new table

admin

i'm building a new table. got all the materials 'free' from a demolition project( used half a bottle of gas cutting it all up).the table will stand outside on dirt, so i made the bottom like a sled for continuous support and stability.37" tall..the legs are 2 1/2 xh pipe. the channel supporting the grating top (moving over from the old "table" -2 metal foldup horses and my grating--in the background) is heavier than anything i find in my steel book which shows 6x13 with a .437 web..this stuff is .500 web.. all welds have been full pen 1/8 6011 at 85 amps, will cap with 7018. the crossbraces are 1 1/2"xh pipe.i got the tops of them welded yesterday and if it gets over this 20 degree crap i am gonna get out there on some cardboard and get the bottom half..and start on the channel for the top.

Reply:Looks plenty strong.About to build a new one myself with similar material but for inside use.20mm top with beams like yours.  Legs will be of the same beams. ( also got for nothing from the scrap metal bin at work )Im soooo glad i dont have to contend with snow at any time of the year
