    Default First project with my new Mig.

    This is my welding table project and the first time with the I-200
    Used 1.5 x 1.5 x .250 angle for the frame and a combination of 6x1/2 and 8x 1/2 on the top. I butted the 8 inch flats and left 1.5 in between the 6 inch slats.
    5 inch casters are from Caster city two fixed and two total lock swivel
    I am going to bolt the slats from the bottom so I can remove them for room or replacement if they warp too much

    Nice! Is that top 1/4" or 3/8"? I'm going to build a new 4' X 6' table when I get around to it, to replace my 4' x 3" I use now. Was thinking I may make the top out of three 4' x 2' x 1/2" sections for clamping in the middle as you did.
    Very nice shop you have as well!

    The slats are 6 x 1/2 with 1 1/2 spacing and the therr slats butted together are 8 x 1/2 there is a 4 inch overlap all around the edge and I will be ronding the out side corners of the end slats

    DUH! I guess I should have read your first post more carefully on the thickness. They just didn't look that thick on the photos.

    Default More progress

    Here are some pictures of the end slats radiused and the blind holes drilled and topped for the clamps I am making to hold the slats to the frame.
    Tomorrow I hope to complete the brackets and start on the clamp hanger (if I can figure how I want to do it) And mounting the receiver tubing. I want to mount two so I can use it for my vice and also make a cutting table that can be stored under the bench and set up when needed.

    The cutting table ? Have you thought of making one that is hinged off the end and swings up and locks in place, then unlocks and swings down. There is a slated grid material available that would work nicely for just such a thing.

    looks good, I have the same vise only a bit smaller, just attached it over one of the corner legs using 3 bolts in the base, seems to work okay that way.
    Had to laugh at the way you hang your grinders, that's exactly how I hang mine. There is a lot of satisfaction on comleteing a project like that, isn't there.

    leaving a gap between the slats is a good idea, gives you a chance to make some nifty hold down clamps that can slide along to different positions. Nice build.
