Welding table build

[Bryan L]

I have been trying to collect the material to build a table for some time now and finally have all that I needed.
I thought that I might as well take some pics during the build to share. Now to start with I must say that this table is not intended to be a 100% true worktop.

Materials:
4 ~ 31" 2"x2" square tubing (3/16" wall)
8 ~ 31" 2"x2" angle (3/16" wall)
4 ~ 4"x4" plate (1/4" thick)
1 ~ 48" x 48" (1/4" thick)

I chose to make my table with a base of 35" square for a couple reasons. First is that I wanted adequate overhang of the top plate for clamping.
The second reason is that I had 12' lengths of 2x2 angle but they were not perfect 12' long and I did not want scraps left over.
I wont describe every pic and I don't have a drawing. But if requested I am sure it can be arranged.







I tacked the top plate to the base with 1" welds in two places on each side.
I am not totally done yet as I will be putting a power bar under the table, A hanger for my grinders and my vise.

Please resize them too. 800 x 600 is big enough. Many of us are on dial-up. Thanks.

I would recomend you round the corners off.

[Bryan L]

how much of the corners would you round off?

[fabricator]

Dont really need much ,just find something round about 4 inches across and put it at the edges to lay out a mark. A steel edge pointing out like that is a bad thing especially with a child that is the same height.

Im jealous. Even your wooden welding table is better than the one Ive got. Oh thats right Im still kneeling on the concrete to do my stuff. Works getting thin. I guess I have time this winter.
