Welding Tables are often times one of the first projects that new welders like to take on. It costs a lot of time, effort and money to design, come up with a bill of materials and go out and buy everything to fabricate your custom table. Not only is it time and labor intensive, but it is very difficult to make it 100% flat.
We recently found a manufacturer of "build your own" welding tables, called Tab and Slot. These tables are not only very affordable, but they are all laser cut with tabs and slots so there is no distortion while you weld, making the table perfectly flat when you're done welding it.
In this episode, we are going to show you how easy it is to build this welding table.
If you are using this video as a guide to build your own table, here is a chapter list to jump from step to step:
Step 1 - 1:24 - Assemble the Framework
Step 2 - 4:45 - Attach & Clamp Down the Outside Framework
Step 3 - 7:37 - Fasten the Table Top to the Framework (with Bolts)
Step 4 - 9:19 - Tack the Slots Around the Outside of the Table
Step 5 - 12:26 - Tack in the Corner Stiffeners
Step 6 - 13:48 - Weld the Framework Together
Step 7 - 15:22 - Flip the Table ... Then, Tack & Weld the Table Top to the Bottom Framework
Step 8 - 18:15 - Weld the Slots Around the Edge of the Table Top
Step 9 - 19:34 - Remove the Bolts, Flip the Table and finish any remaining welds.

Rules for assembling a pre-cut fabrication kit of any kind:
1 - grind off flash, blobs, and bumps flush,
2 - de-burr every hole and corner, dress all edges,
3 - dry assemble and check for fit and alignments (square, parallel, flat, etc)
4 - correct any deficiencies found,
Then go on to assembly. Among the attrubutes of good workmanship is home-built equipment doesn't shred, maim, scalp, draw blood, scrape, grate, or slice up its user or his overalls.
Just a tip on flipping the table over, use an engine hoist attached just off center so when you lift it, it flips its self.
This guy does a perfect job in my humble opinion demonstrating how to assemble this table. I might have to buy one now.
This editing is insanely awesome.
Loving "ghost welder Bob"
This was wholesome, and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
I have considered these but ultimately went for a cast iron, fully surface machined 2000lbs welding table. Best welding investment ever made.
I like the ghost welding in backgroundbit. Worked for me. Thanks for sharing.
+Duggie West No problem Duggie. It's always fun getting new equipment in and sharing it with you guys.
Duggie West Yahanda supply high quality welding tables and clamps accessories. Any needs or ideas, contact: laker@yahanda-weld.com
I bought a 4x10 they welded it for $400. Problem saved me 2 days effort but more importantly is for the table to be flat it needs to be welded on a flat surface. For me I did not have a surface large enuff. Certiflat is a great company to do biz with and they make a great product.
Great video, one that fully explains the process, no omissions or stupid music.
This is the best welding table instructional video I've seen.
Absolutely rocks! Thank you sir!
I know this is an older video, but love watching and especially listening to him talk. Loved the fact when he said you might have to get a couple kegs and invite 6 of your buddy's over to help flip it. ...lmao, good things their building a table cause before they got it flipped I'm sure they would all be pass out on top of it.
Great video and did like the ghosting part.
This is the best welding video I ever seen. Life Changing
I scored a 4 foot by 8 foot table with two 3/4 inch plates with a 3 inch honeycomb sandwich between both plates. The top plate was ground flat as well. Probably weighs over 3000 pounds. Just about blew out my tires on my 1 ton truck taking it home.
Cost $400.
I love it.
That's my ultimate table.
Miguel S you have a forklift @ the house or did you use a gantry to unload it once you got it home ?
I love the ghost effect
The Arnold Palmer of the welding world. Great video / tutorial 🙌
so you need a welding table in order to make a welding table, great !
Fantastic. You explain things well. Did you know that there’s a ghost of you welding at about 15:00 or so? A faint you moving around the table, tack welding. Very faint but noticeable. Kind of cool.
I followed this exact procedure on the same table. My table in the middle came out crowned by about .050. I am wondering if the welding process for the top caused some distortion. Maybe do one tack in the middle then the outside and back in. Double check your top when it’s flipped over before welding to top plate on. Thank you for the video it was very informative.
This guy reminds me of George Kennedy
Great video! I just ordered a 2x3 yesterday and appreciate you making this video.
+wfletch88 No Problem. You will be very pleased, I'm sure. The other awesome thing about these fabBlocks is, if you ever want to expand that table, you can buy 1 foot extansions for each side that bolt right in the the existing holes.
Thank you Paul......!!!!
Awesomely done
Skin in the game.
If you don't get burned or bleeding.
You ain't playing the game.
Thank you much.
Great content Sir.
Pro tip: make sure the surface you use to assemble on is level before you start putting it together. Or else it's gonna be crooked when you're finished.
No joke! I bought a 3x4 when they had a sale going, and everything I heard was that it could be built on pretty much anything, even a couple sawhorses, but I cannot get this thing flat no matter what I try! I really don’t even know what to do at this point, I don’t have anything flat to build it on, and I’m out of ideas..
