An easy way to make your welding table larger

admin

Now granted, this is on my table at work, it would be just as useful at home.Here lately I`ve been building some large welding fixtures, the last one being 19 1/2 feet long and almost 10 feet wide on one end. Seeing as this one was made out of 4"x8"x1/2" and 8"x8"x1/2" tubing with 1" thick plates, keeping some of the parts in place on a 4'x10' table was a bit awkward to say the least. So this is what I did:Materials used were:3"x3"x1/4" angle iron2"x1/4" wall square tube1 1/2"x1/4" wall square tube5/8"-11 x 2" long bolts5/8"-11 nutsWith these extensions the table is now just under 14 feet long. Hopefully I will be making some for the long side of the table in the near future.If all else fails, I still have my adjustable height stands to fall back on.Darwinian evolution used to fix stupid. Now that humans have mostly removed themselves from the process of natural selection the survival rate of idiots has skyrocketed.
Reply:Looks good!I have the same Allen wrenches.....zap!I am not completely insane..Some parts are missing Professional Driver on a closed course....Do not attempt.Just because I'm a  dumbass don't mean that you can be too.So DON'T try any of this **** l do at home.
Reply:Just like leaves on a kitchen table. Good idea for the shop!!And then, after so much work...... you have it in your hand, and you look over to your side...... and the runner has run off. Leaving you holding the prize, wondering when the runner will return.
Reply:Great idea , hopefully it will be strong enough. That piece on the table must weight a lot.  Originally Posted by zapster Looks good!I have the same Allen wrenches.....zap!
Reply:Nice.  If I added a similar extension to my little welding table, it would tip over, as soon as I pulled it out.I'm mystified, as to how you welded the backside of the larger tube to the underside of the table.   ?????????????Ditto, Allen wrenches.
