FABRICATING A WELDING TABLE | TRENT'S GARAGE
I am desperately in need of a welding table, a work bench... Somewhere that I can work on projects and it needs to be strong, sturdy, and made out of steel!!!
Come along today and enjoy watching me fabricate this table from the ground up. It's been a while since I did a lot of welding but I'm ready to get back in the groove.
Thanks for watching and don't forget to subscribe.

You should have put some locking casters on your table so that you can move it around more easily. You probably would want to move it out to the center of the stall to use it.

Perfect time for reflection... Take a deep breath...everyone can use a litte advice and suggestions, the good thing about them both is you can take them or leave them, meaning not use them. And if I know Trent and Brandon, they more than likely have something better planned for the uses they will apply this table for but sure they appreciate all ideas...you never know when someones will be of help.

Trent, you remind me of my brother-in-law. Jack of all trades. If he doesn’t know how, he figures it out with books or you tube. He became a pilot of a helicopter, bought an older 60’ish helicopter, used it to get his hours. Turned around an sold it. So it really only cost the gas and time. He then got a promotion at work (LE) became the top man that gave final tests throughout the state for others that flew for our department. He just has a mind like yours. Love your family and Brandon 😊👍
Glad to see Brandon taking on some of the filming to give Allie a little more time back for editing a third weekly video! 👍🏼😎

Brandon the Man... I'm loving this content.
I know absolutely zero about most of the things that you do, but it's so much fun to learn how to build, wire, plumb, and weld by watching you. I had no idea how to purchase steel; I had no idea that there were shops that sold it. Thanks for showing us how to do so much.
My dad was a welding instructor. If he were with us today, he would say, “great job young man”.

Locking and unlocking casters each time you move a heavy duty work table is unreliable. I would much rather have it right where Trent has his: with a wall backing. Space to maneuver for clamping is easy enough because he can slide the table out a few feet without difficulty. Stability is an absolute on a heavy metal table that will be used for welding often times large, awkward objects.
Like both channels very much from South AFrica
So glad too see Brandon is helping with you on this channel.. I’m so happy for you I wish I could get my channel as many likes that you have.. I need too borrow Allie to show how too video my videos .
Trent , Its great to see Alley filming,that means twice as many videos coming from you. Great table project, Iam waiting to see more, Hug Frank the dog for us.
Every man needs a welding table especially if you like welding or if your working on your truck yourself it helps out a lot to have a welding table..
I really think your welding table, is a very good idea. Your welds look amazing.
Stacking dimes, Trent great welding. You guys make a great team.

Oh wow! metal can be heavy for sure, and I think that you did a good job fabricating it. I think it needs some wheels or something to make it a lot easier to move around since it is so heavy. I am excited to see the truck get worked on. Thanks for a great video to watch have a great day, sending love and hugs, bye! 😂👋👍💜💜💜
YAY! Great video, interesting table (needs casters) it is great to get to see this from the beginning with you and Brandon and Allie getting the shop setup. Keep the videos coming
So with everything else you, now your are filming Trent’s garage. Allie you ROCK!!!!
Great Brandon back. Love the three of you.
Been with youse guys since you started building the house. Now as a car guy looking forward to this channel. "Flatheads forever" Gramps
Locking casters and a strong healthy vice are a must 👍
I agree with the casters. You did a really good job of welding. Keep up the really good work
I built one of those about 25 years ago. I started with 3/4" x4'x8' steel plate. Used 3"x3" x 1/4" square tubing for the legs and structure. I cut off 10" off the 8' side folded it up 90 degrees and welded it to the table as a backsplash. I then welded some 1"x1" square tube to the backsplash and bolted a 3/4" piece of plywood. Painted the plywood white to do a shadow board and painted the whole table gray except the top face. Bolted down a big vise to the left side. Then a two stone grinder on the right. Then mounted two switches one for the lights and the other for the grinder and two plug receptacle. Then welded on some heavy duty steel casters on to make it easier to move. It has stood up great and is like new after 25 years of fabricating.

