I've spent the last 4 weekends (and weeknights) working on fabricating this BBQ island. It's 1.5" x 1/8th" angle iron, welded wire mesh and the counter is a 3/16th sheet of steel. The counter is sealed in Everbrite and the vertical angle iron and wire mesh is rattle can sealed.
I included a shot of the interior so you can see that it's actually hollow on the inside for water, waste, electricity and gas line access. Instead of being just a giant block of rock, there is an inner and outer cage layer and rock compartments are 5.5-7" thick. Less rock was needed and now I can work on utilities in the future if needed.
What welding projects are you working on? Are you proud of something you built?
How about posting some pics so other welders can get some ideas?

Hobbyist MIG welder with 75/25 gas on a Lincoln SP-140 in my garage/workshop/gym/storage space. Very new and still learning.
