Where can I get metal screen like this for a stove door?

Recommended Posts

The antique stove that Trina is restoring is in need of new metal screen for the door. Dimensions are seen below in the pictures. Thickness isn't a huge issue but these pieces are very very thin .

I think we would have to buy about 6 in x 6 in. 

 

The pattern of the holes is somewhere in the neighborhood of 1/8 in but it's not exact. If anything, I would rather that the holes were just a tiny bit bigger so the fire could be seen better.

 

I assume it's made out of steel because it looks to be quite rusted.

 

 

Where can we get something like this?

Wow.  Make it maybe?  A simple drill jig with a peg and a movable back stop?  Try searching for “expanded metal” for alternative options?

There are a ton of hobbyist plasma table people out there, maybe it would be easier to program?  @ACman could your son do that?

Try a search for perforated metal, the jungle site has some.

Just look online for perforated metal sheet, unless you want to drill them one by one!

The Paint Department and her Mama are galavanting around looking for that and some other stuff.

I got specialty stuff on this site. It comes square and you will have to use your band saw to shape.
