This is going to be a hinged fire place grill/surround combo.
Mostly 16 ga. sheet. with some other odd stuff thrown in to jazz it up.
The grille is a funky angular sort of random pattern and will be 1/4 and or 3/8 inch round bar.
The fireplace is a direct vent gas with a glass front that slides out from the top of the face. Luckily than means all my stuff has to do is swing out of the way so the glass can be removed for service.
So if you were standing in front of the fire this thing is raised 1-1/4" off the wall by the sides, it will be hinged on the left and have magnetic latches on the right. When its closed the latches and hinges will be hidden so it will look like it's permanently fixed to the wall.
width- 42" inside, 58" outside
height 32-1/2 " inside, 48-1/2" outside
Edges broke to 1-1/4" @ 90*
Will be painted flat black.

Bend bend bend. How do you like my poor mans metal brake. Grind a little relief cut on the back flip, line up with the edges of the table and bend away. Take your time keep it even, then check it with a square when you're done.

Here's what I cut it out with, worked great and gave a nice clean edge with minimal deburring necessary.

Framed the inner lip with 1/4" x 1" h.r. flat bar and rolled the sheet around to give a nice clean edge. Surprisingly, one added benefit of hammering this stuff for almost 2-1/2 hours straight is that it really reduced any pent up frustration I've been carrying around.

I think I can get along pretty good seeing as I am no tin bender and have no shear or brake to make this real simple. Like everything else I do, I'll figure out a poor boy way of doing it if possible.
