    Nice work. Finally a video showing someone using a cold saw to fab one of these. Drives me crazy watching all these “fabricators” using only an angle grinder and hack saws to cut metal. You can’t beat the Evolution saw! I made my table a bit differently though. I used 6 pcs of 1/2 X 6 X 36 plates. Also 4 pieces 1/2 X 1 X 36 to go in between the 6 in plates. They are removable and this will allow for easy clamp access. This way I didn’t need to drill a bunch of .625 dia. holes for clamps. Amazon has some very nice adjustable clamps at a great price that are perfect for this! The plates are all height adjustable via 4 3/8 flat head bolts screwed in at each corner from the top. The holes are countersunk and taped. An adjusting nut and washer goes under the plate. The frame has clearance holes. When adjusted simply lock in place. Easier to fab and you can also replace sections if needed. I also fabricated the top frame without miters as I wanted the ends open to slide in a smaller tube. They become table extensions if needed. I enjoyed your video and nice work, good welds too. And I especially love the hot rod and motorcycle! No hot rod in my shop. Just 4 custom motorcycles 😂

    You have some great ideas for a pretty versatile table, especially the sectioned top plates. My table is dead simple and built around commonly available parts. It's designed specifically for building motorcycle frames, chassis and suspension parts but f I had to build another table, I'd probably incorporate some of your ideas. Cheers!

    Thanks Baggyarse! It's always a great idea to scale the table to your needs. For me, I needed a longer table to work on larger car/truck parts such as axles, trailing arms, motorcycle frames, etc. For a lot of people, the deciding factor for table size could simply be determined by the size table top available. For a modular shop, casters are a game changer. Cheers!

    in the material list, you show 2 x 20", but it should be 3 x 20". this is a great video and very helpful. I was thinking of a 36" x 72", but it looks like 24" is a good size. Do you wish that you went 36" deep or some other size?

    You're absolutely correct, good catch. I'll change the material list ASAP. 24" is a good size for my space and a heck of a lot cheaper to build. If this table were to be made 36" wide, it would require thicker base material and additional structural support to accommodate the increased weight. Thanks for the feedback!
