DIY Welding Fabrication Table

I was planning to build a slotted welding table for my workshop. Since I had no problems with space and I sometimes built large metal structures, I wanted the table to be as large as possible. In the end, I came up with a size of 220x120 cm, which is the size of the largest door I have ever built. There are many cool videos on youtube on this topic, but the problem was that they are all mounting slots by welding. I don’t believe you can weld 19 slots to a 220cm tube without skewing it. It might work for small tables, but not for me. Plus, the metal bars that I was going to use as slots weren't perfect. There were new, but the difference between the edges was up to 0.7 mm. Finally, I came to the idea to mount slots with bolts. This will at least prevent the horizontal tubes from heating in 19 places, and this gives me the ability to change the height of the slots by placing thin fixed plates under them. I this video I am using a jig that is mostly from the woodworking world. It worked, however, got me a lot of headaches with displaced holes. Next time, if I build something similar, I will probably clamp the slots on the horizontal tube and drill them in one pass.
It took me 11 full days altogether and I could probably do it in 2-3 days if I decided to weld the slots, however, the result is a table with 0.4mm precision and I could make it flatter if I wanted to. It is just a matter of time.

Love it, you have given me my inspiration for my school project :)

Glad to hear that. In fact, I am usually skeptical about my crafts. But I like this one.
