Hi,
I just pushed a hunk of steel 18"x48"x1.75" off a buddies truck into my FEL bucket. It has a lot of holes in it as it was used in some equipment or tooling. It looks to have been ground flat, but it is rusty now from being in the scrap pile. Bought it and a few other pieces for 8cents a pound. It will be a welding table eventually. Couple questions.
How high should I make the table?
Should I make it flush against the wall or leave some space behind it?
What useful additions should a welding table have?
After sand blasting it clean, what surface treatment to keep it looking decent?
Thanks
