[Shootinok]

What is the angle iron on the end for?

Had a buddy recommend that idea. It works great.

Here's mine - made out of scrap channel. I've since added additional cross beams and plate along the bottom, as well as a couple of hitch receiver mounts for my vise and bench grinder.

I also welded some channel pieces to HF c-clamps so I can tighten the clamps from the top instead of having to reach underneath. (I know you're not supposed to weld cast iron to steel using ER70S-6 wire, but in this case its not really a safety issue if the weld fails, only a minor inconvenience).

Here's the link to mine. Too many pics, but 4x6' w/1" thick top. Claude's build (Nastyzen) was the main inspiration.

Looks great mato. What are all the bottom bolts about in the second picture, mounting studs?

Nice table desmato. What's the dimension of the top?

LX, looks like the bolts may sit inside the plates welded to the frame. They have holes drilled in them through the tubing. The weight of the table top holds it in place. Kind of clever that way you don't put any heat into the top from welding it to the frame. I think haha.

You're right. Yesterday I couldn't see they were counter sunk into the top in the first picture. Boy that took some time to do.

I just have a video at the the moment. The drill has been replaced with a garage door opener motor. I have to figure out the limit switches. Down will be simple up not so much.

Not mine, but very slick...

I built one several years ago. I wanted a Stronghand table, but I was un-employed at the time. Some details below.
