[@tdg911]

That is one of the best, if not the best welding carts I think I've ever seen. job well done

[@beefycheesecake]

im a welder myself and i have to say thats a very tidy well made table, thats one to be proud off.

[@RoddyDa]

By far the best welding table build I've seen yet

[@JayBates]

This table is a BEAST!!

[@jonnymiskatonic]

Ha! Look at who's digging around more on the welding side of things. KNOW YOUR ROLE! You're a woodworker and woodworker only, that's all you're supposed to do or else.

[@jimbelkin7301]

+Jay Bates It is a beast. How much does it weigh? I would also need to factor in the weight of my everlast welder and water cooler. Is the table fairly easy to push around?

[@Abom79]

Good looking table and well thought out design. Nice job!

[@RockyCreekRanchTX]

Abom79 Thanks Adam, and I have to say I am a big fan of your channel. Thanks for stopping by.

[@DannebergAcres]

Almost 33K views - reflects the quality of the subject matter - thanks for posting your awesome build!

[@sandrusco71]

Absolutely love it! Just entering the welding world, looking forward to more videos with that awesome table. Thanks for sharing.

[@ExploreWithDon]

This has got to be the best built, most functional welding/work table I've ever seen. FAR above 'my' skill level :). Totally fantastic and well thought out!

[@JAYCFX]

That has to be one of the most awesome welding tables I have ever laid eyes on.

[@TheChefChuck]

Beautiful build. It is obvious the detail and craftsmanship you put into it.

[@doulikezcars]

Just got my first welder and all I can say is wow. Someone told me imitation is the best form of flattery, so I'm letting you know I'm about to use some of your ideas here. Great job

[@WiredSole]

One of the best tables I have seen so far, so well thought out!

[@rickymccafferty7840]

Great job on the build. I’m gathering as many ideas as I can for my table build this winter. Your build has a lot of elements I believe I will incorporate into my work station.

[@ericcommarato7727]

Love the welding table. Very well planned and very nicely built. Bravo!

[@idriwzrd]

I wish I had as much thought into my work as you do into your work table. Awesome!

[@sailerblue]

excellent job, well done, a lot of great ideals in this table, certainly gets the juices flowing, thanks very much

[@GAFire166]

Outstanding job! Great design and solid build. It's so nice to see this kind of professional pride and well-thought-out ingenuity in craftsmanship. It just might have a "Blue" twin, in the near future. Thank you for sharing this

[@michaelranger2477]

Now this is one of the best work table's I've ever seen, would make for a clean and tidy work area. Don't have to run back and forth digging around for tools all the time.

[@RockyCreekRanchTX]

Thanks Tom. There are some great table designs out there and they inspired me. I tried to take all of the features I thought would have been helpful to have in past projects I built and tried to incorporate them into the design.

[@GMCShazamataz]

Way cool welding table man. You did a great job with all aspects of this.

[@JuanGomez-cx1hi]

This welding table is badass!! The best I've seen so far...

[@akairmen82]

Best diy build I’ve seen. I plan to replicate since it has all the features I want and need.

[@TomFitzpatrick]

This was a fantastic design. You clearly took a lot of time, and gave this project a ton of thought. It definitely has inspired me. Thank you for showing us the end result of all your talent and efforts. Awesome.

[@OldManGarage]

This is the literally the nicest table ive seen, I will build one like this one day! Good job!!:)

[@reyna683]

Wow! Very beautiful work there sir! Honestly the best cart I've seen seen here on KZbin bar none!!! Thanks for sharing 👍

[@ih1206]

that is one badass welding table. definitely a lot of time and thought went in to this beast and it shows big time. I wish I had one like this in my shop.

[@RickRabjohn]

What an awesome build - I especially like the dual quad outlets you have - great idea.

[@ajdemeo1]

its only missing a barbecue grill and a 50" TV! LOL nice work!

[@skylerbrycesmith]

Wow, I was looking for smaller simple table ideas but now I know what I'll be making. Excellent job!

[@scoutsniper95]

There's some seriously good engineering in that table.. awesome work ..

[@oby-1607]

Well built, well thought out design. Mobile is the way to go. You have given me some ideas for my own build. Painting it really finished the job. Hope to see more from you.

[@oldskoolfunk71]

WOW!!! That table is built for WAR! wake up asking for more! Very creative and smart all you need now is a kitchen sink on it lol. Great Work.

[@emoneyblue]

Man, I must say this is by far the BADDEST welding table I have ever seen. You can tell that a lot of thought went into the beast!. Well done I would buy this table in a heart beat! Well done 5 stars for sure

[@2000WhiteRado]

Excellent design and build of the table, the extra details like added storage are a great addition. Also very much like the fact that you took the time to paint everything and make it look good, as well as be functional. Could pass for commercially made, thumbs up man.

