Finished a proper 3’x5’ welding/fab table today. I bolted the 1/2” hot rolled top, to a channel frame so I wouldn’t warp the snot out of it welding it. I then had it blanchard ground for pretty good price at $400. Then I added the legs, shelf and base. Still need to built an anvil insert for one end and an extension support slide on the other. I restored the Wilton vice several years ago, now it has a proper home. I tapped and bolted it to the top, but if it’s annoying and gets in the way I may make a insert mount for it so I can take it on and off easily. Although, 4 simple cap screws holding it on is pretty easy too. I’m all in for about $1000, but the top slab was purchased for $200 a couple years ago. More like a $600 slab if I bought it today. Pretty stoked to have it done.
