welding table from scrap table

[Frank S]

Paul I had dug that table out about a month ago while loading some of my other stuff I thought then that it would make a nice small welding table, but I already a couple of good small and 1 large welding table so my thoughts were why bother. I really don't need it and after all I have already moved 8 semi trailer loads of stuff.and still have 6 more packed up waiting to be moved. The clincher was a new customer from out of town called me up and asked if I could repair an axle and housing for his skid steer. I rold him that I was getting ready to move my Machine shop van that day and if he could wait 2 days he could drop it off at my new place then I would be happy to repair it since where I am moving is actually closer to where he lives anyway. H said that he was already in town and really needed it So I told him to drop it off and I would see what I could do.
So instad of moving the shop van I told my bud that he might as well try and find a paying load to haul for a couple of days. After all money is money and the only way we have been able to afford this move is to let him haul as much as he can and move my trailers in his slack time.
Now I could have simply dropped the tailgate on my pickup and welded the housing and axle on the back of that but it was too windy to use my mig welder besides it was already loaded in the machine van but still access able for use there just wasn't any table that I could uncover to use as a place to weld on and my welding fixture for rotating things while welding had already been hauled out west. Hence the reason for spending an hour making a lazy Susan and the welding table
A lot of things I make are done for the purpose of saving time and to make a job a little simpler to save a customer some money
This little welding table with the lazy Susan tack welded on it will most likely become a permanent fixture in the machine shop van since it doesn't take up much space and is easy to move around
