The best -- and CHEAPEST -- source for stainless steel worksurfaces is a
place that does commercial kitchen work. For them it is no big deal, and
I have gotten stainless sheet, including bending on their brake and
welding up weird shapes, for a lot less than galvanized at a regular sheet
metal shop. Maybe $40 for a benchtop with two bends.
