This could be the ultimate welding table.

Your's looks great.

I'm sure it feels sturdy with the 1/4'' material you used for the frame. I really like the extra foot room you gained by moving that bottom tube in a few inches.

Thanks for posting your build.

It definitely won't tip over :). Because it's heavier than it needs to be, it probably wasn't any cheaper using used material in the end. If I ever get bored enough, I'll do the math.

I inset the legs in the basic design so that I can push the top flush to the walls accounting for the extra width of my concrete stem walls at the bottom.

Reading through the thread in the planning stages, I saw a comment about leaving room for a tig pedal. Since using my new tig was part of the motivation for the build, I made the bottom just big enough to hold my saw and an old craftsman toolbox lower for clamps, grinders and welding supplies. I picked up ideas from several people on this thread.

This weekend I plan to add pvc tig rod holders on the right side and a sheet metal tray under the slats to catch weld spatter.
Thanks again for the inspiration.

Do you feel the adjustable top was necessary vs tack welding the flats straight onto the top of the frame?

None of this was even slightly necessary. :) It allows for the plates to be leveled nicely and for clamps to slide all the way front to back.
If you managed to get the top of your frame perfectly true then you wouldn't need any adjustability to have a flat surface and depending on the clamp style, you wouldn't miss being able to slide them all the way.
