My Welding Table

[Crusty]

After getting things cut, prepped and jigged this week I got up before daybreak today and welded my welding table together. It's made from 5 sticks of 8" red steel I-beam welded to angle steel support rails. They're spaced apart so that 3/8" stove bolts fit the grooves for clamping things down but I also have plans of milling the sides of some C clamps so that they slide in the slots and quickly hold my work down. I still need to get sanding discs for my angle grinder and finish off the top surface but it's all level and solid and it should be just dandy for making welded things close to the size and shape that I intended.

Hopefully the High Frequency and Foot Pedal kits that I'm putting on my Horror Freight welder will come in today and then I'll be smack in the aluminum Tigging world, and after that I'm adding DC to it so that I can tig steel too.
