My dad gave me some metal, and I needed to do a project in class so I just built it there. Glad I did, it would have taken alot longer at my place.

Frame tacked, was within 1/32" diagonally so I figured it was good to go


Caster Plates


Welded to the legs


All tacked up




Welded up. Dont mind my raggedy MIG welds, it's been a couple of months since I've MIG'd lol







Casters on


Flipped upright. Not a mm of wobble


Backed my truck up to it, and layed the plate on it. Centered it and welded it on overhead.



Bottom view. Frame is 52"x36", Plate is 4'x6'x3/8". I would have liked to have a 5x3 frame, but I only had two 47" pieces of channel and a 7', so that was the largest I could do. Gussets were a bunch of 18-20" pieces I had.


Back to the house, coated everything with ospho after hitting the plate with grinder/wire wheel. Was fun getting this out with two people as it weighs atleast 500lbs.


Flame cut holes for a large non shitty wilton (made in USA ones) that my instructor gave me, I just need to finish doing some work to it.


My massive work area. I put that wall up to divide the garage to give me my own "space"


my old table, going to use the toolbox to mount my crap HF bandsaw to it.....


sorry, no baller TIG beads

 

Looks like **** :p

Good job, man!

 

looks good. all i kept thinking was , jesus christ how is he gonna get that thing home?

 

yeait was easier that expected. just flipped up the tall way, backed my truck up and flipped in on the bed upside down, took like 4 people. got it out the opposite way with me and a buddy, almost called that clown that posted above you for help

 

that loooks really nice .. and looks stronge enough to have fun on top on it hahahahaha good job!

 

Thats like 250 bucks in metal isnt it? I tried to buy a piece of metal like that once. DAMN metal is expensive when you have to buy it. lol

 

looks heavy, I would hate to bang my knee of that thing!

 

I have no idea, it was extra metal that my dad had.

but $250 sounds about right.

 

I don't like how the top hangs off the edge so much, If you ever had to work one something very heavy and set it on the edge of the table i would be scared of everything falling and killing myself.

I know the table is heavy, but im talking about putting heavy parts on that might require prying, etc.. might get tippy (especially with the wheels).

Looks good for a basic work bench though.

 

I would have loved to have the frame a little longer, but ita all the channel I had. that table isnt going to tip over, unless I was putting like 1000lbs of weight on the edge. I meanmaybe if I was stacking engine blocks on the edge or something, lol. im more concerned about the edge eventually "bending" down with time, but I can put gussets on the corners to stop that. it has wheels, but you can barely move it with one person its so heavy.

of course, id love to build another one later with 3/4" top and legs ~6" from each side and no wheels, one day.

 

Dam eric u did a badass job on them welds dude, shyt look clean as fk, now build me a fkin rollcage for the eg!

 

looks good.

This is exactly what I need, my other table is two big to move around.

 

nice build hope u build some more shop tools n put pics up
