I was able to purchase a remnant 5ft x 8ft x 1/2” thick plate in my neck of woods for about $400. I could of saved another $60 bucks had I had them cut it down to 3.5ft x 5.5ft. But I figured it was nice to have extra for future projects. If I purchased a new 4x8x1/2 thick plate it would of ran me $560. So I guess it kind of all depends... The crazy part is I actually wanted 3/4” thick plate just to future proof it for life. But that was $$$. Thanks for the sub!👍

Ratha well done with your welding table! As similar professionally made welding table costs @ $1800 Aussie dollars including clamping and fixtures. That table is smaller than yours. I did like the addition of the catch trays as they will be great for reducing how much crap falls down onto your tools stored below. A second benefit is when a screw or nut or something else small and value falls through the holes and it will, it will be easier to find it in the tray rather than searching through your stored equipment. I was surprised that the wood router and carbide bit worked so well as a Carpenter of 36 years I was actually expecting disaster. I thought that the 3 inch hole centre’s was an interesting choice. Have to think about that one and see how it works for you. You will find the table is great for cabinetmaking projects but be prepared to oil your table first with a canola oil spray like used for cooking and to lay down wax proof paper when doing a large glue up because there will be glue spills and runs no matter what. Same thing goes for painting items, a protective surface benefits your project and your welding table. Mark from Melbourne Australia

Great job man. A couple of things I would have done differently is ordered the plate from a laser or water cut cnc place with the holes already done to match the pilot on your annular cutter. Then you can set your mag drill up on them and they will be good to go. The second thing is make the perimeter flat bar four pieces instead of lots of little bits. Every day is a learning day so enjoy the ride!!
