OK FAVORITE SON - another great design!! Thanks for using some of the rectangular steel tubing I donated. I think I might have donated the side cutter too? Several comments: 1. I wish I had a CrossFire for my projects when you were growing up!! What an awesome addition to any type of workshop. 2. Keep the originality of the old vice - Character and good memory. 3. Consider putting the roller jack up wheels on the LONG SIDE of the table. You will sooner or later, while using one of the vices, have a tendency to put on leverage on something you are working on that could potentially tip the table over. With the roller jack up wheels on the long side . . . they will give the table much more stability/anti-tip.

Yeah moving those wheels to the other side is a good idea. I do like them on the side I put them so I am not breaking my toes and shins on them. Ill consider moving them over to try it. Believe it or not the table is very stable even when rolling it around. I have yet to have a close call with tipping. Thanks for the tips Dad!

This is from an old fabricator/welder, great design and layout. Leave the one side solid. The size of the table says it all. You have plenty of hold down on one half. I the real world of welding it takes experience and know how. I was reading the comment of not cleaning the metal before welding. Try hanging in a pipe leg of an oil rig welding off heavy angle for a scaffold and depending on good old 6010 to bust your way through the rust and crap on the inside with the ocean water rolling around like a swell. Once you get some solid ground established you can clean where you are going to put your support pieces. I've worked for companies in my early days that would through you out the gate if you had to take time to rake the flux and trash out of the way to weld, When your in a shop you can clean or prep your weld areas, but honestly, clean metal, no rust, no grease, freshly cut? Get your butt in gear and get it done. I'm 68 years old and I can still lay it in there. 40 years pipe and tube welder, instructor, CWI, fabricator and I started back in the day when we still used Oxygen/Acetylene Gas Welding to make a living. Maybe you should show your base when it's necessary to be sanitary and clean and when it doesn't make sense other to hit it with a file and a hand brush. My Humble Opinion, your one of the best in my book. I have no doubt the you could easily throw down 2 pieces of rusty steel and weld it together just as good as it would if you had cleaned it all up. Great build.

I'm hunting for ideas for a new welding table/cart and this is the closest I've found to what I have in mind. Nicely done.

Nice. I remember my old wood benches. One I got into welding I make everything out of steel. I've been looking at those crossfire pro tables. I like the size, I have somewhat limited room. Keep on keeping on.

This is a very cool and practical design. Well done, very inspiring.

very nice build! I'm just getting started with welding and currently using the concrete floor lol. A welding table is on my short list for sure! I really like this design and the way it came together. Thanks for the great content - subbed.

Know the video is 2+years old but I would suggest putting the wheels 90 deg off on the long side to add to the stability of the table while moving around. Love all of your work so far, keep it up!

This is awesome and so compact

Very creative work, thanks for sharing it with us 👍🏻

Those hold-downs are rad! I recently picked up a steel cart out on the street for free that I want to add some bells and whistles to. After watching this video for the I-dont-know-how many-nth time, I think I'll see if I can add a slot for those hold-downs. Because the table top is flush with the frame (no over hang), this will solve that problem to a certain degree. Pretty sure that a 5/8" drill and a steady hand with an angle grinder will get the job done. I also use diagonal cutters to snip welding wire so I'll make a holder for those as well. Thanks man for all the ideas you pump out into Tubelandia, and with pretty cool soundtracks to boot (most other content creators videos have soundtracks that...hmmm, let's just say I ofteb have to hit the mute button!).

New subscriber, working on my welding table this week and is similar to your, but to save space, going to leaf (via hinge ) one side 24in x 16in x 1/2 plate. Plate will have fixturing tapped 3/8 & 7/16 holes with milled Tee slots. Have a 16in face plate on a short delta drill base that my rotary fixture mounts to, so my table does require adding one to it. Nice job, and like how yours has fixing & jack rollers. I must consider this concept as well. My Everlast 256s and 3 ton arbor press take up top space, but the added 16in x 24in leaf will give me + 20in more work area. Thx for sharing, I will post our's when finished. I also like Jeremy Fielding's powered height adjusting table concept, but thats more fabing and weight added. Cheers, and will visit often, Bear

22:16. Need to keep your door unobstructed to replace wire, tension wire, etc. Also you should get yourself a new set of Mig plyers since they can be used to snip the wire and so much more. Nozzle cleaning needlenose, plyers to loosen tips and pull wire, and other uses. Like the table
