03 Nov.,2023

 

About: I enjoy simple DIY projects and enjoy sharing them with others. I'm 33 and I am a sheet metal worker by trade. I really enjoy remodeling and making things. I'm married and have two wonderful children.

***I made a video to go along with this Instructable in case anyone had any questions***

I made this welding table with the intensions of using it for more than just a welding table. It was eventually have a removable solid wood top for woodworking as well. My garage is somewhat small so I needed all the room I could get. And with a big bulky table set in the middle of the floor, this would not be an option.

The table I designed is completely maneuverable being that it's on 4 casters; all 4 swivel and 2 locking. It also is the same height as my table saw and thickness planer so this doubles as an out-feed table as well.

Materials I used were:

  • 1/4" hot rolled steel
  • 16 gauge hot rolled steel
  • 1 1/2" x 3/16" angle
  • 1/2" square stock
  • 2" Schedule 80 Tubing

Tools I used were:

  • Carpenters Square
  • Grinder
  • MIG welder
  • Stick welder
  • Scratch Awl
  • Tri-Square
  • Welding Clamps / Pliers

Consumables I used were:

  • .045 Cutoff Wheels
  • 80 Grit Sander Disc
  • .023 Solid Wire
  • 75/25 Dual Mix
  • 3/32 7018 Electrodes

PPE I used were:

  • Gloves
  • Welding Hood
  • Face Shield
  • Safety Glasses
  • Ear Plugs
  • Sleeves For Your Arms
