I am planning on using 4" H-beam 13lbs steel for the main table with H-beam cross suports as well. I have seen a few built out of tube but for me it would be nice to have the entire edge for clamping your work down to. The table will be aprx 15' x 40" and I have not yet figured out how high I want it. It will have good casters on it to move it around but also have adjustable feet to lock it in place and level it out.
What do you guys think that have worked on them before? Any other ideas I have not thought of or other things to work into the design? Any pic's would be nice as well.
Thanks for any input you may have.

I built my table out of 3x3 3/16" box. Your idea should work fine, but if you build tube chassis why don't you build a table out of 3/4" plate. I have a few friends that build tube chassis and they found that a table like this works great for both frame rails and tubular chassis.
