Blackened Steel Panels.

The front of the counter entailed blackened 16 gauge mild steel sheets, fastened in a sort-of rivet style. Again, this is the EPI Insta-Blak chemical process (the same as the communal tables). After a bit of aging, a coat of lacquer will go on top, to stop the oxidizing.

Blackened steel sheets.

Also, under the register area, I had additional retail shelves bent from 24 gauge mild steel sheet (thicker to be more rigid and hold their shape). I had them bent by my friends at American Circle, mainly a custom kitchen supply shop, in Williamsburg.

Retail shelves.

The final product.
