[TheForge] Brushed Finished Stainless Steel

[Woolley]

Ray,

What is it exactly that you are making?  What are the material dimensions?
When I have had stainless jobs that required matching commercial finishes I
went strait to the source to find out how they produce their finishes.
There is a maker of restaurant equipment in the immediate area that I use
for some fabrication, some finishing work and for advise.  They have been
immensely helpful. After I used them for a couple jobs they let me walk
right into their finishing dept and ask their guys anything I wanted.  I ask
the first two questions to get an idea what I would use.  Scotch brite in
it's various forms and weights is usually a final step.  Do you have a
stainless supplier that sells sections in a #4 finish?  Most clients that
want brushed stainless are usually satisfied with that.

Regards,
Bill Woolley
