Welding table is finally home

[Youngfd]

My welding table has been stored at a friends for 14 years. I finally have room for it and had a way to transport it. It tips the scales at about 1,200 lbs. Measures 3 foot and 6 foot with a full 1 inch steel top. Time for a clean up and paint job. I will be adding casters (thinking 6 inch, full swivel with locks), receiver hitch for vise mount or ???, 110 volt outlets on front along with air fittings mounted somewhere on it.

Love heavy duty Tables...Casters...not so much. But I get it.

Nice Table!

I am in the same boat, but opposite side. I had my buddy's table and he came and got it, so I am building one now.

Here is a deal on some heavy duty leveling swivel casters. By screwing the dial you can level out the table, or set down the wheels and move it wherever. They are a rip off of footmaster brand, but at a fraction of the price. I had to laugh, they are labelled "FOOTNASTER". Can't be beat for $60.

Decided to go non caster. Painted the front only, added power, air, 2 receiver hitches and a clamp bar. Vise mount is a Trick Tools product. Super quality.

AngryBeaver. You have a great looking welding table!! Can't believe I forgot a fire extinguisher!! Just added one to the roll bar of my new tractor--- and I was a fireman. I will get right on that.

If you change your mind, consider an adjustable height leveling system that bypasses casters. A lot of work though..

Maybe it's just me, but that vise is way too nice to put on a welding table.

That's a sweet table! I'd have stayed away from the casters as well to keep it more stable. If you ever need to store it, you can always keep it at my place!