Good to see Brandon helping you out.
I don't know the answer to the quiz question, but my hubby does it within seconds... lol! He's a journeyman ironworker/rigger. He said the steel sheet weighs 528#'s and that steel weighs 44 #s per square foot. Then he broke down the math to me.... lol! He's so darn smart.... lol! So love this channel to Trent. 😍
casters are a good idea, especially in a small shop . the ability to roll the table outside to weld is important. now Trent is welding cutting and grinding against a wood wall.
Happy to see Brandon here . . I mean how could you not?! 🤔💁🏻♂️😄
Casters are Definitely the way to go.
Trent - Aside from what you've said, the fact that it sits flat, is great. As well, I built a worktable similar about 30 years ago, and I might wipe it down with an oily rag every 5 years, and still, no rust. As well, a hint to the wise, take a grinder and round off those sharp corners on the top plate. Your hips, and Leo's head, will probably thank you for that.
You're doing awesome Trent, please don't doubt yourself or take criticism to heart. Great job!! Yay love seeing Brandon helping he is doing wonderful job. You both deserve a big oat on the back...wooooo high 5! Sending Loves and pat on back to you all!! ❤️ Be safe, from your fan in Vancouver BC ❤️💋🇨🇦
Think 🤔 U DONE A GOOD JOB OF THE TABLE TRENT, DONE A BIT OF WELDING MYSELF BACK IN THE DAY,
OK...OK, welding table covered...just need that C&C Plasma cutting table, and your all set! :)
Nice beads man! 👍🏼

Flap discs never used to be a thing years back but that seems to be one of the popular items used for years now to clean up mill scale on hot rolled steel without removing or gouging into the metal as much as a typical grinding wheel would do. As soon as I saw you pull out the rag I was going no no no in my head LOL,. first mechanically remove the mill scale, then use the acetone if you really feel the need and I think in most cases with thicker steel that is not a requirement, definitely a different story with aluminum as that is a whole other beast. Oh and using a wire wheel on an angle grinder to clean mill scale, that typically will not take it off, you think you have but its still there to some degree. What is nice is to have multiple angle grinders when one is using a combination of a grinding wheel, flap disc, cut off wheel and rather than change out constantly between wheels for each phase of a project, they are all ready to go. That is the drawback of mig, it hates mill scale where as depending on the rod doing stick welding, one can get away with less prep. Of course everything else is a negative with stick as per having to deal with slag removal, slag inclusions if the technique is not correct ... mig sure shines then !. Great job on the welding table though ( aside from the cleaning learning curve you experienced without me having to babble all of this ). With that table depending on your plans, chances are you will probably want to mount on a vice and incorporate the underside stiffeners as was suggested to beef up the table top stiffness at that time. Nice project you can be proud of and will get lots of use I am sure !
Trent the er so cool 👍👊
T & A, I didn't know if I was going to enjoy this new channel of yours, but I love it! It is never boring and you always explain what you are doing.

Oh oh I have a suggestion for when you buy more metal sheets! You know those felt furniture slides you put under your couch to move around the room? Get some, throw them down in the bed of the truck before the forklift drops a sheet in. It will let you slide out the sheets easier. Also - hair out of square is okay as long as it's functional for your needs.
Welding is no joke. When I was young, I worked for Brandon & Turnage Race Cars. Among other things, we balanced engines. When DOING this we had to use a TIG welder. Since the welds were, sometimes, close to bearing surfaces, it was important to be careful where to touch the welding wire. One HAS to use a super-dark welding hood. One time I had a very difficult place to weld in and started the welding wire, THEN flipped the hood down. Woke up in the middle of the night with my eyes on fire. Like hot ground glass was in them. I had flash-burned my eyes. The hospital said that I also had some damage to my retinas.
What an absolute joy to watch you and Brandon working together and what a magnificent job on the table Trent 🥰 I would add locking wheels to it
Great little welder, I love it, purdy bead also. I welded direct fit converters for 9 years, I worked in a very large muffler factory. Great looking table also.

Nice plate, Trent, if I'm not wrong, that should weight around 220,5 kg. A nice, nice patch. For welding table will be perfect, also to do some metal work. If I was you, I would include on one side a removable sheet folding assembly (rigorously homemade) for projects like bodywork and fabrication. Cheers, waiting to see some building stuff. 😉

If you no what steel weights by the square foot it’s easy to figure out!! It’s about 480lbs to 500lbs for a 4’x8’ sheet 3/8” thick!! I always do a +&- of 10lbs to be safe!!! I had half of a flat bed truck and that Is what I am making my fab table out of for my shop!! It was free and I definitely needed a metal Fab table with a bench vise on it also!!!
