Nice work. Finally a video showing someone using a cold saw to fab one of these. Drives me crazy watching all these “fabricators” using only an angle grinder and hack saws to cut metal. You can’t beat the Evolution saw! I made my table a bit differently though. I used 6 pcs of 1/2 X 6 X 36 plates. Also 4 pieces 1/2 X 1 X 36 to go in between the 6 in plates. They are removable and this will allow for easy clamp access. This way I didn’t need to drill a bunch of .625 dia. holes for clamps. Amazon has some very nice adjustable clamps at a great price that are perfect for this! The plates are all height adjustable via 4 3/8 flat head bolts screwed in at each corner from the top. The holes are countersunk and taped. An adjusting nut and washer goes under the plate. The frame has clearance holes. When adjusted simply lock in place. Easier to fab and you can also replace sections if needed. I also fabricated the top frame without miters as I wanted the ends open to slide in a smaller tube. They become table extensions if needed. I enjoyed your video and nice work, good welds too. And I especially love the hot rod and motorcycle! No hot rod in my shop. Just 4 custom motorcycles 😂
You have some great ideas for a pretty versatile table, especially the sectioned top plates. My table is dead simple and built around commonly available parts. It's designed specifically for building motorcycle frames, chassis and suspension parts but f I had to build another table, I'd probably incorporate some of your ideas. Cheers!
Nice and simple table build. Great demonstration on how you work also.
Thank you, appreciate the kind words!
Incredible amount of detail here... I've been looking at various DIY plans for something like this as I really want to build something for my home shop, and I'll 100% be using this video as my guide. Thank you so much!
Thank you and good luck with your project!
I won't say it's easy, I think you make it look easy but "easy" is relative. Great tutorial!
Professionalism.....even for someone who is not a welder can easily learn how to weld just from this video
Appreciate the kind words.
Smart. Simple is always better.
Great video, editing, music, thank you for making this. Inspiring me as I start my welding hobby.
Thank you for providing all the info so that other people can also build one..your amazing. Thank you very much..
Thanks mate, I got one fabricated exactly the same after watching this. nice job!
Awesome, glad to hear!!!
This is an ideal workbench. Great job!!
Thanks this gives me a great how-to! Thanks for taking the time!
Beautiful and simple awesomeness, thanks!
Glad you like it!
Nice Job. Ill be definitely building one myself for my workshop
Awesome ! Clean !
Goin to make one for my shop!
Now all you need is a bunch of holes drilled in it. Great design and excellent video..
Great idea
Nice job this world would be a better place without so many haters.
very nice work I'm thinking of making one myself thanks again.
Go for it!
Love it! Exactly what I'm looking for. Thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
Awesome build, thanks!
Nice work! For your safety i suggest using gloves and safety goggles when grinding 👍
Good call!
Thanks for sharing. I love it😊😊😊
I loved your work. I have seen several work table videos and I just liked very much your proyect. Thanks for sharing enopto :)
Thank you very much!
Nice build. Table is of good size for most DIY projects around the house.
Thanks! it's been of great use in the garage.

Nice job!!👍👍
Thank you!
great video mate....thanks for sharing....cheers from Australia
Cheers!
Thanks
That turned out nice man!
Thanks 👍
Awsome Dude.
Wish I had all the tools to make this looks easy and fun
Start collecting tools one at a time. Used tools are great, half of mine were bought second hand for a greatly reduced price.
Brilliant video , food for thought, but probably half the size due to small workshop. I like the idea of putting the casters on.
Thanks Baggyarse! It's always a great idea to scale the table to your needs. For me, I needed a longer table to work on larger car/truck parts such as axles, trailing arms, motorcycle frames, etc. For a lot of people, the deciding factor for table size could simply be determined by the size table top available. For a modular shop, casters are a game changer. Cheers!
Nice work!
Thanks!
