Shop Made Tools & Upgrades #6 - Welding & Fabrication Table

In one of my other videos a viewer asked if I could provide some information about my welding table. Therefore, I have made this 6th installment for my Shop Made Tools & Upgrades series on my welding table.
The play list for the tube vise which I built - • Tilting Fireball Tool ...
My video on building a stand for the lathe - • Lathe Restoration And ...
Jason's Fireball Tool tube vise build - • Making A Big 16” Vise ...

Thank you for making this video. It’s kind and thoughtful of you. Also thank you for using “ American measurements “ lmao!
Doing a walk around and explanation as to “ why” helped me solidify what I want in my table. So yes this video helped me a lot. Thanks again. Nick

No problem Nick. Good luck with your build. It would be good to see the finished table.

Nice size welding table and storage solutions built into one. Thanks for the walk around. Tony

[@thehobbymachinistnz]

No problem, thanks for watching.

Awesome bench, I love the tilting vise! Well done!!

[@thehobbymachinistnz]

Thank you very much.

Awesome table !
I love the pull out cutting table ! Some thing I must address is that I have my clamps and grinders hanging on the wall but mostly use them on the cheap fixture bench I got from H&F - makes sense to have it all in one place ! Thanks for the ripper video !

[@thehobbymachinistnz]

No problem, thanks for watching.

Awesome welding/fab table and a good design.
Cheers Kevin

[@thehobbymachinistnz]

Thanks Kevin.

[@jaydenh2839]

Awesome video gave me tons of ideas for my own welding tables.

[@thehobbymachinistnz]

You are welcome.

Ciao !! This is a project that i have to make for my workshop, your table gives me many ideas and an inspiration too for making in the near future; only i don't have your space (envy you a lot!! )so it will be a challenge to make something that fit my small vice table and when you want, it came out...Thanks for sharing your wonderful table!! A big Ciao from Italy, Alberto.

[@thehobbymachinistnz]

Thanks for watching Alberto. You could make a smaller scale table if you have space restriction. Maybe adding the wheels would be more useful in your situation if the table needs to be moved a lot.

Great point about the fire risk from the holes in the bench. I’d not considered that and I’m planning to drill holes in mine. Thank you

[@thehobbymachinistnz]

No problem. I have to say that the holes are really useful for clamping items down to the table. I use them all the time so you may want to think about some other way of clamping items if you end up not drilling any holes.

[@MattysWorkshop]

Gday, thanks for sharing your thoughts on the table, I’ve done the same as you and looked at a ton of videos on other builds then the price of steel went to the moon and I haven’t gone any further, you have pretty much solved all my thoughts I was wondering about, bloody awesome setup mate, cheers

[@thehobbymachinistnz]

Thanks Matty. Watching all those videos at the beginning help me a lot. I spent a lot of time planning out this build. In fact, its probably the most planned out build that I have ever done. Everything fits and works well on this table.

[@kentuckytrapper780]

Great info, very nice table...

[@thehobbymachinistnz]

Thank you.

[@BensWorkshop]

Good tips. Alas I have no room for a welding table.

[@thehobbymachinistnz]

Thanks for watching Ben.

Banger of a table and dang fine vise to top it off. Have you considered plugs of some sort for the holes while not in use. Maybe counter seat it some so it flush.

[@thehobbymachinistnz]

I have thought about plugs. Maybe one day I will make some to try. Thanks for watching.
