Great organizational skills and patience to get the parts prepped before starting the build. I learned several new things, THANKS!
Thanks for watching Mike! Glad i could help.
Great build - combining the weld table and brake is sure an original idea. Love the video format - all action and no chatter!
Hey, thanks for watching! The brake/table combo has been super handy in saving space. I don't know how I'd fit it in my little shop if it weren't combined. It's definitely in need of a cover to keep it clean though.
This design and walk through including that cut off saw is one the best videos on TH-cam. BTW I appreciate how you used the design on paper then made that a template. But when you started using the tig I started to get very unhappy because I have never tried to tig weld.
That’s it I’m now going to get a tig. Once again this is one of the best videos I’ve ever seen as I have learnt a better way to design my welding table
Thank you for the kind words! It would have been a lot faster to MIG the table together, but I'd like to weld more stainless in the future so I bought a TIG/stick machine. Even stick welding would have been faster, but it makes too much smoke for my little shop.
Wow dude. amazing skills shown in this video. Not only in your 3d modeling, but your video editing and lastly your actual craftmanship. This is so impressive. You deserve a ton more views!
Thank you! I really appreciate that. I've got lots more projects on the way - slowly but surely!
@@PunkerBuilds you're very welcome my dude! I'm in the process of building out my met workshop in my garage. planning to make some videos and stream some stuff too down the road.
Currently im deciding on how i want to make my welding table.
@@shibbling Best of luck to you in pursuing your garage shop! I hope my build gives you some ideas!
Very interesting; we don't often see a brake on a welding table! We posted this video on our homemade tools forum this week :)
I appreciate that! Your post more than doubled this newbies views overnight! Thank you.
Very beautiful welding / work table. Love this muilt use design. Love the videos. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend. Weld on. Fab on. Keep making. God bless.
Awesome job! Great video. A++ on design, fab and creativity.
Thank you Timothy! I greatly appreciate it!
Exceptional build. It was a real pleasure to watch . . . and learn a few things. I've been contemplating my own table build for a while and this has helped me a great deal with some design choices that I've been contemplating. Thank you, and keep up the good work.
Thank you! I'm glad you found it helpful Vincent.
Really like it! I think I would make a few changes based off my needs, but I can certainly appreciate the work and thought that went into this build. I LOVE the use of torsion box framing for a dead flat surface. I'm glad Im not the only one that sits there and labels each part even with my own designs. LOVE IT!!!!!
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it! Sadly it didn't come out flat. I think it's a combination of... 1. I welded the vertical fillets at the intersections of the slats and they shrunk a lot, bending the table and making it convex, and 2. I used twice as many stitches as I probably needed. I still use it all the time but eventually, I'll get the top laser cut with the fixture holes and try again. When I have the extra money that is lol.
@PunkerBuilds woodworking types are using a Parf guide for their dog hole bench tops. If you used the jig and maybe an annular cutter, you could skip the whole laser step.
WOW! I can't believe you edited all that work into a 23 min-48 sec video. Very well done. I subscribed/liked and very much look forward to seeing what projects are in your future.
Awesome build!
beautiful work mate!!! thoroughly enjoyed that build out, start to finish!!! your skills are top notch!!!
Thank you Paul! I appreciate it. It was definitely a fun one!
Wow! Thanks for sharing. Now that’s a great workstation!
Thank you Brenton!
this how to make the impossible possible. Golden work Bro.
Thanks man!
WOW!!! awesome table dude!!!
Thank you, Antonio!
very organized and meticulous. Fantastic Job.
Thank you!
Sensacional!! Parabéns pela incrível bancada!! Esperando mais vídeos, pois faz com muito capricho!! 👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻👊🏻
Thank you!
Wow! You are an artist!
Thank you Patrick!
Incredible table! Nice work!
Thank you Bradley!
Nice Rhinoing. Nice table design and useful features too! Great job.
Thanks for watching Carl!
Awesome build! I very much want to build one like this myself with drop down ends. Super cool!
Thank you! It's really useful!
Great job !!!
Thank you!
what a video, whole thing packed with skill, love it.....Subscribed
Thank you! I appreciate the subscription! More videos to come.
wish I could afford the metal. The prices are out of this universe crazy. nice bench thanks for showing it to us. gives me ideas for when I gather enough scrap pieces over the next couple years from different people and places.
Ohhh man, I know what you mean. No way I would be building that table now. Everytime I have to buy material it just instantly blows my budget lol.
@@PunkerBuilds right. I'm wanting to build a couple cars and trailers. I can't afford the material to get my stuff setup in my shop let alone do cars or trailers. Everything I see a bed frame in the trash I pick it up lol
You gotta do what you gotta do! Good on ya for being resourceful. I've only been buying the leftover off-cuts from my suppliers and pickings are slim.
