There Are Many Welding Tables...But This One's Mine...

admin

Finished the welding table I've been building now for too long.Almost done...All finished and painted...I used two heavy cast fixed caster style wheels mounted so they don't take any weight when it's sitting...View of receivers on front and left side (end)...Measurements: 48" long x 21.5" wide x 40" high.  Weight: F'n heavy."These instructions are at our present level ofknowledge.

Reply:Might want to throw some sheet metal up on that wall- looks like a fire waiting to happen. That is if you plan to use it here...

Reply:Originally Posted by HardwareGood catch, but for any welding or grinding the table will be rolled to the left into the doorway and the garage door will be open (I'm all about ventilation).  Grinding or cutting is always set up so the sparks shoot out the door.
Reply:Yeah...LOL.  That's one I didn't have to learn the hard way.  Usually my truck's parked around the side and her SUV is farther (1/2) way up the driveway, so min 70 ft away and not really in line with grinding/cutting cast off."These instructions are at our present level ofknowledge.

Reply:Hot metal from grinding can pit through the clear coat and windsheilds.
Reply:Originally Posted by HardwareNot by design - they're the ends of the tubes I added beneath the table top to reinforce the table in general - BUT I probably will devise something simple that will insert in those openings to act as wheel barrow handles to make moving it easier.How so?
Reply:Originally Posted by weldbeadno lip on the expanded metal shelf, when you lift the end and start rolling the stuff may roll around..and ive learned with wheelbarrow  handles make em low, so when you straighten yer legs and have your arms straight the table  is high enough clearance to roll..you dont wanna do arm curls to get it high enough...
Reply:Update.Here's what I came up with for a handle."These instructions are at our present level ofknowledge. Legal requirements do not exist.Technical issues subject to change."_________________________________________Lincoln MIG PAK 180Lincoln AC-225
Reply:Now that I have the table, projects like the handle and the grinder base (posted in a separate thread) become very quick and easy to do.  My first project (welding cart) was by far the hardest as I had the welder on a Black & Decker Workmate and working pieces on a wooden platform propped on two sawhorses.The table started on the same wooden platform and migrated to the floor as it came together but now with these two critical tools, life in my little hobby-welding shop just got so much easier.Cart and table as first projects is a must, IMO."These instructions are at our present level ofknowledge.
