Aluminum sq slotted tubing can be bought at 80/20 Inc. Other places also.

Dayum! That's about all I can come up with so far. Subbed for the build.

the whole thread is Not about the table just a little part post up your fabricated tools.

E.rodz, I love the secure tool storage in the background of the last two photos!
thanks there is a lot more to it than that check out my garage build thread for more.
That is a big project, but it sure will be nice when done. Where did you source the slotted square tubing?

8020 is the name of the company and they make awesome stuff they also still have a ebay store too.

I am in on the back wall question!
Can you share without giving away too much?

check out my garage build for more on that.

i made a car rotisserie couple year ago. I been thinking about how to get it to sit on its end with a car on it, you know vertical but still be able to spin it

plase post up some picts. of that would love to see it happen!

Hey guys! I have a Stronghand Tools 'Nomad' table------is this the place to post it???

All kidding about the Stronghand Tools table aside (in previous post), here is a table-mounted bike work stand I designed and built from bed frames and some garbage-picked scrap metal. All it does is grip the seatpost------no spinning, height adjustment, etc., but it is rock-solid! The rear support is through-bolted in the table top. (Shown here only holding the seatpost for clarity.)

Heater/radiator hose clamps



I had another one but I guess I don't have the picture uploaded to PB.

E.rodz what are those on the tip of the vise grips to bend the brake line?

Probably.

 

[Wayfastwhitie440]

I understand there purpose what I am asking is WHAT is welded on the tips. Did he make them or buy them and cut a disc in half what did he use?

They look like inner races for caged ball bearings to me. Remove the outer cage, the ball bearings fall out, and you're left with the inner race to cut in half.

the disks that are on the end are just pieces i spun on the lathe one with a 3/16 diam. the other was 1/4 then i just cut them in half one the band saw

A washer welded on to a single ended center drill for countersinking, the washer acts as a depth stop.
