Nice build,,, crazy steel prices putting cramp in my steel projects. i have used stitching tacks in thin gauge to reduce warp. not as pretty buts works well.
Man I'm behind. I saw the table in your latest video. Had no idea you made a video making it. Those squares I told you about... perfect for this stuff. Clamp two sides of a leg and just weld it. No thinking or checking. Just send it.
@@AustinCoulson LOL. Sorry man, but if I have to suffer with tool addiction then so do you. His welding table... Had my eye on it for several years now. I don't do enough work to justify it, but man would it be nice to jig something up on it.
I just ordered the mega square in aluminum and some of his clamps. The clamps were not very expensive, and I have cheap ones now. This should help when I do the pizza table
I've heard of a concoction commonly referred to as "shine juice"... boiled linseed oil and mineral spirits mixed. Lasts 4 to 6 months and then must be reapplied but it's flammable, so probably not good to use it on a welding table. There's gotta be something.
On the corners you can use receiver hitch mounts for vise or grinder mounts (I'm at 4:00 in the video so I haven't seen the end, put it inside the diagonal).
Thanks, you've got yourself a new subscriber. It took me about a year before I felt like I had even the slightest sense that I was starting to know what I was doing, so hang in there
Welding antispatter helps keep it from rusting, and helps with spatter when you weld on it.
I didn't know that, I'll check it out
Nice - looking forward to Mark II and Mark III as well. 👍😎👍
Best rust prevention on a steel bench? Use it. They only rust when left idle ;-)

This table cost me 3x what it would have 2 years ago. I'm hoping they go down soon
What about a 1/4” 2024 top plate bolted on with countersink socket head or elevator screws?
100% yes
That's one solid workbench. It's tornado and earthquake proof.
Good place to hide under
Hi Austin! Nice Table, I just finished a prject and I used browning paste, it came out really nice 👍 greatings from switzerland 🙋
Thanks, I'll check it out

I just checked out the monster square and I wish I would have bought it before I started this project

Nice metal table building music !
Pb blaster rust shield works great wielding table's
Try the Gibbs oil. I've used it on car parts and they sat for years without rusting.
I've been using the gibbs so far and it's looking great, but it will take some time to tell
I'd just grind the top and Silicone spray it. It looks good

hmmm, I hadn't thought of that. Maybe I'll do a receiver just so that I can make a few different adapters for all kinds of accessories
How thick is your square tubing
14 gauge if im correct, he mentioned 0.83 thicker but not sure if that meant that much thicker than 16 guage.
Hey Austin, I am building a channel like yours only a couple years behind, but I take a lot of inspiration from you!
