250 pounds

Not as heavy as I would have guessed. Getting older and weaker ....

Ehhh, it's probably all those holes you put in the top to lighten it up...

I'm always so impressed with your finished products.... truly inspiring... If I were younger (& wiser) I would have loved to apprenticed under you.... (heck just watch you.. to learn)

In the realm of welding... I consider myself a "grinder"... not a welder / fabricator. My welds hold but are not pretty (ie. "grinder").

Awesome Table

Terry is what I call a practical artist. A vey rare breed.

Mr. Terry, is it just friction from the slight offset angle that holds the clamps in the holes on your bench?

I don't know, I use a grinder to cleanup the metal and get a good fitting joint and I think it helps the weld a lot, Structurally and visually!

 

[Big Barn]

Either way you look at it I guess I am more of a grinder than a welder

If I don’t work in the shop for an extended period the abrasives vendors send me get well cards. LOL.

This is where I'm at with the belt grinder cart...

The horizontal square tube is for tool
storage

Very nice! But no fenders?

 

[the old grind]

Form and function. The Artist at work.

Very nice! But no fenders?

That was the plan but it ended up looking too cluttered.

 

[Thall303]

Very impressive work!

 

[BackRoad]

You must have acquired a gross of those little decorative sprockets...

Else all the neighborhood kids are now walking 'cause Mr. Terry requisitioned their bicycles for the chain gears!

 

[Big Barn]

Still need to build the swivel mount for the VFD

Wow... looks like that table really got hammered. ...hopefully without running up a huge bar tab.

Terry, what phone do you have? Phones take such awesome pics. I have a $400 Sony Digital Camera that I never use. My phone takes much better pics.

Richard I had to look in settings because I wasn't certain.

It's an iPhone 11. Not the Pro version.

I don't even own a camera or a (desktop) computer.
