I am trying to imagine the cost for that hunk of steel.

It seems there would be much more cost effective ways to make letter. Unless that “D” is just shown for a visual effect?

Plate steel right now is running from 1 to 3 dollars per pound depending on thickness quantity and supplier

Recently I bought a 4ft by 4 ft 2" plate 80 lbs per ft 16 total sq feet cost me $1,600.00
That plater being cut is about 4 inches thats 160 lbs per sq ft not cheap
