From one fabricator to another, GREAT job. The adjustable caster set up is very heavy duty. And what makes it full of common sense is that you built the top in manageable pieces. 2 THUMBS UP 👍👍😎.
Just got myself a mig welder and want to build a welding table as my first project. Your table design is so simple and practical I can't wait to start. Thank you! Hope your head is OK. :))
Slick as hell! When I saw the first set of nuts I had no idea they were that big! (no comments!) I built my table out of steel racking like you see at Home Depot. I just got it to a height I liked and welded all the contact points. I figured if the hold tens of thousands of lbs. I'd give it a shot! My next project will be a trolley hoist.
Nice simple and clean build. I tried the bolts for leveling on a bench I did - used bolt sizes too small for the weight of the bench and found them to be binding. Cheers
Phil hi. I am an amateur welder and I like to do small weekend welding projects. I do not have a welding table and am interested in making one. The thing is, I don't have room in my garage for a table like this. BUT researching UA-cam for a collapsible welding table, info is scarce. I think it would be very interesting if you uploaded a video making a foldable one, even the same size as this, but one that can be folded and placed against a wall. I'm sure there are many people in the same position with me. Thanks!
That was a very nice build. Its about time I made another welding table for my everlast equipment. Got myself a powerplasma cutter so I need a downdraft cutting area.
Good afternoon, Phil. From now on I must tell you that the table is excellent ... I need to know if, in any place you have detailed the measurements of the table and the materials that you used ?. From now I thank you the information. Greetings from Argentina, Angel
Hey thanks. As far as I remember the steel plates were 60x70cm each and 8mm thick. So that makes for a total width of 180cm, the base has the same size obviously. The square tubing is 45x45x2mm construction steel and the threaded rods and nuts are M36. I made it so that the height is adjustable from about 80cm to 120cm, right now the table is at 100cm working height just like my large workbench. The wheels are 150mm in diameter if I remember correctly and all of them can be locked in position.
Not much cleaning up afterwards when looking at mig-welding. I don't weld much and don't mind cleaning up the welds. But this is more my pace with tig-welding. I'm not sure to change machine, but i like the outcome of the tig-welds.
I first saw this video a year ago and was recently talking about how I saw a guy build a beautiful welding table, so I had to see it again. Still impressive!
nice table I have built a few the same way only thing I would do different is let the plate hang over the tubing a bit so clamping is made easier sometimes the tubing makes the clamps slip
@kalei p. That is an interesting thought. I am about to build a welding table in the next two weeks. I have designed one that has the same dimensions for the table top as Phil's here, (1800mm x 700mm) but I am going to have 100mm of plate hang over the tubing all around. My thoughts are so that I can use clamps, which you mentioned also. I am planning on using 6mm mild steel plate for the top. Do you think 100mm stick out would be okay or do you think it might be too much. I have seen a lot of builds but I haven't seen any with an overhang like I am planning.
Me and coworker are going to make one tomorrow. We are gathering materials. What size tubing in inches and what size all thread? Im guessing 2" tubing?
Just my hitghth I'm in a wheelchair and like how it's adjustable great video ima try and make one I have most of the tools just not a tig welder a mug with fix wire but I do have a metal chop saw
Wolfman Jack thank you for replying, I have a welder I've been a welder for 20 years, I was just looking for the lazy way out, I can use some of hi ideas I did draw out my own work table on paper with the measurements and all. I do have metal foundries that that sell metal. Thanks again Wolfman Jack for replying I do appreciate that I learn off comments to on UA-cam comments teach to.
Very nice job, of course I know you have a lot of skills to very good job like this. May I ask, I don't know what welding machine are you using and I'm surprised about this weldings. I online have a welding machine that you have an electrode but is like rigid, like a pen. Thank you!
0:20 I don't have a saw like you, I only have a grinding wheel to cut the metal. Is there a way I can make the same cuts but with the grinder? To make the pieces perfectly fit? Thanks !!!