Been in many fab shops as i chased money and overtime+living agrangements. In Metro detroit u see only 2" to 3" slabs that ranged from 4 x10ft. to 10ft x 30ft either Blanchard groung or using 8" cutter head grinding to super accurate. In ship yards on the East coast u stsrt to see the open usually 3 x3" patern holes still grownd to super accurate. 37 YEARS in the bis.
ours down south for farm equipment/API vessels were usually 4'x10' with "hardy holes" like on anvils cut and hard surfaced into the corners.
having not only the large surface area, but the holes/tooling came in surprisingly handy when we got custom orders in.
6 or 8 friends = a couple kegs? I like the way you think :)
This is a very good video, I like the way you kept the flow of it going lots of info and good welding.
I bought a $70 fold up welding table with a steel top that is zinc plated (smart right?) and holds up to 350 pounds. I mounted a 4in vise on it.
It sucks, but it is way better than the plastic fold up table I was using before.
Really miss my grandpa now, he was such a kind soul and soft-spoken craftsman.
you can tell a welder is working when you see an adjustable wrench!
Well done! Love the ghost welding effect.
Awesome video. Great instructional video wish others could do their videos as good as this one.
Saw TabAndSlot's video; you missed turning the convex side of the top up first. That way you start welding in the center and can pull the top's edges down as you go.
5:45 might need a friend to help.... as you man handle it yourself! America needs more men like you!
First time I have seen this type of table. Much lighter, yet equally strong and flat as a 3/4" table top. Gonna have to look into this item
Great video! I have one picked out that I will be ordering once I get moved into a new shop area. I like that you can add onto these too. Pretty slick "ghost" welder there with you. A nice effect.
+Yellowdog Welding We're going to try and get some of their fabwings to show as well... Very cool design! weldtables.com/collections/fabwings
Great video. I can suggest adding more clamps especially to hold the top to the sides when welding the top. I generally use only a few clamps which I keep moving along to the area where I am tack welding.
That’s a great looking weld table!
Why did you change from MIG to TIG for the top?
I ordered one because of this. And I told them .
To build a table one must have a table
If I wanted to order that same table, what model and size is it. Part number?
Thanks
I believe it is a 36" x 48" and the model number is FB3648. I was at their website just now looking at one. It is their largest model that I could find there. It's around $900 without shipping. That is just for the top and doesn't include the leg kit and casters. The leg kit is another $245 and then you have to buy the accessories for it like the angle brackets and bolts and such. You'll probably be into it for about $1,200 when your done.
all Parts for table is 6mm sheet Steel?
Excellent tutorial. Great job.
5/8ths holes, probably most all around practical drawer size.
I am just asking but could you not weldit all from the inside of the frame work or is it supposed to be welded at every tang from the outside?
It should be welded from both the inside and out. We have another one where we just put a pack inside each of the slots and it works great.
Do you have to get the top refaced using a gantry CNC mill afterwords ?
Nicely done. Nothing more to add.....
What do you think about using an old cast iron table saw top as a weld station?
This is the Dude from Stargate Command.
Nice job old timer
Love the video. Do you have any video of the table being flipped over with the Fork truck?
Fixing to buy one of these shortly and would like to see how you have this rigged up for safe flipping as this will have to be done several times from start to finish. I only seen a few seconds on this video showing the hooks and chains. Thanks
i wanna see more of this instructor
How did you protect surface from rust? Thank you.
Beautifully done. Great video guys
disfrutó quisiera ver al soldador en uso bonito casco
was thinking of getting one of these. Love your tutorial. thank you!
Awesome table!
I saw your ghost doing some tack welds there for awhile. :) Good work on video!
I know this is going on 3 years old now, but i really want that table, if i could get a link for the table and the leg options i'd appreciate it.
Hi,
Would you say it’s a good idea to differentiate between the grinding areas and the welding area in a welding school?
Since collecting metal dust from grinding and collecting metal fumes from welding requires different clean air systems...
What would you do ?
What is metal grade sir ?
Well done ! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you very much for the video.
I too have an invisible fire extinguisher.
How much do these tables costs? Can you use stick rods when welding the table?
Great & informative video. Thanks for posting!
Given the way he built it, wouldnt the flatness be dependent on how flat it was from the start?
дякую Вам.
or we can get couple of simple harbor freight welding tables for about 60+ each and put them together.
That’s what I did! Works for me!!
Great idea, but.... what about table clamps? Won't work with Bessey table clamps. I really don't want to fiddle around with long bolts when I need to remove completed weldments every 45 minutes.
Big Bob any 5/8 inch fixtures will work like strong hand tools brand for example.
What an awesome table kit i love it
I am very interested in this table or the Strong Hand Build Pro. Thoughts in comparisons?
Great video , definitely informational
Nice design and concept but at $5200, and you still have to assemble it yourself, somebody thinks their shit don't stink.
For that price I can go buy a 6' x 12' x 3/4" plate plus another plate that size of 3/8" stock for all the backing plates and pay a skilled fab man $35 an hour to manually mill and drill every slot and hole even it takes him a week to do it.
Definitely NOT a $5200 table, the ads under the video do not lead to what he is building.
