Came for a welding table video. Not a junk Chevy review.

High quality and simple !

Welding table looks good! The swirls on top for delivery to the customer are a nice touch. New truck is sweet! Too bad it's not a Ford. Recommendation for others when building metal tables - consider paint or a coating to mitigate rust on the bottom, especially legs and cross supports. It'd be nice to close the bottom of the four legs with small plates and mount adjustable feet or casters. Although the table may be level, floors often aren't.

Thank you. All good recommendations for the table. Another thought I had was a shelf on the bottom frame to store some tools and other items. I agree with everything except the Ford comment!😉 In all honesty, I think we all have our brand of choice, but I do enjoy the friendly banter of diesel owners alike. Thanks for watching!

Nice simple table. Good advice on the welding. Thanks.

Excellent size table to work off of too.

Great work! Let's see the updates on the truck!

Nice build. I'm wondering about your own personal table. I realize it's probably 3/4" plate, but do you think it might sag in the middle just on its own weight? There's no support in the middle. I have the same size table and I've found a few irregularities after 15 years of use, even with center supports.

@Freedomfabrication777

3 ай бұрын

My table is 4’x12’ and it’s 1” plate. I do have 3”x 3” x 3/8” angle that runs between both legs lengthwise to help keep it from sagging. I do have some irregularities in my table. It’s not perfectly flat, but for most projects, it works good for me. I will probably get a fixture table someday, but for now it works. Thanks for watching!

well, their not very realistic. I'd like to see them do all the stuff we do with a car. If a truck isn't a tool than any type of transportation will get the job done right. Wrong! There's a tool for every job and a truck is just one of those tools. Some people just don't see their own ignorance. Keep up the good work that was a good video, and don't try to understand why the design trucks the way they do. I think they ruined the looks of the Chevy HD trucks the last good looking ones were the 2011 models, but that's just me, but what good is a step bumper when you need a step to get to the step?@@Freedomfabrication777

Nice.👍 If you want to put bigger welds to fasten the table, top could you pre heat it to prevent twisting and warping? Or would that be a waste of time and money?

@Freedomfabrication777

Жыл бұрын

It probably would be a waste of time, just due to the fact that the purpose of the welds is literally just to hold the table top in place, and keep it from sliding off. It really doesn’t require any structural integrity other than keeping it from sliding off. Not a bad idea, but not necessary. 😉 🇺🇸⚡️🔥