It's tricky to do with a grinder but I think you can get close if you're really careful. You'd probably have to do some filing afterwards to get the fit right and make sure to scribe accurate lines before and try to stay on the lines as best as possible.. there's also cut-off stands available, they're not that expensive and you can put your grinder into them and use them to make straighter cuts and also mitre cuts like these. If you're really patient you could use hacksaw too, they're actually more accurate than a grinder but it takes a lot of elbow grease...
*_What is the name of the steel you used?_* *_Is it possible to do welding in galvanized steel properly?_* I want to make my steel table corrosion free. It should last 70-80 years. *_Is it possible to galvanize a full 6 feet by 3 feet table after making it with Mild Steel?_*
This is just regular mild steel without any coating. I suppose it would be possible to galvanize it if you can find a company that can work with that size. I think it would be very expensive though. As for welding, you'd need to galvanize it after welding, if you weld on galvanized steel it will destroy the coating (and also produce some nasty fumes). Why not just use some high quality paint? Good paint can last a long time and prevent corrosion.
Good video and all, but is it not more common to TIG weld without gloves? I thought it was because you need more dexterity? Or is that just bad practice i imagine?
Not really. You're melting metal so unless you're doing something really small and quick or are just tack-welding, the workpiece is gonna get very hot. Plus usually at least one hand is resting on the workpiece to be more steady. In my experience it's easier to get away without gloves using MIG because you don't necessarly have to touch the work piece. In both cases it's kinda dumb and you're probably going to burn yourself. That being said, you can get away with thinner gloves using TIG because you don't get sparks and spatter. Often times I just use normal work gloves instead of leather welding gloves. Gloves also protect against the UV light which can give you skin cancer. Obviously that's pointless if you weld with your sleeves rolled up like I often do - don't do that, I'm dumb.
@@PhilVandelay this might be a silly question but how long do weld uv burns normally last? and are they supposed to be painless after applying neem oil and aloe ? ps what is the dimension of your tube profile?
PV: I happened across this video while doing research on a welder I plan to buy soon. Right now, my choices are a cheap stick/TIG welder and a Miller 161 stick/TIG welder. After watching your video, I’m digging TIG and think that I might ultimately make TIG my primary method of welding. Your TIG machine looks like a nice one. Question: is it better to buy a cheap stick/TIG welder to learn on spend the money up front and get the more expensive stick/TIG welder? You did an excellent job on your table. After I get more proficient as a welder, I might try to make something similar.
Like how it’s adjustable AND has castors. I am going to do that on mine. Great idea. Great table build If I do a video I will link to yours on the castor idea and give credit. Of course New subscriber here. Can’t wait to go watch all your old vids
Nice job awesome. Just a quick question if you don't mind? I am wanting to get into welding and from the videos I've watched they recommend a MIG for beginners but the TIG you use looks better to use what would you recommend? Also you mentioned a degreaser do you use acetone as your degreaser?
It depends on what kind of projects you work on, TIG is better suited for very precise welding (for example most bike frames are done with TIG which is why I use it). It's much slower and a bit more complicated than MIG though. MIG is very fast and relatively easy to learn. For this kind of build (welding square tubing) a MIG machine would be much better suited and quicker. The only reason I use TIG here is because I don't have a MIG welder. That being said TIG is very versatile, you can do almost anything with it. It just takes longer and needs a little more care and preparation. In general it's good for smaller things that fit onto a table. You (almost) always need both hands for TIG and sometimes even a foot pedal in addition. With MIG you can just weld one handed which is a huge advantage if you have to get into awkward positions like welding upside down which sometimes can't be avoided. As for degreaser, yes Acetone works well and I use it although I would like to use something that's not as hard on your lungs, acetone fumes are pretty nasty. Speaking of it, never use brake cleaner on anything you plan to weld on, they contain a chemical that gets very toxic when heated.
