Yow... lucky guess!  

You did that with a grinder?  Fine fine work.  Do you need to coat it with anything to maintain the finish, or will the SS hold the shine?

Dammit Rock!!!  I was supposed to be the one to guess the correct answer! :P

Oh well, you can make it up to me some other time. ;;D

Jonny, metal can be a bitch to work with, but you make it look like a fluid work of art. ;)

Start with a grinder to get the scale, pits, gouges out of the metal. Then I break out the 8S medium deburing wheel to take out the grinding marks, then the buff wheel to get out the deburing wheel marks............Its just a step down process, just keep minimizing the marks till its mirror.

Its a filthy job but in the end when I look at something like this its all worth it.

Oh, wait I see those are window frames.   Never mind.

Port and Starboard window frames for a 45 foot Grand Banks Trawler?
That would be my guess.
The Westport design has windows like that also. Can't imagine someone in Mass. owning one though.
