Welding Tips and Tricks

Here's mine:
Just finished a home built larger arm for a LED work light from Lowes, can be positioned in any hole on the table. The Cert-Flat table has an extra 1/4" top for a total of 9/16" thickness. In the center of the table is a Lincoln Miniflex fume extractor, and notice the 5/16" aluminum ramp (on the floor) so there's no tripping over the 220 volt cord.

48"x72"x0.750" blanchard ground sitting on 3"x3"x0.25" frame with leveling casters. Holes are 5/8" on 2" centers.

Tungstendipper,
Very well thought out table. I like the little storage shelf on the right underside for rat holing scrap, sweet! Looks very comfortable as well.

Thanks! It holds up to 4ft. scraps 90 degrees from the short pieces shown up front. The scrap idea evolved from a gluing table I built 35 years ago. Built out of wood, it had a 3/4" dip in the middle of the table, and would catch on fire when I would plasma cut on it. I used it for over 35 years! This welding table is a dream!

CJ, Your table is beautiful!!!! Looks as accurate as a granite block inspection table!

Should call that thing "The Beast".

Tungstendipper,
I did not notice your lathe and grinder in the background behind your Everlast welder? Looks like Metal Central. A small industrial corner of your garage. Nice organization of metal specific tools.

Thanks! It's no big deal, many have much more. I'm truly grateful just to have a warm shop to work in. It's mainly a wood shop and my Dad was a machinist and I inherited the lathe and a lot of tooling.
