I have to say it was pretty nice working today on the table building the extensions. I think I'm going to like this once complete.

Ran out of gas while welding up the second extension otherwise it would be pretty close to finished.








Now I just need to find a vice or two, some grinders and who knows what else so I can build extensions to mount them on.

After a year and a half without a working vise to use...I now have one again.







This will get me by for now until I stumble across a deal on a higher quality vise. I'm just happy to have an extra set of hands to help hold things in the shop once again.

Looks good.

You may already have it but if you don't I would weld a nut to outside vise tube so you can lock the tube in position if needed. A bolt or hand knob would work.

Thanks... And yep, already in place.



Did this the same way I did the lock bolts on the extension slides. Thinking about either welding a pin onto the bolt head to make it easier to tighten by hand or getting knobs to thread into place where the bolts are now.

It looks like a hell of a nice setup.

Lance, you actually inspired me to get off my ass and build a new welding table. I've been meaning to, got a ton of scrap just begging to made into something, so spend the last few nights building this. Didn't need anything fancy, and the only thing I bought was the 3/8" top. Made some adjustable feet (this won't get moved!),ground clamp bolt, and rounded corners on the top.

Thanks for posting this. Some great ideas floating around that I will definitely use when building my table

Started a new project today that required cutting up some 2" square tube. Perfect chance to see if I could get a chop saw to sit flush with table top. It did...



Bench worked like a champ. Now if I just wouldn't have run out of gas, I might have finished the project the same day I started it.

Happy New Year everyone!!
