Your comments on table height are spot on. I made my table 4 inches too high and then mounted a big vise on top. Just not comfortable to use. "Think of swinging a hammer" as another poster commented. My next Saturday project will be to shorten the table legs or remount the vice at a lower height.

Love the video brother! I believe your welding with dual shield flux core..(for the bushings)FCAW for short… and if you have lots of buck shots I know a mix of 75/25 (75argon/25co2) gas can help with that.

Nice table, great build and a respectable shop. Thank you for sharing with the youniverse. I hope other viewers learn the beauty of dual shield processes. Is the plate A.R. ? it has that red look to it and it does not bend as easy as a benefit. A.R. for those who may not know " Abrasive Resistant ".
