Not to give away secrets, but it was done most likely with a plasma cutter attached to a circle cutter.

Nice clean look. I can appreciate the SS benefits when modified to home an egg or cooker. You'll enjoy this for years to come too.

@blasting The hole can be cut w/ a grinder,  plasma torch by a steady free hand or CNC or water jet cutter. Mine was w/ CNC plasma and then miniscule buffing.

Don't forget a near sited guy with a saws all...

I think for one-offs most shops would reach for the plasma cutter, but as with most projects, lots of ways to skin a cat.

Jig saw will work too.  I would reach for my plasma cutter.

I would just use my bare hands for a one off table, but that is me.  You guys use all your sissy tools.

Btw, awesome looking table!

I was just razzing Big Daddy a little.  He is my brother and I cut the hole for him.  BTW I used a cut off wheel.  I didnt feel like setting up the plasma.

Any details on the prep table? I'd like to purchase the same one and have a hole cut. Did you have to reinforce the lower shelf? If so, how?

jjmills

picked it up off craigslist.  no I didn't reinforce it.  It had three cross braces on I just missed cutting two of them out.

No worries about a table fire there....outstanding 

B1gDaddy

Thanks. There were supposed to be holes on the sides for hooks too

They invented something called a drill a few years back!

If you two could be the brother team equivalent to @jeepster47 and @ozzie_isaac father son duo, this place just got that much better.

@theyolksonyou ... Hey you carpetbagger, stop picking on folks.  Besides, all those Extra-Northern boys are a little ornery this time of the year ... snow and ice does it.  Something like 8~12" in the Northern part of the lower Peninsula of Michigan is predicted ... man would that frost your stainless (see, I can stay on topic)!

I'm a carpet maker, not a carpetbagger. Big difference. Damn Yankees
