You should have put some locking casters on your table so that you can move it around more easily. You probably would want to move it out to the center of the stall to use it.
TRENTS NOT STUPID....IM SURE HE WILL MOVE IT WHERE HE NEEDS IT WHEN HE WORKS ON THAT TRUCK. U MUST NOT WATCH TRENT N ALLIE.....BECAUSE IF U DID...U WOULD KNOW THAT THEY BOTH ARE PRETTY SMART!!!!! JS
This is what I came to reply … And btw it doesn’t have anything to do with T & A being “stupid” It was just an observation … Those tables are very heavy … Table looks good and sturdy to me … Great job
Perfect time for reflection... Take a deep breath...everyone can use a litte advice and suggestions, the good thing about them both is you can take them or leave them, meaning not use them. And if I know Trent and Brandon, they more than likely have something better planned for the uses they will apply this table for but sure they appreciate all ideas...you never know when someones will be of help.
@@freekimsurr Hope you have a wonderful day. Rainy here and perfect reason to stay in jogging pants and watch football!! Dallas fan here, hubby a Carolina fan. Have an amazing day and week😀
Art, not only is your comment very true, you are one of the few that spells Branden's name correctly. It's nice to see someone here paying attention. 😃
@@51-FS Well Joa "Karen" Drike, please refer to my "paying attention" comment. Are you Joey or Joel or Job or Jimmy, Jim, Jasper, Jake or just plain Jerk? Or do you prefer Karen?
Trent, you remind me of my brother-in-law. Jack of all trades. If he doesn’t know how, he figures it out with books or you tube. He became a pilot of a helicopter, bought an older 60’ish helicopter, used it to get his hours. Turned around an sold it. So it really only cost the gas and time. He then got a promotion at work (LE) became the top man that gave final tests throughout the state for others that flew for our department. He just has a mind like yours. Love your family and Brandon 😊👍
Your wreath on your door looks good with the real snow on it.oh I forgot this is a man's garage & truck build channel 😄 Grrr let's throw some steel around men roar roar grunt grunt 🤣😂
I know absolutely zero about most of the things that you do, but it's so much fun to learn how to build, wire, plumb, and weld by watching you. I had no idea how to purchase steel; I had no idea that there were shops that sold it. Thanks for showing us how to do so much.
I couldn’t comment earlier. I had a thought that you could add casters to the table to make it easier to move around as you use it. I love seeing Brandon behind the camera. Multi-talented guy!
Locking and unlocking casters each time you move a heavy duty work table is unreliable. I would much rather have it right where Trent has his: with a wall backing. Space to maneuver for clamping is easy enough because he can slide the table out a few feet without difficulty. Stability is an absolute on a heavy metal table that will be used for welding often times large, awkward objects.
I don't know the answer to the quiz question, but my hubby does it within seconds... lol! He's a journeyman ironworker/rigger. He said the steel sheet weighs 528#'s and that steel weighs 44 #s per square foot. Then he broke down the math to me.... lol! He's so darn smart.... lol! So love this channel to Trent. 😍
Nice weld beads Trent ...for future reference ,worry more about the millscale than anything else . You can lay the best bead in the world but if you don't grind off the scale they will be weak ... On a side note ....please make your build videos longer 😊😊
@@annelowry357 Mill scale is flaking on the surface of the metal after it is formed in the mill. "during welding, mill scale hinders the flow of the liquid weld pool, often causing an undesirable weld appearance or contour. Mill scale also can impede penetration into the base material and cause a lack of fusion and weld inclusions"
I used to Farm and did tons of welding with a mig, I always grinded my welds clean before I layer down the weld , just works so much better. You figure it out as you go along, practice makes perfect
So glad too see Brandon is helping with you on this channel.. I’m so happy for you I wish I could get my channel as many likes that you have.. I need too borrow Allie to show how too video my videos .
Trent , Its great to see Alley filming,that means twice as many videos coming from you. Great table project, Iam waiting to see more, Hug Frank the dog for us.
By the way good luck with all the snow. I guess you could put a bucket on the front of your tractor and dig your house out. Allie is a real trooper shoveling all that snow.
Oh wow! metal can be heavy for sure, and I think that you did a good job fabricating it. I think it needs some wheels or something to make it a lot easier to move around since it is so heavy. I am excited to see the truck get worked on. Thanks for a great video to watch have a great day, sending love and hugs, bye! 😂👋👍💜💜💜
Trent - Aside from what you've said, the fact that it sits flat, is great. As well, I built a worktable similar about 30 years ago, and I might wipe it down with an oily rag every 5 years, and still, no rust. As well, a hint to the wise, take a grinder and round off those sharp corners on the top plate. Your hips, and Leo's head, will probably thank you for that.
Nice to see Brandon with you on this episode! Great job on the welding. Some are suggesting putting wheels on the table, but to me that sounds unsafe when you're using a welding torch. That could be a tragic episode if you did. Haha
T & A, I didn't know if I was going to enjoy this new channel of yours, but I love it! It is never boring and you always explain what you are doing. I am happy that you let Allie and Brandon in it too! I have to say, I can not lie, that your leg welds looked mighty good to me! You know what you are doing, but the "Armchair Quarterbacks" are going to feel like they need to put their two cents in too! ha The only negative is that the video went by so fast and I didn't want it to end! lol Love you guys!
casters are a good idea, especially in a small shop . the ability to roll the table outside to weld is important. now Trent is welding cutting and grinding against a wood wall.
YAY! Great video, interesting table (needs casters) it is great to get to see this from the beginning with you and Brandon and Allie getting the shop setup. Keep the videos coming
Wow! I criticize what you do as a home builder but your fab/welding is really skillful! I'll admit I'm jealous of your welder and your welding skills. Props to you.
I built one of those about 25 years ago. I started with 3/4" x4'x8' steel plate. Used 3"x3" x 1/4" square tubing for the legs and structure. I cut off 10" off the 8' side folded it up 90 degrees and welded it to the table as a backsplash. I then welded some 1"x1" square tube to the backsplash and bolted a 3/4" piece of plywood. Painted the plywood white to do a shadow board and painted the whole table gray except the top face. Bolted down a big vise to the left side. Then a two stone grinder on the right. Then mounted two switches one for the lights and the other for the grinder and two plug receptacle. Then welded on some heavy duty steel casters on to make it easier to move. It has stood up great and is like new after 25 years of fabricating.
Nice plate, Trent, if I'm not wrong, that should weight around 220,5 kg. A nice, nice patch. For welding table will be perfect, also to do some metal work. If I was you, I would include on one side a removable sheet folding assembly (rigorously homemade) for projects like bodywork and fabrication. Cheers, waiting to see some building stuff. 😉
I love everything you do and show. It is about you folks and what you do. Love all the different things that I get to see when Alli does the editing and music for each episode.
If you no what steel weights by the square foot it’s easy to figure out!! It’s about 480lbs to 500lbs for a 4’x8’ sheet 3/8” thick!! I always do a +&- of 10lbs to be safe!!! I had half of a flat bed truck and that Is what I am making my fab table out of for my shop!! It was free and I definitely needed a metal Fab table with a bench vise on it also!!!
You're doing awesome Trent, please don't doubt yourself or take criticism to heart. Great job!! Yay love seeing Brandon helping he is doing wonderful job. You both deserve a big oat on the back...wooooo high 5! Sending Loves and pat on back to you all!! ❤️ Be safe, from your fan in Vancouver BC ❤️💋🇨🇦
I’ve been watching Trent and Allie since you guys were in Patagonia but I think I am going to like Trent’s Garage. I like watching real people doing real things.
The weld you showed of the leg to the bottom of the table good, I found it amusing that your dog walked across the steel plate almost before your hands were off it. Perhaps you should dip her paw in paint to autographed the table.
Doing great. It’s good that you introduce Brandon to this video I have followed you from just before Covid all I can say is good one guys and you are never short o a surprise in store. Take care see you on the next one.
Oh oh I have a suggestion for when you buy more metal sheets! You know those felt furniture slides you put under your couch to move around the room? Get some, throw them down in the bed of the truck before the forklift drops a sheet in. It will let you slide out the sheets easier. Also - hair out of square is okay as long as it's functional for your needs.
It would be nice at the end of your videos to say and I would really like to thank Brandon for getting up here in this treacherous weather to help me!! Just sayin. It going to be great watching you rebuild your rock crawler

