The part where you flip the table and remark there might be a better to do that while chuckling was relatable.., I thought to myself I could hang out with guy lol
Lol thanks man
I think you need a welding table to make a welding table. So, all you need is a $30,000 tractor to make your welding table. Nice job!
Foldable curtain between beautiful car and crappy weld splatter is a must imo. Sorry just read the rest of the comments on your TA.
I second the mig settings tho . . . it's a welding video after all :-)
I'm not an expert welder, nor a good welder, or even a beginner welder BUT if it was me doing it I would be using magnetic angle guides to get your legs straight. I always call using spirit levels, getting it level with the world. You need the legs level with the table not the world - not your concrete slab. Good welding mate, I wish I could do that.
Nice. Add an X brace to support the heavy work pieces. And a shelf or two underneath to hold clamps and dogs.
I have been in the SF community for the past 20 years as a civilian. Just retired... been making prototypes for these guys 14 years, teaching for six. Making my own welding table for home garage use. That is why I looked this up. You did gather your materials cheaply but I love that. Shop around guys. If you need a weapon mount yell. Loved the God blees. Merry Christmas
Your a army sf
Wow that surely heavy duty table. Nice one 👍
thanks for the support
I was thinking ouch concrete floor.😂
Shelves on the bottom for storage and structural integrity?
Good job man.
Great job and this solidified my decision to go with a 1/4" top so that was very helpful.
Thank you
Hopefully this isn't too late - but my 1/4" top warped similarly. My recommendation would be, and if I could do it over again, is weld your frame up square and as true as possible and then put the top on last and use minimal welding to hold top to the frame. Too may welding tables I've seen here on youtube have the top as part of the structural part of the table, which requires more welding to it. If your structure is a good strong and square frame you'll barely need to weld top to it and it won't warp. Good luck.
I think you're a good welder, and did a great job :) I think you should shout yourself a new welding helmet, I'm only a beginner welder but a mate loaned me his new one and it's amazing. Incredible clarity, allows you to see exactly what is happening in colour, self-darkens instantly, really comfortable, you won't believe the improvement. I fully respect your old-school skills though. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks man. I actually just got a newer helmet it’s worlds better
Great project. I was running around evaluating prefab stuff and came to the same conclusion you did.
Yes sir thank you. Yeah it’s a lot
Of junk
do yourself a solid and weld on 2 lifting rings. Space them 3 feet apart and then use 2 straps. will keep the table from swinging around wildly when you are lifting/flipping it over
Can you please do a review on your Tractor ? What you use it for, what implements you have for it. The good & bad and what you would change ect.
Great job on table !!
Thanks
Thank you. Yes I will thanks for the support
Great video! The only thing I would add is lockable casters.
Thanks! Yep wish I would have
Awesome Video. I just came across your channel. A few days ago I bout myself a flux welder so I can begin to lean welding. I want to build myself a welding table but I don't have a garage so its too dangerous to have one outside because the lighting strikes around my area are just to close and powerful. So axed out that idea. Keep up the awesome work. Oh If it were my table I would have built a divided underneath platform so I could keep all the things Ill need close by. Such as your welding markers, measuring tape, safety equipment etc.
Very nicely done I have a similar table in my shop I built 20 years ago still going strong.
Thanks man! Hope your doing well. Thanks for the support
Good Job! Subscribed. I will be making a video of one myself soon. You are very correct about just try, fail or succeed and you will have more success.
Yes sir that’s the way of life! Thank you! Subscribed can’t wait to see how yours turns out.
Nice job & great video! Thank you!
Thank you very much!
What a fantastic and affordable build. I got my Welding Table given to me but of course it was a mess the way they built it. I have almost got it straightened out and put four locking 6-in casters on it from Amazon. About $130 worth. I found that the table is very hard to guide when you are trying to push it in and out of the shop or any place. It wants to go everywhere except where you want to go. I figured it out that I could put some heavy duty butt hinges on two corners on opposite ends of the table. You can clamp or Bolt the hinges on to the leg above the caster. Get the caster going straight parallel with the table lengthwise. The butt hinge is mounted horizontal to the leg. Let the hinge drop down on top of the caster. Mark and cut it so that the outsides of the hinge will fall to the outsides of the caster. When you want the table to go straight just fold the hinge down to hold the Caster straight. I also put a trailer hitch on the table so that my yard tractor can move it wherever I want it no matter how heavy it is.
Looks good dude. Awesome job.
White Vinegar works well for removing rust too
Thanks for the tip!
Great build!!!!!!! I hope that beautiful T/A was out of harms way (flying sparks).
Thanks for the video.
Awesome !
Thanks
Great build, on my to-do list.
Great video! Keep up the good work
Awesome job!
Thanks for the visit
5:17 Is that the arm of a cotton t-shirt you're wearing as a welding cap?
😂 yes
Nice job!👍
Well done, sir. Well done.
Thanks man.