Great video thanks 😊
You’re welcome 😊
Sweet I like that, but I will put casters on mine so I can move it around in my 40X60 shop. I’m having holes cut in one plate to be able to utilize clamps and I’m thinking on center brace weld another 11/2” or 2” tube to be able to mount a removable vice flush with table top! Thx for sharing
That's a great idea!
Nice work 👍
Thank you! Cheers!
WELL DONE...
Thanks!
Nice work mate
Thanks 👍
Nice
Very nice
Thanks
I need to make a welding table this week and it's a BIG one, so just looking to get some structural ideas
Good luck!
@@enopto Thanks, I'm basically done, took some of your ideas, came out really nice, just need to get the table itself on but it's VERY heavy😅ganna need like 4 or 5 people
@@sovietred7371 Wow, that was a quick turnaround! Hope the table provides years of service.
Nice work
Thank you! Cheers!
Nice table! I ended up with a 3/4” plate, so I didn’t need the frame underneath. Just had to weld on the legs. Otherwise very similar.
Right on
Guaranteed your table will sag without any support underneath the top, no matter how thick the top is.
Is that a Moto Guzzi in background? Niiiice.
Sure is, good eye! Very custom big block SP 1000 converted to a spine frame.
Thanks for sharing and give out the excat the specifications. you are very good man!
Glad to help!
Fantastic video. I will make this table and I really appreciate the detailed instructions and materials list! For a new welder using shielded arc stick welding would you recommend any specific rod size or types? Don’t have a mig welder yet.
Thank you, I appreciate the kind words. Unfortunately, I don't have enough experience with stick welders to be of much help with selecting the appropriate rod size/type. good luck with your project!
go to the welding supply store or call them. theyll set you straight
👍👍👍👍👍
in the material list, you show 2 x 20", but it should be 3 x 20".
this is a great video and very helpful. I was thinking of a 36" x 72", but it looks like 24" is a good size. Do you wish that you went 36" deep or some other size?
You're absolutely correct, good catch. I'll change the material list ASAP. 24" is a good size for my space and a heck of a lot cheaper to build. If this table were to be made 36" wide, it would require thicker base material and additional structural support to accommodate the increased weight. Thanks for the feedback!
Use a silver sharpie. It shows up much better.
Yes they do, along with gold. Sadly, all mine are dried out so I steal my wife's Sharpies.
Nice tip, no pun intended 🤣🤣🤣
QUESTION - has anyone treated their steel plate to protect it from rust? What products can we use.
what blade you're using for cutting metal? It has less sparks
The Evolution carbide blade for steel/ferrous metals
Thanks for the idea. If you don't mind, how much did it cost for just the metal?
About $280 with today's metal prices.
@@enopto dang, i tried getting a quote from couple different places and it comes to $1k.
I didn't get the leg part how did you install that place the ones on Amazon doesn't have the place you welded on the bottom of the legs
What gauge is the top?
Great table and work sir, just copied the material list thx.
Awesome, thank you!
Where did you buy your materials to build the table?
I have links to the casters and some tools in the description. The metal was purchased from a local metal supply warehouse here in Denver.
What model of welder are you using?
Lincoln Weld-pak 3200HD
How much would that cost to build
Depending where you source metal, about $175ish
Soundtrack title?
All licensed stock music from MotionArray.com. Not sure of the titles
@@enopto thank you
What is the metal called?
Mild steel
Thanks!!
If you'd bought a table you would not have needed to work on the floor.
Buy a man eat fish, he day, teach fish man, to a lifetime
I love the smell of zinc poisoning in the morning. It smells like...... Stupidity
Good thing I'm welding galvanized steel, am not in a positive pressurized environment, or don't have natural air ventilation per OSHA guidelines. SaRcAStiFont activated
1930 Model A Roadster? Nice.
Indeed, you’re correct!
That's a weird way to make table base
Works a treat!
What drill bit were you useing when you started drilling the wholes before you switched to the 1/2 inch
60° center drill bit. It creates a starter hole that keeps the larger drill bit centered.
