Welding Table Build with Clamps, Fixture and some other Ideas

This table has EVERYTHING that I was looking for because of the limited space in my garage. With this I can save a lot of space. Fantastic job.

[@jonascazares153]

Thats engineering at its finest. Been a welder for over 20 yrs! I didn’t think i could learn so much in a single video. Nice job 👍🏼

Agreed! I was smiling through the entire video.

[@johnc6343]

If uve been welding for 20 years and u didnt know how to do any of this then brother u suck

[@jonascazares153]

@@johnc6343 hahaha! You win the IGNORANT COMMENT of the year! That was a comment intended as a compliment. Just admiring someone’s talent. If you knew anything about the craft of welding and fabrication as a whole, you would realize you never stop learning something new. The fact that you took the time to try and sound witty and arrogant shows you are lacking the skills and knowledge you don’t realize you dont have yet. Some day brother, some day.

[@Ais4Drew]

How this man gets his taps perfect with a drill every time will be a mystery that haunts me well into my old age. Great build! I gotta learn how to weld sometime…

[@davidsoutar8508]

getting the tapped holes perfect is as simple as having both hands on the drill to keep it stable and using a cutting lubricant on the tap. I've been doing that for decades at my job. It just takes practice and repetition my friend. keep at it, you'll get it.

[@Ais4Drew]

@@davidsoutar8508 thanks! I’ll give those a shot. As a hobby machinist you hear stories of people stripping out threads/taps in like thousand-dollar parts they’re working on and sometimes my own threads just seem to get all cattywhompus. But I’ll stick to it! Now where did I put that 3-in-1…

Looks good but I think you may have trouble with weld spatter and small chips constantly getting in your threads on the holes on the top of the table. You may want to keep set screws in them when not in use to protect the threads.

splatter protection spray (or some sort of consistent grease I suppose) could prevent them from sticking too hard
