    New Welding Cart

    I had been throwing the idea around about buying a combo cart to hold my mig welder and my plasma cutter, so I could eliminate a cart. I went over to a buddies garage a couple weeks ago and he just retired and is revamping his garage and he just got a Eastwood plasma and mig combo. So his...

    Welding Table build--go with Certiflat or custom?

    Good luck with your build. I built something similar to Dukers but to fit my needs. Check out my build thread.

    Welding Table

    I set my overhang at 3" and I think that is just right. So far I have not needed any more than that. 3'x5' with 1/2" top, 2"x2"x3/16" framing

    Welding table pics ?

    I'm using the table now as a support on my Camaro that I am replacing the frame rails on. Although the entire weight of the car is not on it, I know that it would hold it if I wanted it too! Not a great pic, but it's doing it's job, plus it gives me a portable work bench while doing my work.

    Welding table pics ?

    Here is mine that I built after looking at this site a couple of years ago and saw one and I said " I gotta have one of those". So after looking on CL for one with no luck, I checked my local metal supplier and the 1/2" plate that I wanted was too high. I finally bit the bullet and was going...

    Mark everything is looking good and I don't see how you are doing all the work at the new shop and still have time to work on cars. Hopefully we are planning on leaving for Florida tomorrow and will be there until next weekend. I will give you a call after the first of next week and see what...

    I agree that the black pipe is the best way to go. I have PVC in mine and I know it's not safe and I don't like the way it looks. I also found this site that has a good read on using black pipe. https://www.tptools.com/tech-metal-piping.dlp I will be in Bradenton in April visiting my parents...

    Welding Table for Life

    Well here are some more pics of my welding table. I am almost finished, just need to do a little grinding around the edge of the table where I cut with the plasma and then paint the legs. Although I am no welder, I thought it turned out pretty good and will serve me well for years.

    Welding Table for Life

    Well I have been an avid reader here on GJ but haven't really posted alot. In looking on here and the internet, I got the notion that I needed a welding table in my shop. I am currently working on a '71 Camaro and what ever else that comes down the line my way. So I have a very sturdy roll...

    Mark, I've gotta say ditto to the words of Bpettet. Your shop that you have created and the work that you are putting out of it is just "awsome"!! I joined GJ a while ago just looking around and I remember looking at your thread when you was building your shop. I looked the other night and...

    Shop Build,....my retirement gift to myself.

    Looking good. I went through the same things with the county and property set backs. I considered applying for a variance so I could face my garage on flat land instead of a drop off, but when the ***** that joins my 3.6 acres said "he would have to look at it to see if it would be ok", even...

    Hello from VA.

    I just found this site from another forum site I visit for Camaros. I am interested in seeing the ideas people have to personalize there man cave. I will post some pics in the next couple of days if I don't feel too embarrassed by what I might see in here.
