Default Stainless kitchen top questions ???

I have to make a stainless steel top for 2 cabinets and a dishwasher in my own future kitchen. I’m wondering how thick the SS should have to be so it will not dent during kitchen use ? I’m planning to use it to cap a double layer of ¾” plywood or possibly 1 layer of plywood plus 1 layer of flake board and I guess I would use contact cement to attach the SS. Also because the counter top is L shaped (when viewed from above) there is one inside corner that I will have to weld a piece into so I’m kind of thinking a heavier gauge SS may help avoid warping problems. I have a power shear & press brake so working the SS sheet shouldn’t be too bad.

Also if anyone has any experience matching brushed finishes on SS I’d love to hear your technique. Thank you in advance . ~ John Buchtenkirch
