guess you could say so, I took 1 1/2 square tube and made the frame, then made a base for the top out of 1 1/2 angle, set a 40 by 20 piece of 3/16th sheet on that and welded it on, put a few crass braces to prevent warpage. Plan on wood for a bottom shelf and some pegs for utensil handles on the side., I painted everything but the top with high heat paint, the top I cured in like a cast iron pan till it took real good, it is not painted on either side just saffron oil. it now has a coating just like a pan