Pretty nice. But honestly, for the effort you put into that table, I would have spent a bit more for at least a 1/4” plate.
nice video man, keep em coming. Would maybe suggest for a 2.0 welding table to add those Lockable cart wheels (for safety) Also, would be nice to know the mig settings you ended up being used for best results :)
Thank you. Good ideas for sure. Next welding project I’ll definitely share the settings. Thanks for the support
Man put a welding blanket over the glass of that car or back it out when you weld. The spatter will destroy glass.
😂I dont need to watch.The thumbnail conveys all the information I need. Nice job
Might want to remove the mill scale before welding... It helps a lot!
Hot damn. Well done 👍 🇺🇸
Nice one!
Thanks you
Imagine walking into the corner of that like a coffee table?
Came for the welding table, stayed for that CRAZY sexy Trans-Am in the background!!
Haha thanks man! I just finished building an LS engine for it. Can’t wait to rip it!
You might be a bit taller than I am but I'm thinking that your table is a bit too tall fo rme. I would prefer a table about 30 inches, allowing me to reach the center of the table for some welds.
I would also suggest an auto-darkening helmet. They make is SO much easier to set and tack initial welds.
Nice video
Thanks
If you made the frame first, and made it straight, then you could have just tacked the top on with a few small tacks so it didnt warp, and had a really flat top. 👍
And yeah like others have said here definitely swap out those castors for locking ones.
Great video, thanks for sharing. 🙂
You should have put brace between the legs so no bending of the legs
Great job, never mind the haters 😊
drill some lock down holes in the top.
That's in the plans! Thanks for watching!
Is muriatic acid the same stuff as rust remover? Where do you get it?
I can't believe what people are charging for prefab weld tables, just because it's a "weld table".
This table looks great. I probably would have added cross bracing to the legs though.
Keep it up
Thanks for the support man!
@@ProjectDadLife absolutely brother. Great channel
“You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.” - Wayne Gretzky
I know a guy that built a welding table put of steel grates welded together and a set of legs, all made from stuff he scavenged off of demolition jobs.
The first time he used it, he needed to weld a small excavator bucket. Well, he made the table too tall and he didn't have a good angle to weld. He pushed the bucket onto the ground and used the table to rest his arm for a steady. 😂
That’s awesome that material can get so pricey
“Cheap “ pulls out priceless tractor 😭💀 great vid tho
It’s not priceless it’s $240 a month😂
Do you have any info on building a welding table “hood”? Thank you
Not really I don't do enough welding honestly for it to be worth it for me.
How did you dispose and manage your muric acid?
Anyone know what brand the “sand paper disc” are I’m curious and want to get some
I think those were Diablo
USA --ALL THE WAY !! NICE WELDS
Thank you felt a little rusty at first
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Sounds like you got your wire speed dialed in about half way through.
*Edit: You said that 😆
Lol yeah it took me a minute! I still really couldn’t get a solid burn for some reason. Practice makes perfect though I’m rusty
Wait, the casters don't lock? Why not?
Didn’t really see I need for it. The wheels are heavy rubber and honestly don’t roll very easily
No locking castors? By locking I mean they have a brake, not they are tied to a parallel.
Nope I didn't really think id need them. thanks for watching
are you putting holes in it?
Eventually I will.
Great build video. Thanks for sharing
What was the liquid you used to clean the metal with you flashed it in front of the camera so fast. You couldn't read it and you couldn't pause to see what it said
Nice one
Thanks 🔥
Locking casters?
My thoughts too. As soon as he leans on it to weld or puts something heavy on it and try to move it on the tabletop the whole table is going to move.
Wszystkie kola bez hamulca 🤔
If you don't have a welder, you really don't need a wekding table
.....I do a lot of welding. But thanks for watching!
so 3 days of your labor + material ???? should have done locking casters.... make sure to shampoo your persian rug when you clean up.
Had no idea it was a persian rug! Thanks for watching
Looks a bit tall to me
i love standing to work sitting down to much kills my bak
100% MADE IN USA 😀
Damn right!
iThink the welds gona be crack Better use flux core or a stick for that material
Thanks for the heads up.
I'm going to build 💪🏿 a table just like that one 15:26
Awesome thanks for the support
3/8-1/2in
You’ll thank me later
sorry for being a tool - 3/16 of what ? mm?
An inch
Find it rather amusing these videos who refer to the cheapest (budget) tables claiming already had metal. Whether they did or not…..it would not be cheap to replicate given current metal prices….. Really a joke…..
Great work but how can you weld near a car like this? Is it such a shit car that it doesn't matter any more?
Does it have to be that heavy ? Because everyone does not have a tractor to lift it . Complete nonsense video which labeled ‘’ cheapest table ‘’
STOP DOING THAT WITH YOUR HANDS PLEASE
CRINGE
That's a horrible table good luck trying to clamp something to the edge
What kind of welder ?
Awesome!
Thank you! Cheers!.
