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.

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…

Absolutely outstanding!!!!!! The design is brilliant! I particularly like how you've also been able to incorporate a feature to mount a table saw and router into the welding table. I'm working on a redesign for my garage as a personal maker space and was originally considering two separate tables for woodwork and metalwork which causes some space issues. But your design combines both together with minimal fuss in setup. Very inspiring. Love it! (now subscribed).
