Bolt-Together Industrial Side Table
Cut 1" angle iron and flat bar with cutoff wheels to build a no-weld, bolt-together steel frame for a small side table. Use flap discs to blend corners, wire cup to clean mill scale, and variable speed to refine a brushed finish. Top with hardwood or reclaimed plank for a modern industrial look.

Cut stainless plate to shape a spatula, fork, and turner, and use round bar for handles. Grind bevels, radius the edges, and add decorative cutouts in the blade. Finish with progressively finer flap discs for a satin look and drill/bolt hardwood scales for comfortable grips.
Minimalist Metal Wall Art Panels
Create geometric or nature-inspired panels from sheet steel. Rough cut with cutoff wheels, refine curves with a grinding disc, and texture with a flap disc for directional grain. Add patina or heat coloring, then mount to standoffs for floating depth on the wall.
Portable Skateboard Grind Rail
Fabricate a bolt-together rail from square tube and angle iron. Use the grinder to cut stock to length, round over sharp edges, and smooth weld preps. Finish with a slick, durable surface using flap discs and anti-corrosion prep for outdoor use.
