I would if I still had it brother. Sorry!

@ gcelaya, Thanks! The slots at each corner are 2"x1." The slots for the clamps are .768" x 18." -You can see more here (just pause the video and zoom in to see all the specs that went into this table): http://youtu.be/twh49LW5RTI There are a total of three videos posted providin...

This is a section for a weight lifting plate holder I am making using my Lincoln Electric 180 MIG welder. Still learning how to weld, not sure if this is the best or not. If Jody is correct in his assumptions, its possible this was done too cold. What you see is a T-joint, using .035 with 25/75 gas....

Thanks man!

WerkSpace and Otto (Steve S), both great ideas! Thanks for sharing. Rahtreelimbs, The Waterjet cutting cost me $300. The Blanchard grinding was going to cost me $200 (another place quoted me $600) but when I showed up to take my plate top home and pay for the Blanchard grinding, the manager there sa...

@RonSII, The casters are really cool. They roll really good, swivel just fine, and are adjustable so you can raise the wheels up off the floor to level it and keep it from rolling. -They are made by Foot Master, model# GD100S (rated at 1650 pounds each). http://www.castersupply.com/NAV/leveling_cast...

Built a frame for my welding table (3" x 3" x 3/16" square tube legs, and 4" x 2.5" x 3/16" top frame, with 2" x 2" x 1/4" ;lower frame, and a 1" top plate). She is already for my first job.

Here is the top after it was Blanchard ground on both sides, bringing it to within .005. The plate was perdy flat to begin with. I only lost 1/16 inch after both sides were Blanchard ground. -Very happy with the top so far. Will post more pics as the project progresses. 424288_487495284594334_166777...

Here is the plate after it was water jet cut to my specs. 48x42, rounded corners, clamping slots, lifting slots, and 4-holes so the table can be set on top of studs. I am going to mount the table to a base that will hold the table securely, but allow me to flip it should I ever desire to. 574725_486...

So I decided to make my own welding table. After searching for a good table, the price was just way too high to justify the cost. I located a 1-inch plate 48"x44" on Craigslist. It was quite the task getting it home, but proved to be worth the effort. Here is a picture of the plate before ...

After speaking with the rep at Strong Hand Tools regarding the Weld Pro welding table and the tooling they make for the tables, I discovered that everything they sell is made in CHINA! That was the deal killer for me.

Follow up for anyone considering this table: The above company is an authorized distributor of the Build Pro welding table. The company name is, "Lehih Valley." This is per Strong Hand Tools. I also learned that the tables are dropped shipped by Strong Hand Tools (SHT) for free! The rep at...

Hello, I am interested in purchasing a Strong Hand Build Pro welding table (47x38). After searching the net, I located a place that sells the table I need for only $1,931. Shipping included! Sounds too good to be true, so I thought I would inquire if any of you have ever heard of, or ordered from: h...
