RE: Making A Welding Table - EdK - 05-31-2014
I finally got around to finishing the assembly of the HF portable welding table. The top is not flat by any stretch of the imagination so it can't be used as a reference surface for welding. That makes this table less useful than it could be. Oh well, It's still slightly better than a piece of Durarock thrown on top of my unused router table.

That's odd. Mine are as straight as my welds

I'm keeping my FLAT table in storage for awhile. A LONG while!

Just saw this on Craig's List but my bank account is not large enough nor the garage floor strong enough to handle it ... http://minneapolis.craigslist.org/hnp/bfd/4492371433.html.

Ed, my welding table must not be flat either 'cause the odd time my welding comes out straight.
I haven't yet been able to do it intentionally yet.

your floor would handle it, those blocks only weight about 2500 pounds, way bak when I used to work I built a table out of ten of them all bolted together for building oil drilling rig drawworks on.

So you're the one storing yours next to mine. I was wondering whose that was.
