Mrs wanted a coffee table a bit bigger than what we have but not too big either , so I got this frame and cut 2/3ds off it so it is a suitable size and as it's lightweight steel, I brazed it back together.
Not really a welding forum question, but I wonder if someone knows what material would be best to make the top from? Looks like the last top had been set inside the box sections but I intend to go over the top with a bit of overlap. My thoughts are towards some kind of gloss coated mdf, maybe 18mm thick, but I would just have to buy a cut piece and the edges would need sorted as they would be rough. Anyway, something black as I am also making a shelf unit to match and it is to be black.
