I used your design to build my own bench, albeit with slightly modified dimensions to suit my workshop. I also put castors on. Its a great, simple design. Thanks so much.
Nice work. Finally a video showing someone using a cold saw to fab one of these. Drives me crazy watching all these “fabricators” using only an angle grinder and hack saws to cut metal. You can’t beat the Evolution saw! I made my table a bit differently though. I used 6 pcs of 1/2 X 6 X 36 plates. Also 4 pieces 1/2 X 1 X 36 to go in between the 6 in plates. They are removable and this will allow for easy clamp access. This way I didn’t need to drill a bunch of .625 dia. holes for clamps. Amazon has some very nice adjustable clamps at a great price that are perfect for this! The plates are all height adjustable via 4 3/8 flat head bolts screwed in at each corner from the top. The holes are countersunk and taped. An adjusting nut and washer goes under the plate. The frame has clearance holes. When adjusted simply lock in place. Easier to fab and you can also replace sections if needed. I also fabricated the top frame without miters as I wanted the ends open to slide in a smaller tube. They become table extensions if needed. I enjoyed your video and nice work, good welds too. And I especially love the hot rod and motorcycle! No hot rod in my shop. Just 4 custom motorcycles 😂
You have some great ideas for a pretty versatile table, especially the sectioned top plates. My table is dead simple and built around commonly available parts. It's designed specifically for building motorcycle frames, chassis and suspension parts but f I had to build another table, I'd probably incorporate some of your ideas. Cheers!
Incredible amount of detail here... I've been looking at various DIY plans for something like this as I really want to build something for my home shop, and I'll 100% be using this video as my guide. Thank you so much!
Sweet I like that, but I will put casters on mine so I can move it around in my 40X60 shop. I’m having holes cut in one plate to be able to utilize clamps and I’m thinking on center brace weld another 11/2” or 2” tube to be able to mount a removable vice flush with table top! Thx for sharing
@@enopto Thanks, I'm basically done, took some of your ideas, came out really nice, just need to get the table itself on but it's VERY heavy😅ganna need like 4 or 5 people
Thanks Baggyarse! It's always a great idea to scale the table to your needs. For me, I needed a longer table to work on larger car/truck parts such as axles, trailing arms, motorcycle frames, etc. For a lot of people, the deciding factor for table size could simply be determined by the size table top available. For a modular shop, casters are a game changer. Cheers!
Nice job, but i took the caster off mine. Reason I got tired of it moving around when I had a Large project on it & I had it clamped to the table & had to push or pull on it for some reason. But Just me for I had a designated spot for the table & never move it. Everyone different. Good job.
Fantastic video. I will make this table and I really appreciate the detailed instructions and materials list! For a new welder using shielded arc stick welding would you recommend any specific rod size or types? Don’t have a mig welder yet.
Thank you, I appreciate the kind words. Unfortunately, I don't have enough experience with stick welders to be of much help with selecting the appropriate rod size/type. good luck with your project!
in the material list, you show 2 x 20", but it should be 3 x 20". this is a great video and very helpful. I was thinking of a 36" x 72", but it looks like 24" is a good size. Do you wish that you went 36" deep or some other size?
You're absolutely correct, good catch. I'll change the material list ASAP. 24" is a good size for my space and a heck of a lot cheaper to build. If this table were to be made 36" wide, it would require thicker base material and additional structural support to accommodate the increased weight. Thanks for the feedback!

Professionalism.....even for someone who is not a welder can easily learn how to weld just from this video
Appreciate the kind words.
Foot adjusters! Brilliant idea!
Thanks so much exactly what I've been looking for.
great video mate....thanks for sharing....cheers from Australia
Cheers!
I won't say it's easy, I think you make it look easy but "easy" is relative. Great tutorial!
Nice and simple table build. Great demonstration on how you work also.
Thank you, appreciate the kind words!
Nice job this world would be a better place without so many haters.
very nice work I'm thinking of making one myself thanks again.
Go for it!
Smart. Simple is always better.

What does diy mean? And who might be a 'diy'er? Smh.
Now all you need is a bunch of holes drilled in it. Great design and excellent video..
Great idea
Awesome ! Clean !
Goin to make one for my shop!

Thank you and good luck with your project!
This is an ideal workbench. Great job!!
Great video, editing, music, thank you for making this. Inspiring me as I start my welding hobby.
Thank you for providing all the info so that other people can also build one..your amazing. Thank you very much..
Thanks this gives me a great how-to! Thanks for taking the time!
Nice build. Table is of good size for most DIY projects around the house.
Thanks! it's been of great use in the garage.

