Welding Table

[ERASER5]

I've been needing a welding table. Welding on top of the wood work bench has some problems. I looked at the Harbor Freight welding table and it looks a bit flimsy. I'm sure I could blow holes in it with my fancy welding skills. (cough) The HB is not real cheap, for what you get either, but I suppose it is better than nothing. But I put it off again and again because i just wanted something better.

Soooo I finally got something better. A lot better. Back story: My company builds test machinery. Due to changes, sometime the steel scrap bin is a treasure trove. This time the treasure was a 4ft 5in X 30in by 1/4in plate. Not one but two! Each plate was folded 4in on each long side. So the top was 22in deep. Those folds meant a very stiff table top. I made a be line to my boss and we rescued the doomed metal. And because I do not steal from the company, I replace the metal "scrap" with real scrap. About 300 lb of rotors and drums. All is good.
