I recently acquired a very heavy gauge stainless steel table. It came out of a food processing factory. The top measures about 4 feet by about 2 feet and is 3/4 inch thick. the legs are 4 inch solid stainless steel welded on well with angular supports also, it would hold up a few ton. We have a second lean-to kitchen-scullery and my plan is to bring it in there as a veggie-chop food prep table come SD indoor workshop for winter time repairs as we have a giant stove in this room. The problem is there are about 10 holes drilled in the top of the table where some machine or other was bolted to it. Four of the holes are 3/4 inch diameter but most are 1/4 inch diameter. Now if I can come up with a way of patching the holes neatly then Mrs Scania will probably be ok with the table coming inside and my first attempt will be my best chance as she can be a stubborn cow! I am looking for suggestions on ways to seal or fill the holes as neatly as possible with the minimum of petrusion above the surface before I show it to her. It would be great if I could find a way to block the holes so that it would look neat original and be still very level.

Scania quickest way would be to stick some tape or cardboard to undeneath of the holes, then skim them with bodyfiller then sand then paint with silver hammerite, good luck

A big butchers-block cutting board to cover the holed area. You could put pegs in the bottom of the wood to locate into the holes "so it doesn't move about when you're using it"
