New Welding Table

[powershop]

Always wanted a good heavy welding table,so I
glued one together. 6 x 6 legs, 4" channel and
3/8" plate, estimated weight 750 lbs.

Painted and in position, took a couple buddy's
to roll it over.

Great lookin' job! That's one of the to-do's for me. I'm looking to cover it mine a thin copper sheet. All I have done so far are the vise jaws!!!!!!!/w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif

Looks great..plenty of room for selfing.

Nice big vise at one end w/portable chop saw sitting in the middle,and set of chain falls on rollers above plus a coffee maker to one side..it shall become home away from home. /w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif

That's nice.

That's a nice set up! I dream of the day I have enough room to devote some of it to a fixed welding table. Till then, it's a hunk of grating on top of a metal barrel...something I can wrestle from place to place!

Nice job on the table. Is the top solid? When I make mine I plan on having some elongated slots in the top so I can clamp things down in various spots. I use those Vise Grip clamps (see attachment) a lot when I weld and some elongated slots in various positions would be helpful to clamp things down in the middle of the table.

Nice table. It won't be moving around on you.

Yes, Spence the top is solid 3/8". I set the channel back
2 inches because of clamping things down. Slots would be nice but they have there drawbacks also. Thought if I need a clamp in the middle i would tackweld something to the table and grind it off later, thats why i used 3/8 instead of 1/4 plate.

Your shop is so clean it looks like the Health Dept. could certify it for food prep.

Great job on the table.
