Welding table - cheap and portable fixture table build

Built a portable welding table that I can move around the garage or outside to weld and fabricate.

Nice work, and very nice camera work, I know it slows the project progress alot to film well. Thanks for the effort and sharing

[@ShinyInsanity]

Thank you and thanks for watching! Editing is the real time consuming part.

Kool table! Just need to add adjustable feet on each leg! Be a perfect table! I have that same saw...it’s amazing! I don’t know how I have lived without it! Picked mine up at menards for $189.00 that’s a steal for the time and effort it saves! Thx for sharing!!

[@ShinyInsanity]

Thanks for the comments. I love the saw as well. It's made projects so much easier with it. One of the best tool purchases I've made.

[@az_tinkerer_gamer]

Evolution makes a great chop saw. Picked one up myself.

[@ShinyInsanity]

Yup agree, one of the best purchases I've made to help me with metal working.

[@btolley100]

That saw is amazing!

[@ShinyInsanity]

It is well worth the money for a hobbyist shop.

[@dddddmorgan]

I like it! I'm inspired, going to make one that will roll out the door for outside work. Well done!

[@ShinyInsanity]

Thank you. It comes in handy for a lot of smaller projects. Good luck on your build.

Cool project, thanks for sharing

[@ShinyInsanity]

Thank you for watching.

Nice job man, I like it being able to be leveled off. I will use the idea just a little larger, 3ft by 6ft. I think a slide-out tray for debris, dross-slag, and the welders underneath would be a good addition. The fridge is cool, but that is going to get nasty and you will be cleaning the fridge a lot. I have the Evo saw in a compound miter version, that blade will last quite a long time.

[@ShinyInsanity]

Thanks for the comments. Hope your build goes well, those are some good enhancements. I move it out when using it and only place it back over the fridge when not in use so it doesn't get dirty....well not too dirty.

[@bergeracvandamme]

Cool design. I need one like this.

[@ShinyInsanity]

Thank you. Fun to build if you have the time.

[@alardon1126]

Man, that thing really cuts!

[@ShinyInsanity]

It is undoubtedly one of the best things I have bought for diy metal working. Not perfect at all, but it saves so much time.

[@user-gr4sk4jw5q]

You need to invest in a better camera... the content itself is great!

[@ShinyInsanity]

Thanks. Not sure what camera I was using for this video. Gopro or phone.

This type size is drivable good protoblity it size is drivable for my work Shop projects Diy projects craftsman style projects

[@ieronmandan5]

Wow what cinde of saw blade is that?

[@ShinyInsanity]

It's a carbide blade made for cutting through steel. Works well :)

[@michaelking7495]

Hey mate, do you find your Evolution saw cuts slightly out of square?

[@ShinyInsanity]

It takes some adjustments to get it to cut straight. Also I find it happens more if you push the cut versus letting the saw cut naturally.

[@jwiereng]

so you wish you used UNF bolts?

[@ShinyInsanity]

Not really. I usually am not doing work that requires that level of extra precision but I can see how it would be useful. If it's ever needed I can always cut, grind and then re-weld new bolts 😁

[@jwiereng]

@@ShinyInsanity I like your line of thinking. I am inspired by fireball tool, and like his method of using a tapped and threaded rod. Similar to yours but without the need to weld to the plates. I think I may need to borrow some time on a lathe to drill and tap the centre of many thick bolts.

[@jwiereng]

No sag in middle?

[@ShinyInsanity]

Nope. Steel is pretty thick.

[@m.weston7114]

Rubber casters to collect and melt from hot metal, shavings and sparks. 4" higher than a counter top, that's high. No bottom shelf for tools. What an odd designed table.

[@ShinyInsanity]

Polyurethene casters - no issues so far. 4 inches higher is perfect for me (if you are short you can get a stool to stand on). No bottom shelf since it was made to fit over a mini fridge. What odd comments :)

[@jonathanhudson9189]

Flat bar is not called plate and the one inch tube is not called bar stock please learn the names of metal if not you will never be able to order metal and get what you want

[@ShinyInsanity]

I'm lucky that we have the Internet with pictures and dimensions listed to help the ordering process.

[@jonathanhudson9189]

@@ShinyInsanity you may need to study it some before making video of not knowing what you are talking about

It wouldn't hurt to have a forgiving and understanding approach . You probably didn't mean it but your initial comment set the tone for the rest of the conversation . If you simply substituted "this is not called that" to "this is actually called that" and added bud or pal to your comment it would help the medicine go down. I'm Quoting Mary Poppins but its true. A spoon full of sugar does help the medicine go down. I have nothing but love and respect for both of you and all humanity and love to see people getting along . Peace .
