Hey, thanks for watching! The brake/table combo has been super handy in saving space. I don't know how I'd fit it in my little shop if it weren't combined. It's definitely in need of a cover to keep it clean though.

Very beautiful welding / work table. Love this muilt use design. Love the videos. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend. Weld on. Fab on. Keep making. God bless.

This design and walk through including that cut off saw is one the best videos on KZread. BTW I appreciate how you used the design on paper then made that a template. But when you started using the tig I started to get very unhappy because I have never tried to tig weld. That’s it I’m now going to get a tig. Once again this is one of the best videos I’ve ever seen as I have learnt a better way to design my welding table

Thank you for the kind words! It would have been a lot faster to MIG the table together, but I'd like to weld more stainless in the future so I bought a TIG/stick machine. Even stick welding would have been faster, but it makes too much smoke for my little shop.

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it! Sadly it didn't come out flat. I think it's a combination of... 1. I welded the vertical fillets at the intersections of the slats and they shrunk a lot, bending the table and making it convex, and 2. I used twice as many stitches as I probably needed. I still use it all the time but eventually, I'll get the top laser cut with the fixture holes and try again. When I have the extra money that is lol.

Yup! I try to get all the problems sorted out in CAD before I begin to build anything. The software can make technical/dimensional drawings to work from but its all pretty manual and tedious. For those cope patterns, I was able to 'unroll' the outside surface so it was flat, then printed in 1:1 scale to wrap around the tube. It saves me tons of time. Rhino can make models for 3d printing and files for cnc cutting. It's not cheap but i like it because its a one-time purchase with no monthly subscriptions. I took a class to learn it.

There’re lot of guys & gals doing incredible work out there, off the cuff so-to-speak, but your actual build shows how much time you probably saved not d’ing around with designing on the fly. Nothing more then constructive criticism to say you’d probably find a niche market explaining the design software/prep significance, since your fab is clearly professional. You may help those who actually want to be more then hobbyists by demonstrating how much time is saved ($$$ made) by investing in the prep? Just a stranger’s 2cents!

My background is as a jewellery designer and I've been a full-time fabricator for years now. So PunkerBuilds combines my design background with industrial fabrication experience. As for the software/welding experience, it's all about patience and persistence. When I actually get around to building things, it's usually the 3rd, 4th or 5th iteration of a design. Whether its welding or a new program, it comes down to picking up little tricks, bit by bit, untill you have an arsenal to work with. Thanks for watching! More cool stuff to come! Cheers.

I think the short answer is yes lol. In Rhino, the program i use, its just a command called "picture" and it imports any picture that i can set in the virtual space, manipulate, change the transparency and draw on top of it. The trick is making sure the picture is taken relatively square to thing you're trying to reference. I use it all the time to transfer my pencil sketches into the program, then draw the curves on top. It will be different for each program but i believe it is fairly common.
