I started with a 10 ft 16 gauge metal track ..for those of u who aren't familiar with this.
It is metal used in commercial structures.. so trust me it's very resistant.

That's where it came from and what's left ..I don't have a plasma cutter so I used several grinder cutting blades.
Because as I mentioned its thick *** steal 1/4 inch

And here is the plate welded to the top..I still need to finish grinding to get a clean product ..I had a little spray paint left over from another project ..so I used a little just to give u an idea of how it will look finished
