as a result of that being the chosen place to store it. It has been sitting there for 10 years. I would get rid of it but digging it out from the bushes seems like a lot of work.

Long story if you can't find any other use for it then use it for yard art

We use something similar to line the deck inside cabinets under kitchen sinks. Makes for excellent cleaning and a very happy wife

@ttlrfrank - ^this.

If it is thick enough to thread, it might be a great way to make a small rotary table a bit bigger - something I need to do someday.

I like the idea pitched about turning it into some kind of shelf - thanks for the thoughts
