A couple of years ago, I found a fantastic piece of scrap iron at the salvage yard — an access grate, something like a manhole cover or storm sewer

cover. It’s about 36 inches across and best of all says “DANGER HIGH VOLTAGE” on it!

The “High-Voltage” lettering struck a chord with me, as I’ve been on a bit of a journey of self-discovery these last few years, working on electric vehicle and related projects.

This post will take you step by step through making a patio or lawn furniture table entirely from scrap iron. I wanted to name this project something like HIGH VOLTAGE TABLE, but with projects I’ve worked on before, people might assume that the table was somehow battery-powered or featured an electric motor!