[@thebeardedcraftsman4849]

That's a great looking welding table. I like the design choices. Recessing the storage is a great idea.

[@MarkThomas123]

Awesome job... That one will be with you for a lifetime... A huge value to your projects.. It was well worth the time building it. I stopped building things quickly to fill a need.. They always stay around the shop, and don't really reflect the craftsmanship of the builder.. Something like this sure does, though... Very nice..

[@YYCRCFabricationz]

Best design I've seen yet, absolutely incredible build!!

[@mikew8486]

That does it, I'm thinking of junking my two work benches and building something like this gem! Awesome job!

[@ronsnow8342]

This is the best welding table I've ever seen. Thanks for sharing.

[@golferchin76]

Definitely one good workbench I am going to refer to when I upgrade mine. What a good work.

[@johngordon201]

Awesome design......I like how you compensated for all the movement, differences in the tubing as well : )

[@nealfrazer3567]

Awesome welding bench....neat and tidy and everything in its place!

[@shelbyglazer3948]

absolutely the coolest welding table ive ever seen!!!

[@devodar2579]

This thing kicks ass!! Nice build, gave me lots of ideas. Great show and thank you.

[@mrandmrsstallings4471]

That is something else, you really thought through your workflow and brought some form to your function. And its so purdy with the red paint job :)

[@Robocoppat]

From one Welder/Fabricator to another, Awesome job. Just keep those bearings clean and lubricated and that monster will keep gliding along. 👍👍 .

[@RegioProtectoresRP]

Hermosa tu mesa de trabajo, eres un genio. Me encanta la idea y el orden de las cosas. Te felicito.

[@bartman59laj55]

Wow! Thanks for all the great ideas, about to build my own table, and there is a lot to like with your design...

[@intjonmiller]

Gorgeous design and very well executed! The shop where I'm working now has a stationary welder and a mobile unit on a crappy little cart with casters that don't track properly, the welder and air tank aren't mounted, and there is no handle or anything with which to steer. I dread moving it around. I've wanted to build something better but I was just thinking about a cart. I hadn't thought about a mobile welding station. This changes a lot for me. Thank you!

[@intjonmiller]

There are several elements I don't need and wouldn't do for my own cart, but the one thing I would probably do differently is mount the vise 90° counter-clockwise so it blocks less of the depth of the table. Otherwise I can't even think of anything I would change. By the way, is it paint or powder coat? Gorgeous finish either way. Thanks for sharing!

[@SCHNEIDER2862]

I don't know if "WOW" covers it but that's all I can come up with as I look at what you have done. WOW!

[@TeeGiang]

love it! everything uniformed and spaced out! the red and that saw contrast nicely too! i want to build a green festool version hehe

[@gohuskies583]

Very well thought out and constructed. You must be pleased with it! Like to see some of your layout and welding skills in action on a future video. Thanks for posting.

[@chriscosby1060]

Nice table,I like how you have plumbed the air and wired the electrical outlets -- I am converting an existing heavy duty work table to a welding table.

[@stevenarango2929]

the best looking table I've seen well done. love it

[@RockyCreekRanchTX]

Good point, thanks for the comment. I usually have the Hypertherm cover on plasma cutter when not in use but took it off for the video.

[@DieselDork11]

awesome build man!!! Seriously a little longer for my needs and I'm set. Thanks for posting this video. Ideas are only as good as real builds!

[@jackturner3005]

Darn, now you got me thinking of spending more money on my shop!! Beautiful table!

[@FluidMotionEnergy]

dude, awesome. im just starting mine, using 4 heavy duty scaffold jacks w casters as the 4 corners so its also adjustable height... but man u really gave me sum other good ideas... thanks.

[@jpp052589]

I must first say have never commented on anything of you t You're the man! Excellent job...

[@2limbo]

A fantastic tabel. Gives my some idea's for the one I am going to build.

[@hardcooling]

now that is a badass peace of work

[@salmonslayer49]

Wow, I don't know how I missed this on GJ but awesome job and you have given me some ideas for my own welding table. I also have a big old honking Rock Island vise just begging for a table like this. I just subscribed.

[@buynsell365]

I love it !!!! This is my dream welding table for my small shop.

[@gordowg1wg145]

Very, very nice setup. If you weld a tab to the top of the end of the inner slider, you can significantly reduce the play in the tubing and, if you really want to get down to it, building up the bottom of the outer tube at the exit can allow you to have runners that track straight the whole length. Sort of like a "N", works best if you have some low friction stuff, especially with a bit of weight on them. I don't know if you get them over there, but we have outlets available for outdoor(?) use that have a flap that protects the outlet from rain, etc. I'm a bit paranoid about metal dust building up in outlets and use them to keep the sockets dust free. You don't mention them, but I would DEFINITELY have a built in RCD for each bank of outlets just in case I knicked a cable exposing a live wire, or had an equipment fault.

