I still have these steel sheets from laser cutting the wrenches and I haven't decided what to do with them!  They are 5x10' that are 1/2" thick and weigh about 500lbs currently.  I have 5 of them.  Maybe a good welding table?  Cut and weld sections into cubes for fun?  Let me know what you think!

My first thoughts too. Welding table or fence/gate.

William R Dougherty

One sheet should be cut in half and made into a screen door for your workshop majesty. The rest..... How much will you get in scrap? Welding table and welding cart shelves? Bars for your windows?

Wilmer Schock

Ave used a large plate for a griddle on his barbie. Maybe with the judicious use of some scrap pieces they would be great grills. Some guys using whole animals wouldn't even have to make a mesh.

A screen door would be really cool. I just need to find a safe way to hang it.

Back to the laser shop, have the rows cut into strips, latitudinally speaking, then have ornate strips of crown moulding? Or decorative skirting for tables? Or ???? They have that walk like an Egyptian look to them. Hieroglyphic, they look like they should be on a wall somehow.

Use them as molds to create rubber/silicone wrenches as props for comedy gags.

Depends on how much effort you’re willing to put into it. You gotta be getting tired of the wrench business by now... Post it on eBay “pickup only” Contact interior designers - bars, restaurants, diners would love it for a texture wall... Give ‘em to a local welding program and let them go crazy...

Chuck Artemis

do something architectural, like a rail or a gate perhaps.

Jared Hayes

Shop loft railing? Deck railing?

Dan Johnston

Rail/gate/floor of an elevated office space in your new shop?

David W DeVillers

B-29 landing strip - oh, wait, you would need more.

Well you can use as a kind of solar breeze, they are very common in Brasilia. Or you can use as a combogo, another creation of Brasilia. Both are very common in post-modernist architecture, influenced by le courbusier.

Another option could be an easy climbing wall or maybe a support for plants. Oh if you plan to use concrete on your new shop, you can embed on the concrete, creating a kind of stencil.

Jillian Paulson

Build a fifty ton noodle machine and extrude HTR wrench noodles! Obviously.

Flint Buchman

Weld then into a timeout box for bad kids. 😁Jk. Know any blacksmiths that could use them?

Jeffrey R. Broido

I was going to say floor, but Kevin beat me to it so I'll suggest something really stupid: the deck of a bridge across the creek.

Pascal Roy

A local sculptor/artist could use them to create a piece "en hommage à" HTR.

Kas Simpson

They almost look like linoleum knives. Or spoon bowl carving knives. They’re gorgeous. Now I’m having an eccentric moment. Those would make some really sick stair treads. Oh man, I want some.

Mats

Welding table.

Don Rozwick

fence or the table or window grill or cut in smaller pieces and make lamps or resell on ebay or make a large grill/firepit

Larry Burnett

an awning over a patio would create an interesting shadow.

Michael Wimmer

It appears that there enough material here to be able make smaller versions of the wrenches? Is that feasible? Send them back the cnc shop and create some of the same style in miniature?

Gizmoduck81

Would they work as traction, like on a walkway/footbridge/etc?

JC1166

Security gate on doors of windows, or ornate custom firepit.
