Building a frame table/Jig table...

[Rokcrln]

That is just why I am posting this! I can have a problem sometimes with tunnel vision and once I get an idea in my "air trap" I just go for it and once it is done I think "Oh I should have..." So any ideas would be great.

Bighead~ I hear what you are saying about the bolt down option but I have two thoughts on that. 1. I would worry about all the welding, cutting and grinding messing up the threads. 2. My friends Dad always welded the work to the table and said bolting things down will still let them move just a bit as you weld things up. I think he is right on this but at the same time he built race chassies for Huffaker racing and used dial calipers on frame work How about sizes and heights, any opions?

Kevin,

If you swing buy next week you can check out my table and that should give you a good idea where to start. I checked out your other threads and your work is outstanding. I would like to do a little sponging off of you if possible.

Thanks~ And yes we will do some sponging next week. I am thinking Tuesday or thursday should work for me. Wensday's are holy pool and beer night here in winters and I have only missed about 3 since I moved here.