[@highsocietyoffroad6579]

This is the SICKEST WELDING BENCH EVER!!!

[@akquicksilver]

Sweet little table. I need to build one just about that size. I think I will add a slide out or flip up cutting grid for Victor wrench work.

[@neroh1978]

Fantastic table bro. I will use some of these ideas for when it comes time to build my own.

[@OG96932]

absolutely excellent, one of the best tables ive seen

[@clshew]

Sweet Beautiful Table going to start mine next week picked up a 5/8" thick 48" X 66"... Love the saw mount and extension definitely swiping that idea, probably do just shelves on the ends as I don't have the tool boxes to use although I have a 4.5 foot machine drawer 6" deep I may try to incorporate. anyway Great Table Good Job!!

[@GotItMade]

That's a badass work station. Thanks for sharing!

[@RockyCreekRanchTX]

I think slots and holes like a StrongHand table would be a great addition. In my case a solid surface works better as I use it as a multi purpose assembly bench for wood working etc. If I need additional clamping I use Super Strut channel that I can position and clamp anywhere on the table and I have modified some clamps to work in the channel. So far it has worked great on the projects I have built so far.

[@pherdantler707]

Very impressive. Well thought out and executed. Thanks for sharing!

[@TailEndCustoms]

Man that is bad ass! Awesome craftsmanship.

[@garycox2253]

That is one well thought out welding table you built.

[@illyaoshea5316]

Mate top job, one of the neatest tables i have seen.

[@claudrios59]

It´s a really nice and practical welding cart. You thought in every detail. Felicitaciones.

[@GRT1005]

That is one bad ass welding table. Awesome job.

[@Signavy]

Great video and love the concept of your table.

[@Billys68SS]

Thats the baddest welding table I have ever seen.

[@Retroweld]

Love the table. Sort of reminds me of mine. Great job.

[@fk6823]

That's a fantastic workstation! Great job!!!

[@kentrichardson9070]

Nicest table I’ve seen yet. Love the vice.

[@RockyCreekRanchTX]

Thank you! I will be having some other videos of other projects coming to the channel soon.

[@RockyCreekRanchTX]

Thank you. It has been one of those projects were I have used it so much that I am kicking myself for not building it much much sooner! :)

[@bertvanspieker]

Fantastisch heel praktisch een plezier om mee te werken.

[@rustycrustymakesstuff6528]

That's slick! I'm jealous!that would be perfect for my small garage. With my limited space I could pull it outside.

[@JayHutchG]

Great project & very well thought out. Very effective use of space, Bonus is how great the table looks! Maybe consider mounting an inexpensive Harbor Freight ATV winch or some pull arrangement in the garage to assist you getting that beast in and out of the garage. The side table for your saw is perfect. I think I'll do a modular one that will hold my Evolution saw and my Porta Band table. I was fortunate to find a 48" x 48" fixture table on Craigs list for $400. It's a Weld Tables Fab Block. Really great table. Guy was leaving town and I was lucky. You know what this table cost new BEFORE you put them together. I only mention because I didnt realize how wonderful the 16mm/5/8" fixture holes would be for set up and keeping stuff straight and square. You could buy an inexpensive Mag Drill and do some 16mm holes yourself. You wouldn't have to do the entire table. Time consuming laying out the holes, but they must be perfect. Well done on this project budroe!

[@RockyCreekRanchTX]

Thanks for the comments. I actually did drill holes in the top and made some other small changes. I am getting ready to do some new videos now that I have retired early and built a new metal shop as well as a woodworking shop. I will be highlighting other builds I have done as well as the updates I did to the table in a new video.

[@madskills2013]

that is true craftsmanship, really impressive

[@fvsfn]

Thank you for posting this amazing and very inspiring work.

[@hrdtofnd]

Great table - nice layout. Thanks for the ideas!

[@FirstFiveFrets]

Fantastic! Thanks for sharing your ideas on that very nice build.

[@somethingwittyhere]

Holy mother love of God!!! This is a work of art! A true national tresure! Marvel of mystery! Beautiful

[@Retroweld]

Forgot to say, great job and it looks very well built.

[@mrmarksaunders]

Incredible table. Nice work!

[@vinayshadaksharappa1445]

One of best build I have seen....professional .....great .

[@RockyCreekRanchTX]

Thanks. I appreciate you checking out the video.

[@all6t7]

Very nice, well thought out and planned.

[@MarshWildman]

I like that chop saw mount! Definitely adding that to mine!

[@mikefinley4367]

Sweet setup, much thought went into it , very nice indeed.

[@FrustratedBaboon]

Wow the concrete is cracking at 0:05. Awesome table !!!!!!!!

[@RaysGarage]

Very nice welding table, well thought out!

[@joerivelin7837]

Excellent job! Would be a huge amount of money to buy one that good!
