Need some tips on welding sheet metal to 3/8 plate
I have a couple pairs of prefab metal legs that are meant for mounting to a wooden top. I'd guess that the metal on them is 14 gauge. I'm thinking of using them for a small 3x4 welding table using 3/8 plate. So far my practice has been limited to pretty thick stuff. 3/16 and 1/4" thick scrap. What's the preferred method of welding sheet metal to a thick top. It would be a fillet type weld. I thought about trying to weld around the provided bolt holes since that is where it's designed to be attached to something, but I've not tried welding anything this thin before.
What do you suggest?
