Reply:It's a thing of beauty. One spot is good. There is a lot of interest in hammering on table but claiming to one bolted to the floor gets used a lot. I like the size/shape/type of the fop.Last edited by Sberry; 3 Days Ago at 01:10 PM.

Reply:One thing I am going to do with the top of my table is to keep it clean and tidy is cover the bare top in dykem blue. It’s an old school trick that I’ve had a few old timers tell me about and TXSVIKING on YouTube does it as well. Also I have welded a 304 stainless steel lug to the frame of the table for ground. I wanted something that would not rust causing a bad ground.Gear: Esab power compact 205 with tbi industries torch BOC Smootharc 185dc tig Miller Syncrowave 350LX
