I built one a few years back like that. Very nice to have. Two things i did different was I used 2' pipe on the seat so it swivels from side to side and then under the table for those jobs its in the way and then second I wired the whole table with plugs on every corner. Then all you have to do is plug a fixed cord that made into a junction box on the table and then everything has power. Love your work and the details are awesome.
That is a great looking table. One thing I would change. Seat post would be round and welded to the side of the leg, could then just swivel to the side under table. Happy birthday, young man.
The shop welding table is the heart of every shop because that's where everything first starts getting built the conversations the fabrication and the thinking of what they're going to do I love the shop table because it is the way it's good business get started it starts from the ground up with a good shop table 2 ft by 4 ft out of half inch plate with a good Walton vice not a Chinese junk vice a american-made Walton vice have a nice day God bless America
Very nice job. I am 76 years old and built a welding table similar to yours 40 years ago. I enjoyed watching your workmanship. Congratulations. Will be watching more of your projects in the future. Thanks
One thing we got on two of ours on the farm is a piece of angle iron on the long edge of the top. It works perfect for holding round tubing in place from rolling!
I'm building a table right now and I'm glad I found your video. I have idea's but seeing what you have done a major rethink is in order. You sir are the G.O.A.T,, love your shop helper. A shop ain't a shop without a 4 legged helper.
Great job Andrew. You really thought this one out. Not only is it a killer design, you cleared up some space in your shop with the extra storage space. You will now know exactly where your welding supplies and tools are in that beast. Awesome content once again!!!!!
That's exactly right, and I also have a big Shop clean out and storage solution planned. That'll be a future video to get a lot more of my working room back and get more organized.
Nice! When I made mine I welded scrap 1.5 inch tubing to legs to hold my welding torch, plasma torch etc. also at the end I welded in a grate for plasma cutting. It has a tray underneath to catch debris.
I don’t know, it looks pretty flimsy…..😂. All kidding aside I think it turned out great! I’ll be stealing some of these ideas if I ever get around to building my own.
Really well thought out and built table Andrew! As a welder/ fabricator for the last 46 years I know exactly what you mean about workjng off of the floor, my knees are both shot! I especially like that you didn't permanently mount your bench grinder and vice to the table, I've always said that that's the best way to ruin a perfectly good welding table!
Very cool build! I especially liked the adjustable seat mount and the slide out for the grinding discs. I took a few screen shots to add to my list of features for my own table.
On the 4in extension, I'd cut a slot hole. Bolt them together just slightly loose. Should give enough L-R slop to enable you to pull it out as one piece again
Great build! You could add a bolt to the side that you cut off with a floating hole. Large clearance, so that when you pull the extension out you pull them out together. This will allow for the incongruency.
Love it! I built a 3x6 version of this with no vertical supports in the middle like yours. I wanted so badly to put swing out stools on the corners, but was worried about it being tipsy. Table weighs in at around 460 as I built it. Maybe I should just do it and try it out, lol. Sweet table!
The table looks great. I recently did something similar to hole grinder discs on threaded rod but found another nice touch is to use 1/2” metal conduit and pinch that with a 1/4” washer and nut and it makes sliding on the discs and other things nice and smooth
Super cool, thanks for pulling that thing out in yard to show us everything, I bet that was hassle, thank you!! I have a shop in the works, and I m getting some great ideas, I ve been thinking of 1/2 4x8 for a table top, so much cheaper than buying a welding table
Good work! If you mount the power cord reel to the ceiling over the table, it makes moving around the table with a tool or making long cuts with a circular saw much easier.
Very nice. Like the disc storage. Haven’t seen that solution. Smart. Having been there, done that, I highly recommend putting a 6 socket power strip on the table with a very short cord. I often have 3 of my 4” side grinders in use on the same project. I placed it on the side of my domain hand. Then use cord reel to power. Another new feature I did was add the 5/8 fixture holes in a 36”x36” area. So much better being able to clamp anywhere. The last bench I relied on the edge which worked but always needed to clamp perpendicular also.
Very nice job. I did a few things a bit differently, but your table has some very cool features. I started with seats like you made, but found them to be knee busters, so I converted them to swing away style on pintles. I really like your table extension. Well done, sir!
Great looking table! Two things i would add are two 4 gang outlets one on each end, run the wire in flexible metal conduit. I wired mine with a male end of a plug. That way i run one extension cord plug it in and have power without all of the cords to trip on on the floor. The second thing would of been go thicker on your table top, you have a mag drill. So all you would've had to do was drill 5/8" holes, and bam, you have a fixture table. Get some clamps weld some 5/8" bolts or shoulder bolts and you have cheap clamps. It works like a charm.
