Here's my CUTTING TABLE made from the surplus grates:

I made it to fit just under the side door on my blast cabinet - that way I can use it to load or unload on -- and it's on wheels so I can pull it out to use it anywhere in the shop.

This is the welding/work table I made from a 1/2" sheet of steel... I added the "square post" at one end so I could drop some power there - and then later added the "peg board" cantilevered out so I could hang some "stuff" on... it keeps most of the table clear and I haven't run into any interference problems "yet". I use the POST for spools of wire storage and to 'stick' various vise jaw cushions to etc.

I mounted my Beverly shear to one leg ---- and on the other end - mounted my braided steel cutting saw...

Made this "clamp" holder from some square tubing... and it hangs down from the ceiling... I find hanging them overhead --- is easier for me to find the one I want - than when I had them down lower... But what the heck -- I'm old... so what do I know...

BTW -- If you happened to notice the "corrugated" galvanized steel "overhead" -- that was a good use of some left overs. I found that if I put it up (bends easy) between the floor joists... and then put the fluorescent lights up -- it made a great REFLECTOR.... HUGE difference in the 'down light' I got from them!!

I tell you what, that shop looks like it almost gets used.

Table designed with removable/flipable top with levelers.

Grinder Rack on side.

Another good idea is a shelf designed with a grate - to let all the weld trash and shop dust to drop thru.

Default My Monster Bench/Table

Here is my monstrosity of a work bench. Way, way Heavy! - - but I picked up these platens out of an injection molding machine at an auction for super cheap, so what the hell.

Here are the plates


I built it upside down and used the neighbors loader to flip it over - did I say it's Heavy!

We have several things mounted to it and continue to come up with other ways to mount stuff to it. I use the holes in the plates for all sorts of things. I've also drilled and tapped additional holes as needed.