I believe he is building this 36" x 48" fab block kit. weldtables.com/products/certiflat-fb3648-fabblock-u-weld-kit-modular-welding-table
Man, that was a piss poor job of trying to make the math work to prove your ridiculous point. You aren't getting that level of precision for $35.00 an hour.
How about showing your math and proving him wrong. Where I am at a good fabricator makes far less than $35 an hour which makes his $35 pretty generous for what is remedial metal fabrication work.
Plus if you think welding work is or requires high precision you're daft. There's a reason it called welding table and not a machinists assembly table! Which are actually made from solid precision ground stone and actually cost less than those $5200 welding tables do.
Starrett sells a 36" x60" x10" solid stone machinist table for ~$4150 and precision ground to +- .0005" dead flat.
Mr Squeak The Cat. Well its a 1000 welding table used for easy setup and fixturing. But unless you use a cad setup for plas table the chances of actually getting all the holes lined up exact are probably pretty slim hand drilling. If the fab guys are that much under 35 an hour something is wrong. But those machinist stones are freaking killer tho. They had 4 or 5 at the company i used to work for and it took me forever to figure out what they actually were lol
Pretty sure you don't need holes set to 1000'ths of an inch tolerances for welding fixture set up work.
+-1/8" would be plenty accurate enough an I've been around professional fabricators and machinists for near 40 years and I don't know any who make $35 an hour that aren't overpaid union hacks. But I do know many would knock that table out to
shaky hands looked at him and thought it needs to step up its game.
honestly surprised his welds don't span the shop.
@ 7:12 I thought I heard gerbils cursing :)
My kids like the ghost.
Glad to hear it. Hopefully we can help interest them in a great trade / career path.
Good video, thanks.
I like it and it looks like a nice product... I have to ask... Why would an old man have an earring?
Maybe he's not as old as he looks. He is a welder after all.
Perhaps he got it when he was young and hasn’t taken it out?
Maybe he's a butt pirate.
Why is the earring any of your business?
WesB1972 Exactly. Let people exist.
im not very familiar with welding tables, but does it need to be this sturdy, heavy duty?
These kits are not very thick, but the lattice stressed structure makes it stable. Most welders go with the thickest table they can afford/move for the least distortion due to heating when welding and so they can tack things to the table and then grind the tacks back down for years to come. This is for investing in clamps and fixtures rather than tacking your work to the table. I built a 2' x 3' table with a 5/8" top and legs out of square tubing with big bolts and nuts as leveling adjusters for under $200 in materials... but no laser cut anything and a lot of millscale to grind off. I've been thinking about one of these for months, but will have too also invest in clamps and other fixture tools to go with it.
Nice table ,,,,I like that.....Thanks Don M.
Nice video sir!
I just made me a welding table out of all free scrap metal everything was free even the wheels. It would be very nice to have a modern-day welding table but I don't want to buy a 1,000 plus dallor table. I can be just as creative with my free scrap metal built table. The holes does make it much easier to clamp stuff down
it is very niced filmed. thx
Holy Shite the prices have gone up big time since this video!
Best way I found to skin this cat is buy plans ($29) from MakerTable.com, have local fab shop laser cut ($800) steel ($400) from local steel supplier. I used 3/8" thickness top and 1/4" thickness for webbing. I paid an additional $90 for 5/8" threaded rod, washers & nuts to make 32 clamps for assembly. Top sits on a pallet conveyor base, which I bought at auction for $25. I also purchased full-locking 5"dia. steel wheel casters (capacity 900lb each) for $80 from hywproducts.com. Prices are what I paid for a 4x6ft table in October 2019 in Charlotte, NC. Total cost $1,400. But I sold conveyor rollers & motor for $400, which helped offset cost. Best, @HoneyOnWales
What size table is that?
No brainer weld setting? The sides are 1/4" and you are welding into the slits to lock it all in. Are your settings set for 1/4"?
we're can I get one and how much$$$ thanks for all the videos
the website for the tables is www.weldtables.com they have prices there for the tables
+william Smith Price all depends on what size table you want. They range from $250 - $800 +. Their website is www.weldtables.com
That website don't seem to work.
I just tried it and it worked for me: www.weldtables.com
I did try it on another computer and it worked. Thanks
Is the table material HR mild steel, T-1 or other?
good video, love the welding table kit, afraid to ask the price. Also Paul the welder a strong Broderick Crawford resemblance.
the price is actually really good. One of the major reasons we like them so much is because they are within reach of Weekend Warriors
awesome video thank you
Would painting it interfere with the polarity from the ground clamp ?
Arabic ArcAngel. Not at all. Go ahead and paint the entire table and put an extra layer on the top surface to prevent it from scratching
Please lord help me find away to get one
yer awesome, like the way ya explain things...Greywolf
The bottom plates are overkill. I wouldnt install them, and besides, would be hard to get things accidentally falling down the holes of installed
it looks just like my demmler/blueco table. only not $40,000!
Also you can tell someone is a welder with holes in their shirt!🤭
you need a flat table to build that flat table.
Why they got the old man to do all the hard work?
Where ARE THE YOUNG PEOPLE?
AS ALWAYS VEREY NICE VIDEO
awesome
