Got a chance to start putting the welding table together… Finally.
All welded together – hangars located and temporary installed. I changed the design to make them removable and adjustable. They will be stainless and I’ll install them after paint. There will be a washers up against the leg – with a hole drilled thru the bar for a hairpin to keep it in place while being able to adjust it in the future for changes in tools. Left side is c-clamp storage. Right side is vice-grip storage. I added a tool rack on the right side to hold all the standard fab tools. Found a nice bolt on unit that holds everything in a compact format. (it’s located at
www.swagoffroad.com). The cross support under the table is where I’ll store tools that will bolt to the table top when needed (vise, tube notcher, Beverly shear, etc) Added a 58 piece machinist clamp set so I can clamp directly to the hole pattern (3/8 x 16 NC) I punched into the table top. The draw glides are located and installed.
Next is to build the drawer and the removable splatter guard that bolts to the table top – and sand down the table top and sides so they are nice and shinny.
Off to the sand blaster this week and then to paint. I’ll update when it’s completed.