Schöner Tisch! Wie ich sehe benutzt du ein Stahlwerk Schweissgerät. Das Gleiche wollte ich mir auch sehr bald zulegen. Kannst du es weiterempfehlen, oder bereust du deine Wahl?

Not sure about the brand actually, they don't have one on them but they're always pretty much the same, you can get them in a lot of places. The big ones are quite strong. Definitely recommend them, they're super useful for a lot of things

The welder your using is it a muti process welder. Because I find a bring new one on eBay for 368$. In your opinion is it gonna be a good welder that lasts. Or am I just wasting $
Right but it's actually way oversized. M20 would have been easily enough for this, I think I just picked it because the nuts matched the tubing so no connecting plate was needed
@@PhilVandelay Cheers Buddy, having a cold one now wish i could shout you for the night.....We should have been there but for this bloody "MAN MADE DISASTER"..Maybe its safer if you come done here.....LOL.
Hi Phil, a very nice build welding table. Do you bought the metal bandsaw also on paulimot? If so, which bandsaw blade you use on it, or is the original one really good? Thanks a lot for your effort.
I noticed the project used Tig all the way, What is your opinion of Tig vs Mig welding? I am a novice and have not purchased my first welder yet but am getting closer. What would you recommend as a welder to start with? And nice table
Good question. Generally, for something like this (welding square tubing together with simple joints) most people use a MIG machine because it's simply faster, easier and more comfortable to use and just gets the job done. The reason I used TIG for this is simply because it's the only welder I have (it can do stick welding too but let's not get into that). MIG is easier to learn but gives you less control over what's happening with the weld and in turn also gives you less understanding, because once set up right, it's possible to use MIG literally like a hot glue gun and it kinda does the trick but also hides a lot of the finer intricacies of welding due to mashing a lot of the important variables together. That's a bit simplified and people will disagree but that's how I see it. So with TIG, you have to control everything yourself, which makes it much harder to learn in the beginning, but the knowledge that you gain is invaluable in all kinds of welding because it gives you a good understanding and intuition on what's actually happening when you melt metal together. So that's why I think it's actually a good idea for a beginner to start out with a cheap TIG machine (there's alright ones to be had for as little as 250$). TIG is also great for welding thin, small material precisely and it's the only process that can do it properly. It can also weld big things though, although it's gonna take more time than with MIG. So in short: If you mostly just want to throw together some tubing quickly for something like this, get MIG. If you have time and patience and are prepared to gather some information to really get into welding, get TIG. Ideally you'd have both and that's what I plan on someday. Either way there's great resources here on youtube for everything. Check out weldingtipsandtricks, weld.com, chucke2009, the everlast channel, kevin caron and many others here on youtube for tutorials and info. That's basically how I learned :)
Thanks for the direction. Time and budget will be a factor as it will be a hobby to start. I am rewiring my garage to accommodate a few 220 lines and will be able to get a decent welder (and table saw). Do you think, just to start with, a welder from Harbor Freight would be a good starting point?
I actually started out on a flux core welder (kind of the worst of all worlds) from a store like harbor freight and it worked for me but I'm not familiar with their lineup as I'm not from the US. Most of these stores sell generic machines from china that just get branded to the store. They can be a good deal for the money but I would suggest to definitely look for some reviews online before you buy anything like that. But you definitely don't need a super expensive one to start out like some people would tell you.
Great build man, good thorough steps. Excellent looking quality. I guess u prefer T.I.G. over M.I.G.? I would've M.I.G. welded that steel tubing but that's my thing. I am a welder but TIG has never been my favorite process...
The only reason I TIG welded this is because I don't have a MIG welder ;) I started out with TIG because of bike stuff where you need the precision. MIG is faster for this kind of thing for sure, and more comfortable. I really need to get myself a MIG machine...
From one fabricator to another, GREAT job. The adjustable caster set up is very heavy duty. And what makes it full of common sense is that you built the top in manageable pieces. 2 THUMBS UP 👍👍😎.

