I used the hand torch to plasma cut the welding table shelf out of 1/2" plate.....
and rolled 1/4"x2" flat bar for the edges...
and got it tacked in place....

Some days you impress me.
But I'm disappointed you didn't do that with a coping saw, hand file, hammer and a forge.
Oh, and did you mine that ore, or did you use pre-fab sheet stock?
You ARE retired, right? What else do you have to do?

So we have TMGT's **** above, us badgering Terry to add something he needs like an octopus needs an umbrella, and a go fund me opportunity for us to pay shipping for whatever they swap when TGMT upgrades.
I dare us. ...
Then while I typed this two posts came in. Terry always impresses me working with the tools he has. There's art in making what he does from whatever is on hand. then there's art in making it look great and make us envious.

Well stated Mr. Old Grind...
Clean, precision hand cut curves...it is a masterful piece of work, truly exceptional.
Especially so, considering the original welding table Mr. Terry referred to above which he used for years on the farm.
Ballpeen Hammer - $6
Handmade Welding Table - $3000
Fork dollie to move it around - Priceless

Done for the day.
The shelf didn't break when I stood on it so it should be fine.
