Do NOT Build a Homemade Welding Table Like This!

  • I had some scrap 1/2" plate in a pile so I thought I would make something cool. I needed a welding table to make all the metalworking projects to share with you so that is what this video is about. This table took about 2 months to build and a month to edit video. This table will be the center piece of my workshop.
    Now I need to build attachments to make the table even more useful. Subscribe to watch future videos of me making those attachments.
    Final Table Weight = 195 KG or about 430 Pounds!
    Can You Build a Welding Table From 3 Pieces of Scrap Metal?

    Before you welded your frame on it when you first found out it was warped you could have wrapped a chain around it and used a hydraulic jack and gotten it back perfectly flat. Using a straight edge and taking your time you could have gotten it. Done it before, kinda aggravating but doable. Still you have a nice table.

    • @mooseworks
      @mooseworks  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      That is a brilliant idea! Do you just wrap the chain directly around the plate and insert the jack between the plate and the chain? I wish I would have thought of that. I will keep that trick in my back pocket for next time, thanks!

  • @LtDan-ni5rw
    @LtDan-ni5rw 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Very cool. I had just one thought though. If you used some threaded rod through each leg post, from top to bottom you could adjust the height of the leveling bolts from the top plate. It would have to penetrate the top plate on each corner, but may be worth it to make adjustments easier.

    • @mooseworks
      @mooseworks  2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      That is a great idea! I didn’t think to do that and it would make setting the table a lot easier!

    I kept thinking "Gee, I hope that round tubing was FREE, because square tubing would have been half the work and a better functional result for mounting things and shelves etc"
    Where do you live that steel gets so rusty? I'm in QLD Australia where it is hot and high humidity, and all my steel stocks rust like that too. 😐

    • @mooseworks
      @mooseworks  9 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I didn’t spend a dime on any of the metal. It was all available to me. If I did buy, square tube would have been what I did. I am in Texas and it can definitely get quite humid! I have been to NSW a couple of times and it was pretty humid every time I went so I bet it is hard to keep steel clean!

      I was having trouble with porosity on my stringers - so a good portion of it was tack welded. Which seemed to work well. It just took a very long time.
