  • @mrbratt69
    @mrbratt69 6 лет назад +1

    What a great idea, I wish I had thought about this when I owned my own metal fabrication business. I made my own welding table which I still own to this day. My Father in law was a welder by trade and taught me how to weld. He used to build custom doors and door frames out of steel so he had built a table frame out of 2"x 2", U shaped bar stock that's 1/8" thick. It was very light weight but quite sturdy and something he used for over 10 years before he gave it to me. It was strong enough that I used it a couple of times to hold engines with the transmission still attached when I did engine swaps. I eventually decided I needed a top of some sort on it so I put an old MDF counter top on it and used that set up for roughly 5 years before I had damaged, broken, drilled and cut holes, burnt up sections, and after the laminate started warping and pretty much became more work to keep the metal flat. So I ripped off the counter top and welded on a sheet of 4' x 8', 1/4", cold roll steel plate onto the top. Doing that made a lot of jobs easier. I still own the table after abusing the table for 15 years. I have used the table for anything and everything. I'm disabled and work out of a wheelchair and have even used the table to stand on to do engine work on a couple of lifted trucks. The table is the perfect size for me to place a chair on top while I'm standing on it so I can sit down when I need to give my leg and knee a break since I am missing my leg. Every good metal fabricator needs a good, solid, table to work on. Bad ass table bud. I know you will get quite a few years of service from this table. Thanks for sharing, maybe I'll make a smaller version for some of my smaller projects

  • @Icecoldswilla

    I was building a hot rod frame and had no table. Needed something to tack down frame rails to. Went and bought a 3/8” 4x8’ slab of mild steel. Put it on the floor of my garage. Did layout on it tacked parts down. Worked great, takes up no space. You have to work on the ground but the plus side is you don’t have to lift anything up.

    Very nice fab table top. Only one thing I saw you missed. Unless it just was not shown in the video. The angle V on the one end. What is needed is flat stock on the bottom for a flat clamping surface. That allows pieces to be easily clamped in the V angle for welding. My dad has this feature on his portable welding rig. Works great for many things

  • @tomherd4179
    @tomherd4179 6 лет назад +7

    Sure beats my flat top solid table (much smaller). The price$$ is right and I think I will be making something like it in the future. Clamping has always been a problem, where the only area is the edge. I made a small table top stand that I place on the main table allowing me better access for clamping smaller things. It is a 12"x12"x 3/4" plate with three 1/2" round feet about 1.5" tall to it. This allows me at least 2 sides for clamping.

    • @TheFabricatorSeries

In a later video I see you using a round bar as a wrist support, and figured you probably have a creative solution to make that easily adjustable to suit the work piece. Still planning on that video?

    Very clever design. I like it. I suppose you could space the tubing so individually removable tubes could turn this into a solid surface by pressing all the slip-joints together then add the individual ones. I don't do much fab at this point so maybe this wouldn't make a practical difference. I am thinking of building a regular work bench with similar features out of wood. Once I get welding/fab going I will build your design.
