I recently joined this forum after watching Jody's videos for the last year.
Having been a woodworker for my whole life and running out of challenges in that industry, I was looking for a new adventure. Having never worked with metal before, this seemed to be the right thing to try.
I love to design, engineer, and build, and I love tools.
Money can't buy happiness, but it can buy tools that make you happy!
After looking at many different designs and options, and thinking about how I would be using a welding table, I sat down and drew up a design of my own. I wanted to build a table that would last me a long time, and I hoped to build it only once.
I also understood, that nothing good in life comes cheap!
Here are some pics of my welding table.
I wanted table top that would allow me to use strong hand fixtures and clamping solutions and a quickly removable and storable vise mounted to the table top. I had the top water jetted by a fab shop in our industrial park.
I love these fixtures!
Here is my filler rod storage.
I store all the fixtures in the two drawer stacks below.
The table size is 40" (w) x 60" (l) x 38" (h), the top is 5/8" thick, the holes spaced at 4".
Thoughts and comments welcome!
What welding projects are you working on? Are you proud of something you built?
How about posting some pics so other welders can get some ideas?