Good to see Brandon he hast to be part of Trent’s garage, It wouldn’t be complete without him.
Glad to see Brandon taking on some of the filming to give Allie a little more time back for editing a third weekly video! 👍🏼😎
So happy to see Brandon. You two , along with Allie, make the best team.
I’m a 65 year old, old lady and I have really enjoyed your page so far😊

Grrr let's throw some steel around men roar roar grunt grunt 🤣😂
My dad was a welding instructor. If he were with us today, he would say, “great job young man”.
I agree. I am no welder, but I have seen a lot of welding in these videos and this is excellent looking welding.
Branden’s first ever appearance on Trent’s Garage. 🛻🛻🛻
Supporting Trent
Brandon you are a Knight of the Welding Table.

What are friends For?
That was a beautiful bead, now let’s see that “Frankenstein” one😂
There were some that got contaminated and didn’t looks so good haha
Your table looks beautiful.🙃🙂🤩🥰🤗😉😉😉😉😉😍
Thank you
Really enjoying this channel as well as Trent and Allie. Watching you and Brandon working together at Trent's Garage is great.
Tip: Add some tubing under the surface. If you put a heavy gearbox or other heavy part on it, it might sag and break your leg welds.
Add some 3” channel in an X under the table plate to keep it from warping
Al need a garage!!! I love the Golf room coming. But!!! Happy wife???? Hello??? 😂🤣😂🤣👍🏻👍🏻😎😎😎

Flap discs never used to be a thing years back but that seems to be one of the popular items used for years now to clean up mill scale on hot rolled steel without removing or gouging into the metal as much as a typical grinding wheel would do.

What is nice is to have multiple angle grinders when one is using a combination of a grinding wheel, flap disc, cut off wheel and rather than change out constantly between wheels for each phase of a project, they are all ready to go. That is the drawback of mig, it hates mill scale where as depending on the rod doing stick welding, one can get away with less prep. Of course everything else is a negative with stick as per having to deal with slag removal, slag inclusions if the technique is not correct ... mig sure shines then !. Great job on the welding table though ( aside from the cleaning learning curve you experienced without me having to babble all of this ). With that table depending on your plans, chances are you will probably want to mount on a vice and incorporate the underside stiffeners as was suggested to beef up the table top stiffness at that time.