Thanks mate, I got one fabricated exactly the same after watching this. nice job!
Awesome, glad to hear!!!
Love it! Exactly what I'm looking for. Thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
I loved your work. I have seen several work table videos and I just liked very much your proyect. Thanks for sharing enopto :)
Thank you very much!
Nice work!
Thanks!
Thanks for sharing. I love it😊😊😊
Great video thanks 😊
You’re welcome 😊
Wish I had all the tools to make this looks easy and fun
Start collecting tools one at a time. Used tools are great, half of mine were bought second hand for a greatly reduced price.
That turned out nice man!
Thanks 👍
Nice Job. Ill be definitely building one myself for my workshop
Nice work mate
Thanks 👍
Very nice
Thanks
Sweet I like that, but I will put casters on mine so I can move it around in my 40X60 shop. I’m having holes cut in one plate to be able to utilize clamps and I’m thinking on center brace weld another 11/2” or 2” tube to be able to mount a removable vice flush with table top! Thx for sharing

Is that a Moto Guzzi in background? Niiiice.
Sure is, good eye! Very custom big block SP 1000 converted to a spine frame.
Beautiful and simple awesomeness, thanks!
Glad you like it!
Nice work
Thank you! Cheers!
Thanks
I need to make a welding table this week and it's a BIG one, so just looking to get some structural ideas
Good luck!
@@enopto Thanks, I'm basically done, took some of your ideas, came out really nice, just need to get the table itself on but it's VERY heavy😅ganna need like 4 or 5 people
@@sovietred7371 Wow, that was a quick turnaround! Hope the table provides years of service.
Awesome build, thanks!
WELL DONE...
Thanks!
Awsome Dude.
Thanks for sharing and give out the excat the specifications. you are very good man!
Glad to help!
Brilliant video , food for thought, but probably half the size due to small workshop. I like the idea of putting the casters on.

Nice work 👍
Thank you! Cheers!
14:42 Ahhhh the wife... Where would we be without them?
Nice job!!👍👍
Thank you!
Nice table! I ended up with a 3/4” plate, so I didn’t need the frame underneath. Just had to weld on the legs. Otherwise very similar.
Right on
Guaranteed your table will sag without any support underneath the top, no matter how thick the top is.
One year later and still no sagging.
Nice job, but i took the caster off mine. Reason I got tired of it moving around when I had a
Large project on it & I had it clamped to the table & had to push or pull on it for some reason. But
Just me for I had a designated spot for the table & never move it. Everyone different. Good job.
Always nice when yah got the space for it to live permanently. Cheers!
Nice work! For your safety i suggest using gloves and safety goggles when grinding 👍
Good call!
The table can withstand vice brother
what blade you're using for cutting metal? It has less sparks
The Evolution carbide blade for steel/ferrous metals
Use a silver sharpie. It shows up much better.
Yes they do, along with gold. Sadly, all mine are dried out so I steal my wife's Sharpies.
Nice tip, no pun intended 🤣🤣🤣

go to the welding supply store or call them. theyll set you straight
I didn't get the leg part how did you install that place the ones on Amazon doesn't have the place you welded on the bottom of the legs
Thanks for the idea. If you don't mind, how much did it cost for just the metal?
About $280 with today's metal prices.
@@enopto dang, i tried getting a quote from couple different places and it comes to $1k.
QUESTION - has anyone treated their steel plate to protect it from rust? What products can we use.
1930 Model A Roadster? Nice.
Indeed, you’re correct!
in the material list, you show 2 x 20", but it should be 3 x 20".
this is a great video and very helpful. I was thinking of a 36" x 72", but it looks like 24" is a good size. Do you wish that you went 36" deep or some other size?

Why do you do a series of tax on the one corner joint?
Tax?
👍👍👍👍👍
What gauge is the top?
Where did you buy your materials to build the table?
I have links to the casters and some tools in the description. The metal was purchased from a local metal supply warehouse here in Denver.
What is the metal called?
Mild steel
Thanks!!
How much would that cost to build
Depending where you source metal, about $175ish
What model of welder are you using?
Lincoln Weld-pak 3200HD
Great table and work sir, just copied the material list thx.
Awesome, thank you!
Soundtrack title?
All licensed stock music from MotionArray.com. Not sure of the titles
@@enopto thank you
Really enjoyed your video. Made a table exactly like yours. Sure would like to know the background music. Thanks so much!
If you'd bought a table you would not have needed to work on the floor.
Buy a man eat fish, he day, teach fish man, to a lifetime
I love the smell of zinc poisoning in the morning. It smells like...... Stupidity
Good thing I'm welding galvanized steel, am not in a positive pressurized environment, or don't have natural air ventilation per OSHA guidelines. SaRcAStiFont activated
That's a weird way to make table base
Works a treat!