Idk what blew my mind more. The paper notch idea or the fact that u tig welded everything.
Thank you Hellboy! Welding the whole thing in TIG definitely took... probably... 3 times longer lol. I dream of the day that I'll have enough space for multiple machines!
@@PunkerBuilds i bit the price bullet and bought a multimatic 220 prefect machine in my eyes
Nice! I took the risk and got an Everlast 255EXT. It runs perfectly and was significantly cheaper than Miller so I've been very happy with it.
Good job! Of all of the homemade welding tables I see, this one is the best. Greast from argentina!
Thank you! I appreciate it. It's exactly what I needed, thats for sure!
Bro good shit one of the most relaxing build videos!
Thanks man! I appreciate that. Thanks for watching!
Exceptionally well done ✅👍
Thank you Michael!
Massive overkill! But hey if you can and want to, smash it! Well done
Thanks! It's held up well lol.
This is DOPE...!!!
Thank you Justin!
Nice job using TIG on all of it ,biggest efforts go to filming and editing the whole lot 👍
Cheers from Aus
Thanks for watching! TIG deffinitely didn't make it a very fast build, that's for sure lol.
Bad ass work bro
Thank you Chad!
I am inspired!
Glad I could help!
Well young man you're kind of a scruffy lookin character but you do a damn fine job fabbing I must say. Excellent work!
Ha! Thank you, I learned from a lot of other scruffy characters!
thank you very much
You're very welcome.
Rhino! Commending you on a hard program to use. Love the design.
Thanks! I was taught it as a jeweler and it's been extremely handy to know!
Wow great work! Subscribed..
Thank you!
Great!
Thank you!
Perfect👌
Thank you Alexander!
Good video
Well done…!
Thank you!
This table is Owersome!!! Subscribed. Can you share a link for a bending machine?
Hi! Thank you, I'm glad you liked it! This is the sheet metal brake i bought. The same exact machine/model is sold under other names so it's somewhat common. www.kmstools.com/magnum-48-quot-box-pan-metal-brake.html
cool
the title should be TIG WELDING a welding table! Nice work, did you end up painting it?
Haha, thank you! No I didn't, it's really dry where I live so the only spots that have lightly rusted were spots I spilled water on it lol.
Did you do all the cad work too? The planning and execution is almost more impressive than the the table itself - and the table is impressive!
Thanks Christopher! Yup, I did it all! From CAD I made myself 12 pages of shop drawings to build from. I also did the video editing and animated the rat at the end!
everything is awesome, but that fisheye effect with black borders annoys a bit
Thanks! Got a new camera since then.
I w oi uldve watched a hour plus long video if you would have included more in depth details and design thoughts. Awesome build!
Thank you Chris! I definitely plan on going more indepth in the future, I'm still getting used to making videos!
Great build. Is that 2x2 3/16" wall square tubing?
Thanks! It was actually 1/8" but if I did it again I would use 3/16" or 1/4" and ditch the reinforcing pads.
Lekker
Thanks!
Buen video, pero quien cuernos te asesora con la música y con el volúmen?
If I give you $50...
Edit: I saw techniques and got advice that gives me confidence to HAVE A GO. Cheers Mate!
More edit: this is the short version, where the extended version... where you made me one. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 or the $50, which ever works.
Lol, cheers! There's 14 pages of technical drawings on my patreon if you like the design.
@@PunkerBuilds - Nice... I see what you did there. But, having made heaps of ad-hoc, roll-with-punches type projects that always end up as rustic agrarian art work, these plans would actually really help.
(THIS READS LIKE A BOT AD). Let's go Brandon: that should fix it.
Hello, I would like your help, welding tables that have holes on the plate from which specific metal is the plate of the table?
thank you very much
That would be mild steel. Which is 44w or A36 steel. I'm pretty sure mine is A36. I would'nt go any thinner than 1/4".
Why bother making the table bolt together? Planning on taking it apart later? and do you plan on drilling holes in the top? Did it end up very flat?
tell me your software for drawing desain
If you sold DXF files that guys could take to a local plasma/lase/waterjet shop I bet you could sell these plan "kits! Probably sell enough fast where you could buy your own plasma table!
I would absolutely consider it! For now, there's a 14 page package of build plans on my patreon. It includes a full cut list.
@@PunkerBuilds I have a giant certiflat 5x10 table but just figured it could be a great business opportunity for oyu with such a great skillset in cad. Keep up the great work!
Thank you Robert!
Great build! Did you end up drilling holes where the circles are on the top?
