(Ted) Edwards Pictures: WELDTBL1.JPG overview WELDTBL2.JPG foot WELDTBL3.JPG rails and tong rack WELDTBL4.JPG tray support and ground clamp WELDTBL5.JPG tool tray WELDTBL6.JPG vise Some 25+ years ago, I made a welding/cutting table from some bed frame, four pieces of scrap pipe and some miscellaneous scrap. The various accessories were added as need arose. It was built when all my welding and cutting was Oxyacetylene. To this has now been added TIG and a plasma cutter. The table has served me well and continues to do so. The rectangular frame and the rails are bed frame (1 1/2 x 1 1/2 x 1/8" angle) picked up as free scrap. The legs are 1" (nominal) pipe with 2" square pieces of 1/4" plate on the tops to reinforce the attachment to the bed frame. The top is 2' x 4' and is 36 1/4" from the floor. (The extra 1/4" came from the after thought rubber pads on the feet.) The feet are 4" squares of 1/4" plate with some 1/4" thick rubber contact cemented to the bottom. The gravel filled tray is left over sheet metal from heating ducts. I actually bought the gravel from a gravel pit. This tray with its 1" of gravel keeps hot bits from landing on my feet. The rails are held to the frame with 1/2" long 1/4-20 bolts and nuts. This makes for very easy re-arrangement and/or removal. The tong rack and tool tray are simply hung on the frame and can be removed in seconds at need. The vice is held by two 1/2" bolts and some bits of angle and is quickly removed when in the way. The ground clamp clipped to the bit of copper pipe at the end of the table serves for the vast majority of my welding and cutting.
