I'm brewing up a welding table....
Here's some pictures so far.
Most everything except the 3/8" plate pieces were scrap or clearance table stuff.
I paid an unheard of $17 (total!) for the 5" casters (truly $110-120 value in casters)...
Sometimes you are in the right place at the right time...
Paid $14 dollars for the bolts nuts and washers to fasten them!

Well done! If you take the time to look, sometimes you'll be suprised at what you can find. It seems like it all averages out for me. Sometimes I get smokin deals on stuff and other times I pay through the nose.
Sometimes there's no second chances.

98 % done after today...
I added some tool widgets.
Added a bottom shelf for more storage.
Wrestled with taking the cup out of the two 3/8" plate pieces.
That's a whole other story....
I got the flatness down to a little under 1/16" over the 5 foot dimension.
OK, time to have it start paying for itself....

PS Jigantor... Close enough to Miller blue in real life... It is Ace Hardware (Rustoleum) "Safety Blue"Last edited by 1Killerbee; 07-29-2010 at 05:49 PM.