That is some table mate, fantastic work. I was looking forward to you trying to pick it up when it was upside down! Mines almost identical, the only thing different was I made the seat swing out so I could kick it underneath in a hurry!
Impressive Design, I can see that you have long planned for this. One design suggestion: stool holder welded on the inside of the upright (so 90 deg rotated in) with the bolt not sticking out. If you ever remove the stool you have a bolt sticking out to bump into, even if you remove the bolt you have the receiver w/ nut sticking out. Additional benefit of the receiver on the inside of the upright - you could put the stool under the table for storage.
Very nicely done. I thought the storage and attachments were very well thought out. The extension is pure genius. I’d consider using pipe for the seat so you can rotate it out of the way when not in use.
Dude that is a seriously awesome table you built. I love the awesome slider bar idea for the grinding consumables. Excellent job man and God bless y'all
For your extendable piece at the end of the table, could you drill an oblong bolt hole and use a nylon lock nut and bolt, not tighten it all the way so it allows the metal to move where it needs to and allows you to pull both out at the same time.
Boss table man! I really like all the square tube cross braces to keep the deck flat. Clearly well thought out. I weld and fab for fun so I understand how bad ass this thing is. Keep on trucking.
Бог в помощь. Интересные технические решения. Позволь предложить доработку к столу. Если добавить к тискам дополнительную опору(как нога), то это позволит работать кувалдой по зажатой в тисках детали, кроме этого, это позволит сохранить баланс столу если деталь в тиски будез зажата очень тяжёлая.
OK - I have been watching you for awhile - and have always been impressed by your mechanical skills and the way you think through projects - but this is a WHOLE other level! Great job!
You’re going to have to eventually get a Fireball Hardtail Vice to go on that awesome welding table. That is fantastic table you have built. Love the extension fence.
Hi, you will need an electrical box mounted on the welding table. That box will power all of your tools required on the table during a project. Get a good solid electrical board and connect all the equipment we saw there. Thank you.
Nice build, a loose fitting bolt in the slide out extension may allow you to keep it together but flex enough to slide out without binding, also you may have noticed, you can pull your vice and turn it 90 degrees and use it to clamp pieces vertically. Also you may find that a strategately placed hole about 3" or so .do would come in handy for driving out hammer handles, or pins and bushings. great job.
Looks great. You thought of everything. Just an idea that could possibly make the chair easier to place and remove without tools. drilling holes in the tubing and using a pull pin. Also if it was pipe, you could swing it around to either end of that side of the table. Possibly putting another pipe on the opposite side to use on either...
Nice bench, I built one very similar but I wish I has used expanded metal on the bottom shelf like you did. I saw a cool hack on RUclips for the bench grinder, guy mounted it on a hinge, so when not in use it swings down under the edge of the bench. I also put a power bar on mine under the edge.
Nice table, it's allot like mine. One thing I did, after walking a little too close to the exposed corners and getting bit on the side, was grind them down into a slight round-over. Now the corners don't bite as hard when I walk by... :D
That table will last three life times. I love the changeability you have for different accessories. It'll definitely be a Time saver rather than having to bolt everything down every time.
Gotta love a solid welding table. Mine is 3x5 ft with a 3/8 top. Had some diagonal slots lasered in the top like the Miller table to utilize the Miller clamps. With the table being 100% true on the edges makes it so easy to weld things up square. Mine has desk pedestals with drawers for storage. Adjustable feet resting in hockey pucks lets me level and stabilize it for work. Raise the feet and it's on heavy duty casters to move as necessary. May I suggest another vise mount near your seat ??
If the chair could move around the table in a sitting position during the work process, it would be a super device and you would not get tired and you would assemble any construction on it faster!
Metal working table and lunch table all in one. Awesome
Built the exact same table a few years back. It transformed my shop into an amazing place to work
Wow 😮 that's what I call a welding table. Excellent work 😎
Thank you!
Fantastic job Bud !!!

Dang bro! U thought of everything. Been watching a lot of table builds for ideas. This one is the best. Gonna use a lot of these features. Thanks!
Thank you for watching, glad it was helpful. More add ons coming!
Just watching this gave me so many idea's for building/fabricating stuff. I like your out of the box thinking and methods!
Glad I could help!
