Welding Table build
Вставка
- Опубліковано 10 чер 2023
- In this one, we build a 48" x 48" welding table using 4" x 4" x .25" square tube for the legs, 2.5" x 2.5" x .25 square tube for the cross supports, and then 2" x 2" x .25 Angle to reinforce the table top and then used 3/8" plate for the table top. We built this for the maintenance department of one of our regular customers. We also review a very super cool tool!

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.
Great work! Let's see the updates on the truck!
Awesome build. Working on a fab table for parts. I’ll be definitely following your less great on top idea 👍🏼🇺🇸
Thanks, having a good steel shop table is a necessity in my opinion. Thanks for watching!
Just found the channel, luv the projects and channel. More truck vids please. Ty.
Thanks brother, I’ll include more truck updates. Thanks for watching!
Excellent size table to work off of too.
Nice truck Stuart!
Clean job and functional Welding table, not to big for a shop
Thank you! It really is a nice size. Made me think about building myself one that size. Thanks for watching!
Interested in truck setup and what you aim it towards (pipe,structural,general construction) always neat to see how different minds organize/setup their rigs for their specific needs and to help be efficient in the field. New subscriber badass channel you got goin !
Sounds like the majority wants the truck upgrades put on the channel. I’m the same way, I’m always interested in how someone sets up their shop or their Rig, because everyone does it differently. Then I like to take and use the things that I like, and scrap what I don’t. Thanks for the feedback and for watching the channel!
High quality and simple !
Congratulations on your new truck! I would love to see the upgrades and mods you do with it
Thank you! I feel very blessed to have it. I’ve wanted a new truck my whole life. Feels good when you accomplish one of those life long goals. Sounds like the majority would like to see the upgrades, so I guess I’ll leave them in. Thank you for watching!
Yes more on the truck. Congrats !
Thanks! I appreciate that. I just know In my case I enjoy talking trucks and watching trucks and listening to trucks, just manly things in general!
🇺🇸🔥⚡️
So happy for you on the new truck! When I ordered my truck it was important for me to have the bench seat with leather. Super cool tool!
Thanks bro, I really appreciate that. Never had a new vehicle before. Pretty terrifying, but definitely nice. What do you drive?
@@Freedomfabrication777 I have a 2021 ram 3500 HO long bed Laramie. I’m a Cummins guy! I actually prefer the look of the fords or GM bodies but love the torque and simplicity of the inline six. Definitely not as peppie off the line as your truck! Then again I have the camera for the fifth wheel 😜
@@jordandredge8421 We all have our brand that we prefer, but to be honest, I just love diesels in general, and how they work, and how they sound, and what they’re capable of. That’s man stuff right there!

Nice truck!
Thanks! I had never bought a new vehicle before, it was terrifying, but it sure is nice when you have to go get steel!
Came for a welding table video. Not a junk Chevy review.
Can you make a video on how you price your different types of jobs ?
You bet, I will put it on the list. Thanks for watching!
Nice truck. UAW FTW
Had to GTS. Lol. Thanks for watching!
Nice truck.
I don’t know for sure but I would guess that the wiring is already there. Some manufacturers run the same harnesses for all the different options that way they don’t have to have so many different harnesses
If that is an option for that truck it should be there
Nice
Id love to hear about the truck mods congratulations and welcome to the GM family
Lol, I was actually born in the GM family, just got lost for a while. It’s good to be back! I will show the mods as they come along. Thank for watching!
Nice job
Thank you, and thanks for watching!
Congrats on the new truck. I will never not have a truck. For what its worth, Im interested in any truck mods that you come up with.
Thank you. Yes, they are definitely a necessity. Sounds good, I will show the upgrades. Thanks again for watching, I appreciate it.
That’s some pretty eye candy there. Could not agree more that a truck is a working tool. Those that don’t agree, well, go polish your lug nuts. Grease those hitch and chain mounts as Stuart mentioned or as I found out the hard way you’ll never get them out!
Thank you, it’s fun to have a nice new tool like that, and make it exactly what you want. Thanks for watching!
how much did the steel cost for this table? steel prices in Canada are quite high right now!!!
Steel prices are very high right now as well In the U.S. Cost for just material was about $900.
A truck is essential. No way can you make money without one. It is a tool. And that is very nice!
Thank you! I feel very blessed to have it. And I couldn’t agree more. It’s an essential tool. Thanks for watching!
You’re welcome!
what wire are you using for dual shield if you don't mind saying.
It’s Kobelco Familiarc DW-50 0.45
I'm an account by day, but I'm also a landlord and a truck is a tool. I can't do the work on the rent houses If I can't haul supplies and tools. I can't bail hay if I can't move the tractor. I can't build a fence if I can't get the welder to the job site.
That’s the truth. But you’d be amazed at the comments I’ve had about showing my truck as a tool. 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 flags bro! Good to see Taiwan got the recognition.
Thanks, Taiwan is a special place to me. Thanks for watching!
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.
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!
Me personally, I can’t anything done w/o a truck! Genetic defect I guess 🤠
We share the same defect! And I won’t lie, I tend to nerd out when talking about trucks. I’m a truck guy. I love ‘em.
