The first version of my table had the legs welded directly to the 1/2" top without a supporting frame. The top was also warped making it hard to build anything square and flat. I started out cutting the legs off of the top and sending the top to get rolled flat. Here is the start of the frame. Attached ImagesLast edited by sanddan52; 01-09-2011 at 03:59 PM.
Reply:The legs are 3" square tube with the rest of the frame 2" tubing. I inset one of the lower support tubes to give me some clearance when tig welding. Here are some weld shots. Attached Images

Reply:Ignorant question. Where does one send a table top to get rolled flat? Mine is concave but I didnt think doing something like that is cost effective. Is it?
Reply:A local steel fabrication and supply house did it for me. I called them to get a quote for a new top and the guy suggested I have them shot blast the top and send it through the rollers to flatten it. The cost was $84 and the top came out great. I wish I had done this a long time ago. My top was like a bowl, concave in both directions. If you put a straight edge across the top the center was 1/4" to 3/8" out. It's now dead flat. I will post more pictures tonight. All of the welding is done except for attaching the top. I am up in the air on painting the frame, I have black and yellow single stage paint and a nice blue in base/clear. Or maybe just some rattle can
Reply:A little more progress. I made some feet for the legs, nuts welded to the plate to allow leveling of the table, I set the top on but will not weld it until I paint the frame. Attached Images
