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?

Nice!
That propping apparutus is a clever touch.
It looks like you have some space constraints too. A compact welding table was a first project for me when I upgraded to an AC/DC TIG unit, since nothing off-the-shelf really suited my purpose as well. The metal brake is a new addition to it.

I really really want a lathe in the garage, but then I need a bigger garage. But if I get a bigger garage then I can get a mill and some other tools we "need". As I say to my wife: "I only buy things we need".
Then, probably the new garage will be to small and we need a even bigger garage. Then I can get more tools that "we" need.
Oh dear, oh dear. Where is this going to end...
Nice work by the way, Anders

I'm in the same boat. Been looking at 10x20 lathes and every time I need it I try to find room.but I've already got both vehicles outside. Plus I'll have to ad AC. Can't let stuff like that rust. Already started priming the wife last summer told her I needed a bigger shop with good power. Close to home but not visible from the house. Then I'd have room for the Hossfeld bender and a mill. And a 4ft sheer. And a 200 lb anvil. And a small forge. And an over head crain with an anchor system in the floor. And a small plaz table.
I have more questions than answers

I know that whole system with rust on equipment. We have a mammoth dehumidifier on my school shop. When they updated the HVAC system they neglected to route it into the shop. Wisconsin summers are humid as hell so everything gets coated in a 1/8" of grease. That is one hell of a big anvil at 200 lbs. That shop you want is gonna be nice with the crane, shear, benders, machining tools. Hope your wife sees it your way. Remind the car would be back in the garage especially during the winter months in Iowa.Poland308 wrote:I'm in the same boat.

A student now but really want to weld everyday. Want to learn everything about everything. Want to become a knower of all and master of none.

Nice work Anders.
The rest of you blokes need to look up Boyles law (of sheds), roughly stated as;
"The amount of equipment, tools,toys,crap will always expand to take up all available space"
You're doomed and will never have enough room.
I too am a victim of this evil, insidious physical law.

Nice job and project design. How much do you estimate if can hold, maybe 50 to 75 lbs? That's enough for many jobs.
Had my welder on it, that's 46 lbs, no worries
Maybe try sitting on it but 207 lbs might be asking for trouble

Dang...I have at least 46lbs of shit on my table that shouldn't be there that I am too lazy to put away. I think welding tables should be rated by how much unnecessary stuff you can pile on them plus whatever project you are trying to fit on itAndersK wrote:Had my welder on it, that's 46 lbs, no worries

Looks like you struck a good balance between portability and strength,it should serve you well for a very long time.AndersK wrote:Had my welder on it, that's 46 lbs, no worries