Super! Want one like this but... start with a basic one first :(
Hey, thanks for watching! - It's a lot easier to build a table when you've already got one to work on. Your first welding table doesn't have to be your last. Cheers.
I really messed up when building my table .. I used a wire feed 😳 Hope it holds
There's nothing wrong with wire feed! A good weld is a good weld with any process. I only own a TIG/stick machine and didn't want to deal with all the smoke/soot from stick. TIG was really slow though.
I’ve made my career as a Welder/Fabricator foe 45 years, and that my dude is a proper table! Your design is… shit, I want the plans for my personal shop! Your “DOG” is better than my dogs! and a lot of your techniques are really cool! I wish I had them in my head when I was working, prolly would have a bit more hair.
Let me know if I can buy or steal you plans…
Goodonya!
Thank you Brady! I will deffinitely be making the plans available over on my patreon! I just haven't gotten around to the couple revisions i wanted to make. I will definitely be releasing the 12 pages of plans though!
@@PunkerBuilds I’ll be waiting for them. I’ll check out your Patreon.
Beautiful work I'm just getting into welding I would love to know are well to sell cad plan cause I would love to build the same table for my garage
Thank you Elioner, and welcome to the awesome world of welding! It is an excellent skill to have. I do indeed have a 14 page drawing package available on my patreon which comes with a full cut list and notes on how to approach welding the table. www.patreon.com/punkerbuilds
what size of hollow sections for the main structure and the flat bars underneath the top? awesome built mate
Hey Hayden, I used 2" x 2" x 3/16" HSS for the frame and most of the flat bar was 2" x 1/4" except the very front and two sides have 1" x 1/4" FB. If you're interested, I have a 14 page package of drawings with a cut list on my patreon.
What thickness plate did you decide on for your table top? Great build!
I went with 1/4", thanks for watching!
Could you please tell what computer program you used for the blueprints? Thanks.
The program is called Rhinoceros 3D, version 5.
Did you end up drilling the fixture holes?
Not yet Tim. I changed jobs and the new shop doesn't have a mag drill to borrow lol.
Great content!
6:54 How did you make those "overlap patterns" on paper ?
Hi Sergey! Thank you for watching! Since I had the 3d model in CAD (Rhino is the program i use) I intersected/cut the shapes in CAD, then unrolled/flattened the outside surface to get that profile shape. I then printed it out 1:1 scale.
That alot of Tig welding
It really was.
What's the name of that software man, awesome video by the way.
That is Rhinoceros 3D. Thanks!
Nice table man. Rough idea of how many hours you have into it?
Thanks Erik! Excluding the time i spent screwing around with the camera, it took around 80 hours. It was built over evenings/weekends over 6 months though. TIG welding sure didn't make it faster lol.
I assumed it took a while! Nice work. I have no software experience and am a noob at welding but I admire your effort into showing/editing the design/prep/layout, as well as the build. There’re lot of guys & gals doing incredible work out there, off the cuff so-to-speak, but your actual build shows how much time you probably saved not d’ing around with designing on the fly.
Nothing more then constructive criticism to say you’d probably find a niche market explaining the design software/prep significance, since your fab is clearly professional. You may help those who actually want to be more then hobbyists by demonstrating how much time is saved ($$$ made) by investing in the prep?
Just a stranger’s 2cents! Nice job on the entire video/build. I hope the table serves you well! E-
I appreciate that!
I would definitely like to get into the more DIY/explanation type videos in the future - Especially on the design methodology side of things. My background is as a jewellery designer and I've been a full-time fabricator for years now. So PunkerBuilds combines my design background with industrial fabrication experience.
As for the software/welding experience, it's all about patience and persistence. When I actually get around to building things, it's usually the 3rd, 4th or 5th iteration of a design. Whether its welding or a new program, it comes down to picking up little tricks, bit by bit, untill you have an arsenal to work with.
Thanks for watching! More cool stuff to come! Cheers.
What CAD software do you use?
Rhinoceros 3D
What brand and model metal saw are you using?
That would be a Makita LC1230, 12" saw. It's been an absolute champ.
beautiful table and video, what software do you use to model the project at the start of the video?
Thanks !
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it. The CAD program is called Rhinoceros 3D.
@@PunkerBuilds Thank you for your reply. Did you make the cutting patterns with this software? because it's really interesting
Yup! I try to get all the problems sorted out in CAD before I begin to build anything. The software can make technical/dimensional drawings to work from but its all pretty manual and tedious. For those cope patterns, I was able to 'unroll' the outside surface so it was flat, then printed in 1:1 scale to wrap around the tube. It saves me tons of time. Rhino can make models for 3d printing and files for cnc cutting. It's not cheap but i like it because its a one-time purchase with no monthly subscriptions. I took a class to learn it. The prints to build this table are on my patreon.
