Like... if I needed a piece of mild steel for making a welding table.. and
I
needed it maybe uhh... say 36" x 48" x 1" for the top. I am pretty sure I
could buy the 'legs' at home depot or Lowes.. or any other hardware
store..
the wheels as well. But I'd need at least 1 flat piece for the top. I
could
make an "X" connecting the 4 legs to help solidify the structure. Where
could I obtain the flat piece? Any ideas? Thanks!

The only way I would consider buying that thickness would be from a scrap
dealer or at auction. Current prices take the fun out of fabricating! I do
have my eye on a 4" round by about 36" piece of magnetic stainless at the
scrappie- just not sure what I would do with it yet.