Enjoying watching your videos, just curious as to what weld machines you all got as looking like you've got several different ones
Thanks,
I mainly use Miller, I’ve just had the best luck with them. I have 9 machines:
Trailblazer 325 EFI
Syncrowave 250
Dynasty 300
XMT 350
Millermatic 255
Shopmaster 300
Maxstar 161 STL
ArcCaptain MiG 200
Lincoln mig 125
I hardly ever use the Lincoln and the shopmaster. I do have one more on my list to set up for MIG aluminum.
Thanks for watching!
@@Freedomfabrication777 I've been in welding fab work for over 25 yrs and love the Millers, done tons of tig with a syncrowave 250, on custom aluminum cabinets and race products, the Miller 350 p is great for doing aluminum with a spoolamatic xr pro gun..
Again great job on the videos and keep doing what you enjoy
@@davesoutdoorsnmore9049 That was the exact setup that I learned on. Good ol’ 350P. Thanks again for the encouragement, and thanks for watching!
Does that have an auto tailgate or was that movie magic when it went down at 12:18?? Definitely show the upgrades. I’m interested in seeing what you do.
Lol. Not exactly movie magic. I have a switch in the cab that releases the tailgate. You have to raise it by hand though. Sounds good, I’ll show the upgrades. Thanks for watching!
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?
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. 😉
🇺🇸⚡️🔥
Thank you for your time and knowledge.
@@neilheriot2361I’m still learning as well. I appreciate you tuning in to the channel, it means a lot.
Absolutely, show the mods!
good looking weld table there, bud. Nice
Thank you sir, I appreciate that, and thank you for watching!
When you jacked those legs apart did that not flex the top plate? Maybe next time grind the tack welds free and putno pressure on the plate.
As being a carpenter and construction guy trucks are very much a tool after all if your tools, equipment and materials and supplies are are not with you. You can't get nothing done
A truck is 100% a tool. There are more people who have trucks that dont use them then do lol..... so that rig is a tool just like my old shitty cummins is a tool for me lol
Which HyperTherm do you use?
Powermax 85
Honestly I would add some sand in legs to make it heavier and more rigid
It weighs about 700lbs., I don’t think weight is going to be an issue. Thanks for watching.
@@Freedomfabrication777 But still extra weight can't hurt, right?
@@MrPatrik246 That is true, more weight can’t hurt. To be honest, I’ve never put sand in any welding table that I’ve built, so I don’t really know what that would be like. might be interesting. Usually if I want more weight to it I just put a thicker table top on it. My Table has 1” plate on the top, and weighs about 2600 lb. I guess it all just depends on what you’re needs are with the table.
@@Freedomfabrication777 I was doing big work table for my shop, 5m(16 feet) long by 2.5m(8.2 feet) wide with six legs (100mm x 100mm x 5mm) and I packed sand in legs after few weeks because my friend recommended me to do it and I'm very glad that I did, the difference is crazy
@@MrPatrik246 that is interesting. I’ve never heard of it, but a good suggestion if you run in to situations where you do need more weight.👍🏻
Is this a fabrication video or a truck saels video???
It’s actually spelled “sales”, and if you don’t think a truck is an extremely important part of fabrication, you probably haven’t been around it much. Thanks for watching!
What height?
@@jakobflyman7408 I made mine 38” tall, but I’m a tall guy. I would adjust the height to whatever gives you the most comfort.
I'm sure the engineers had a better design for the DEF/bed situation, it was the accountants who made THAT decision.😑
That may be true. It’s not a problem anymore, but it was when the tool box wouldn’t fit. Oh well. Thanks for watching!
A truck is an absolute must tool, especially with the kind of work you do. Go Trump 2024 ! I sub'd after seeing that flag. Have you checked out Fireball tool ? Lots of great tools of the trade.
I have a couple fireball tools, and they are awesome! I’m hoping to buy some of their squares soon. Thanks for watching! 🤘🏻🇺🇸🔥⚡️
Who doesn't like greasy balls
Table YES. Old truck.... NO !!!
Do you have any employees or you just a one man show?
Just myself, and my two boys(15 & 11)help me when needed. Thanks for watching!
I once was blind but now I see. Trump 2024.
🇺🇸💥👊🏻⚡️
Can’t believe a welding channel is political. Trump 2024🇺🇸💥🍻
FJB. Trump 2024!!! 🍻
TRUMP 2024!
@@JackHammer-vk6jv 🤞🏻
what is with that silly trumpf flag on your wall?
Lol. Silly me, I like cheap fuel, a booming economy, and secure borders. Most definitely not like the stellar situation we are currently in. Thanks for watching!
TRUMP 2024!!
Dropped on your head as child? It’s ok, the mentality challenged can live happy lives too!
@@silverbackag9790 Nice……Very noble and mature behavior to call someone
“mentally challenged” because they don’t align with your political views. Very classy. Next time you don’t agree with someone’s views, maybe you could try keeping it to yourself instead of Insulting people. The fact that you and I can have different opinions but still vote for who we want is what makes this country great. This channel is for people who can share a common interest in Fabrication, and celebrate the freedoms that allow us to be whatever we want, with hard work and dedication. If you can’t focus on what this channel is really about, maybe you should find a nice knitting channel, or underwater basket weaving, something that gives you the warm fuzzies all the time, with a host that doesn’t expose any of their personal opinions or beliefs. More your style.
@@Freedomfabrication777yeah, the dude is trolling your ass on your own channel. Stand up for yourself. FFS. With that, I’m out.