@@PunkerBuilds Thank you very much for the clarification. personally I have solidworks, very complete but not necessarily easy to do this type of realization and I have not yet found to unroll the cuts and make patterns.
Ah yes! Solidworks is deffinitely a more powerfull program and superior for engineering mechanical parts. I've found Rhino to be a more intuitive design process and its excellent for surface development. They have a 90 day free trial that's definitely worth a look!
tidy job
Thank you Tom!
Any idea what the raw materials cost you for this project? I priced out a table design last month $500 for the top and $500 for the rest. That’s with renting a mag drill for the holes. I put the project on hold.
Yeah steel prices have gotten a little ridiculous. In steel alone it was a little under $700 Canadian dollars at the time. All in with hardware, casters, brake and vise, it was a little over $2,000. Not including filler metal or abrasives. I have a 14 page package of shop drawings on my patreon that has a full break down.
@@PunkerBuilds Great build!! I havent used patreon before so do i pay the $3 subscription for the plans or is that just for the videos. I really want to buy these plans.
@@deepstatearmory Hello Jess! I'm sorry I didn't see this comment in time. I saw that you did end up subscribing on Patreon and I super appreciate it! I hope you were able to get the plans and that they're what you're looking for.
👍👍👍👌
👋👋
Awsome skills bro! How long did it take you to learn how to use that 3d cad program? Iam interested in learning, iam a metal fabricator and welder.
Thanks Timmy! I initially learned Rhino 3D about 10 years ago by taking a class in college. I learned it because it's a common CAD program for jewelers and that's what i went to school for. I carried it over after I became a welder and it has served me well since. It probably took 3 or 4 months to be comfortable in but I'm still learning new tricks. I would reccomended trying fusion 360 or google sketchup - both are either free or have free versions. I haven't used them much/at all but i know people talk highly of them for getting started.
@@PunkerBuilds Thanks for your reply ill be sure to check them out. Learning how to use these programs will take my business to the next level.
Are you aware of any programs where you can take a photo, then do some technical drawings on? Like taking a picture of a space then drawing a rudimentary staircase on for your measurements, then going into Cad to design the staircase.
I think the short answer is yes lol. In Rhino, the program i use, its just a command called "picture" and it imports any picture that i can set in the virtual space, manipulate, change the transparency and draw on top of it. The trick is making sure the picture is taken relatively square to thing you're trying to reference. I use it all the time to transfer my pencil sketches into the program, then draw the curves on top. It will be different for each program but i believe it is fairly common.
@@PunkerBuilds Sweet man, I hope fusion 360 has a feature like that, I've been checking it out since you suggested it. A cool feature with fusion is you can up load designs on to a cnc plasma. So handy for repetitive cleats and base plates. Iam sure you could do that with Rino too. Fusion looks like it has some great features for a metal shop. Thanks for suggesting it!
You're welcome, have fun! It definitely takes time and patience to learn but it's sooo handy.
Are u selling the plans ??
I do intend to post them on my patreon, yes, but I haven't had the chance to revise them yet.
I NEED ONE HOW MUCH FOR IT?
Hi! I have build plans available over on my patreon: www.patreon.com/posts/56084453
This build cost me about $2,200 in material and hardware (including the brake) but prices have gone up since Covid.
Your veido very faster
You guys wanna borrow my MagDrill?
Ha, It's definitely on my long list of needed tools!
rust is not a problem? why not paint it?
Not really, it's dry where I live. I'll get it sand blasted and painted some day but its been a year and it's fine.
this bench will cost $4k today in just steel alone.
Yeah! It's insane. I'm glad I built it when I did because it practically doubled.
Я не понимаю половины рукодельной работы. Неужели ручной труд (и время, потраченное) стоит дешевле, чем лазерная или плазменная резка? 90 процентов деталей (а то и все 100, если резать лазером) осталось бы просто зачистить. Ну и варить тигом - это тоже порнуха, сколько он его варил? Два дня? Непонятно.
Sure, It would have been easy to get these parts cut, but It's also not hard to just zip disc down a plate and blast out some brackets. I'd rather do it myself than pay someone else to.
As soon as I hear all that trade show background noise, I click off. Why anyone would think that this type of noise is exactly what the viewers want to hear?
I might turn down the volume but I tend to WATCH TH-cam for the videos. Thanks for the time and effort put into your content.
Сколько ушло времени на постройку такого стола?
Awesome build!
Thank you! It was a fun one.
