Great video. There should be a direct link to this video on the leg kit page of your website. Instead, the only video that's there is one regarding assembling the block top. I had to come to TH-cam and manually search to find this. Steve
The blocks look really cool, but it's not my style. I do have two tables from the cerfiflat company where the posts slid over a cross-section of the flat bars. It's very sturdy with just a few 1 inch tacks.
I found when I was welding mine today that you need to clean off the pipe to weld it strong. It is covered in oil and scale, so if you're going to tig it I recommend polishing it with a flap disk and using acetone prior to tig welding. Mig is fine too, almost all of the other videos the tables are mig welded. I did mine with Flux Core, to say the least it burns through rust but it had a hard time with the pipe even when I cleaned the crap out of it.
HA. I see now that you guys cheated out on the bolts per design. I bought my fab block and leg kit a few years ago and just now got to assembling it and you only include 2 bolts per plate not 3 which would anchor 3 holes as the “4th” hole is the leg. Cheap cheap cheap but not really. Now either I weld it or go buy my own “missing” bolts that should go in the corner. I mean your intent was to bolt the plate to the block so why cheap me out on 4 bolts, nuts and washers. Pisses me off. Not sure if I’ll buy any more of your accessories for this expensive investment. Good thing I’m only a hobbyist. Also good thing your caster bolt quantity is correct.

I just got my 3x4 pro table top and I am loving it !!!!
This is now on my shopping list. Great products!
I bought a 24x24" kit from eastwood but the height of the legs is too short in my opinion, thanks for posting this. I lost my assembly guide.. :D

Will the weld on the plate interfere with the caster and need to be ground flat so it will fit?
Great design...how can I get these for my college student's welding booths!!!!! Please e-mail me. Thanks.
Is it necessary to TIG it together or is MIG just fine?
