Looks nice. How much did you charge to make it? When I first started looking around, most shops around here wouldn't touch it for less then $300.

Hey guys.

I tried to get the fabricator to sell online but they are not really interested in getting into all the overhead and crap that goes with it all. I understand, they really prefer to just sell local. I will keep checking with them, maybe I can get them to do something in the future on ebay, craigslist or something.

Anyway sorry no group buy.

So, I had one made out of 18g stainless by a local fabrication shop. It took a few tries but I think it turned out okay. I added some insulation to reduce heat and some pan head bolts to give nice clean finish.

The seams are polished out and not visible for the facing side.
