DIY Welded Metal Workbench

In this video I captured my new DIY workbench that I welded from 50mm x 50mm square metal tubes, I used for this project x2 square tubes each 7.5M in length. The overall finished table size: W=600mm, L=2000mm and H=870mm. For the top of the table I used sheets of 18mm MDF and a metal plate. An alternative for welding can be by using nut and bolts to secure all of the workbench parts.

If you don't trust your own welding (like myself, also an amateur welder), then a tip: After checking square, tack weld each corner before going in and fully welding them. This way, you can mitigate the risk of overheating and bending things out of square while fully welding the corners.

You should fully tack the entire table in this instance, checking squareness in each stage. After it’s all tacked then fully weld it. Helps prevent distortion etc.

Nicely done.

How thick is the metal plate and is that thickness working out for you or would you change it next time?

Always remember, as AvE says: "A grinder and paint make you the welder you ain't!"

[@danjaluvka8007]

whats the thickness of that metal plate, when beaing supported by a mdf board? just curious, if it could be as little as like 1,5 - 2 mm and still being quite stiff

If you are stick welding than you don’t need to clean the metal up first only with mig welding
