Who'd a guessed...more tables

admin

Well,I finally got around to builing some tables for the new shop.  I needed a fairly flexable layout, so I decided to build 4 4'x4' tables.  They're built from 2" square .120" wall tubing, with .5" tops.  I work at a sign shop and need to build some rather large signs from time to time, but building a giantic single table wasn't really feasible, so I think this should work out pretty well for me.  I can pull each table out to each corner of a sign and let the material span the gap.  There is level feet on each table to true everything up.  I only made the tops overhang on 2 sides, so I can bolt the legs together tight when I want a 4'x8' table also 2 of the tables have one side of the bottom aprons pushed back so I can pull a stool up for tig work.  I still have to get some material for the bottom shelves, but I might try to hold off because I know it'll just collect junk down there. I still need to clean up the edges where I cut the tops.  I'm not too steady with the plasma, so I have a fair bit of grinding to clean up the edges.  Perhaps I'll have to buy a new 7" grinder as a christmas gift to myself to get it done a bit quicker.  We just started getting the shop built out, so it's pretty much in shambles right now, hence the mess on all of the tables.

Reply:Man, those look great.  Sounds like you really thought them out and made a really useful and flexible table "system".  I am very envious of your shop.Miller Millermatic 212... and that's about it... for now...
Reply:That's good thinking right there, modular tables. That red color jumps out at ya!  Nice. City of L.A.
