The table top is 1/2" thick and it was all laser cut, including the slots in the table top. The table is very stable as it sits right now. Once I have the lower shelf in place it will hold the bench vice and bench grinder when they are not in use, adding a little more weight down low. That said...

Hey ther guys! I just wanted to share the welding table that I've put together. Here are the photos: Enjoy! Mike

Thanks for the kind words and the reminder about clothing near the lathe. We had a pretty good talk about the safety aspects of running the lathe before letting him get near it and the serious results that could come from even the smallest accidents. I'd rather be reminded about safe lathe...

Well before Christmas my younger son expressed that he wanted to build a trailer to hook to his BMX bike so that he can take the garbage to the dumpster. So like any good father I figured I'd help him out and bought a couple tire/wheel assemblies for him as one of his Christmas gifts. With that...

I forgot to add a couple more pictures when I posted my update. In addition to the firewood lean-to shown in the previous post I've also added one to the south facing exterior wall. This lean-to is roughly 4' wide and 6' deep. It was meant to house my lawnmower and garden tools but for now...

Well guys it's time for an update that's been long over due. I've been working on another project this past year but will hold off on posting about that untill I get it a little closer to completion. In the mean time I haven't been ignoring the 12' x 16' shed either. As they say in the...

These aren't flatbeds but they are trailers that I have built either for myself or for others. Mike

Any updates? Mike

Thanks for the kind words guys. I just realized tonight that it's been a little while since I've updated this thread so here are some pictures and comments to show what I've been up to. I needed some more firewood storage area to augment my small firewood shed so I built the lean-to shown...

Well I haven't had a lot of time or extra cash to spend on the shed recently, but I do have a mini update to post. I'm in the process of gathering the components needed to use the vintage Forney arc welder for lift or scratch start TIG welding. Here is the accessory kit and power cable...

It's actually a wood floor inside the shed with a cement ramp up to the door opening. Eventually I'd like to break out the cement and pour a larger (and level) pad in front of the shed. I need to pick up some more Romex and insulation so I can complete the sheathing of the last interior wall...

Well last fall (2009) we bought a place that included a 12' x 16' shed with full 8' walls. :bounce: The trick is to turn this into a work place that has some storage as well without letting the storage take everything over. The first order of business was correcting the electrical service to...

My first teardrop style camp trailer - 5'x5'x10' body: This has recently been sold.

Some of the trailers I have built: Expedition Trailer for a customer Luggage trailer - teardrop style:

The overspray is funny! I've been painting parts for my metal lathe at work aat the end of on of the parts isles. It's amazing how far that ivory paint drifted and then settled on the brick red floor. Oops! It kind of bugs me, but brings a smile at the same time. Good job with the grinder...

Looks good! Looks like the neighbor has somewhat the same idea as you. Keep the pictures coming.