Thanks! It depends a lot on the machine and settings, with the newer ones it's a bit easier.

Most of the places I live prefer thicker iron plates.
I used a 1/4 in steel plate for mine but I was also aiming for a 500-1000 lb table
very impressive, well thought out, just curious, why not use a wire welder, all though your weld looks very clean
Don't have one ;)

Does chamfering the edges help with tig? Or only helps with mig and stick?

I noticed the project used Tig all the way, What is your opinion of Tig vs Mig welding? I am a novice and have not purchased my first welder yet but am getting closer. What would you recommend as a welder to start with? And nice table
Good question. Generally, for something like this (welding square tubing together with simple joints) most people use a MIG machine because it's simply faster, easier and more comfortable to use and just gets the job done. The reason I used TIG for this is simply because it's the only welder I have (it can do stick welding too but let's not get into that). MIG is easier to learn but gives you less control over what's happening with the weld and in turn also gives you less understanding, because once set up right, it's possible to use MIG literally like a hot glue gun and it kinda does the trick but also hides a lot of the finer intricacies of welding due to mashing a lot of the important variables together. That's a bit simplified and people will disagree but that's how I see it. So with TIG, you have to control everything yourself, which makes it much harder to learn in the beginning, but the knowledge that you gain is invaluable in all kinds of welding because it gives you a good understanding and intuition on what's actually happening when you melt metal together. So that's why I think it's actually a good idea for a beginner to start out with a cheap TIG machine (there's alright ones to be had for as little as 250$). TIG is also great for welding thin, small material precisely and it's the only process that can do it properly. It can also weld big things though, although it's gonna take more time than with MIG. So in short: If you mostly just want to throw together some tubing quickly for something like this, get MIG. If you have time and patience and are prepared to gather some information to really get into welding, get TIG. Ideally you'd have both and that's what I plan on someday. Either way there's great resources here on youtube for everything. Check out weldingtipsandtricks, weld.com, chucke2009, the everlast channel, kevin caron and many others here on youtube for tutorials and info. That's basically how I learned :)
Thanks for the direction. Time and budget will be a factor as it will be a hobby to start. I am rewiring my garage to accommodate a few 220 lines and will be able to get a decent welder (and table saw). Do you think, just to start with, a welder from Harbor Freight would be a good starting point?
I actually started out on a flux core welder (kind of the worst of all worlds) from a store like harbor freight and it worked for me but I'm not familiar with their lineup as I'm not from the US. Most of these stores sell generic machines from china that just get branded to the store. They can be a good deal for the money but I would suggest to definitely look for some reviews online before you buy anything like that. But you definitely don't need a super expensive one to start out like some people would tell you.
Perfect. Thanks again for the direction.
Nice build!! What are the dimensions of the table?
180x70cm, 100cm in height, the tubing is 45x45x2mm, threaded rots and nuts are M36
Está chingona, good job!
Super czyste wykonanie
Great work!!! Do you have a materials list for the build? I wanna make one myself
it will be easier to clamp work piece if top table a bit wider and longer than the structure
Great job on the table I’m also in the process of making a work table as the wood table I had was rocking like 60’s disco 😱😰
Great build man, good thorough steps. Excellent looking quality.
I guess u prefer T.I.G. over M.I.G.? I would've M.I.G. welded that steel tubing but that's my thing. I am a welder but TIG has never been my favorite process...
The only reason I TIG welded this is because I don't have a MIG welder ;) I started out with TIG because of bike stuff where you need the precision. MIG is faster for this kind of thing for sure, and more comfortable. I really need to get myself a MIG machine...
What is your soldering makeup?
I’m about to build a table myself I think I’m stealing you adjustable leg idea lol
Nice Build
Why did you choose TIG welding for this project as opposed to any other method?
Because I only have a TIG machine
