Default Weekend welding table project

I FINALLY got time to start my welding table this weekend. First project with my Miller 211... Still have more to do, but at least it is usable.

Was going to build completely from scratch, when a contractor told me about his industrial pallet shelving he wanted to sell, $50/ unit. Had to weld the upright legs to the base, but worked great!




A friend gave me a sheet of 3/8 diamond plate... my son cut it to size , 72" long x 33" deep. Also had him plasma cut the "X" in the left half of the top for clamps. Bought a set of 5"x2" casters (rated 1,000 lb each)from ebay



These pics show the clamps (bought at good 'ol Menards) in the slots...






Still have to mount a vise. (thinking strongly on a receiver to make it removable). Also want to add clamp storage, power strip, removable welding screen on back and both ends, etc.

.........................any other ideas?

ooooohhhh, Good point Jeff, I very rarely use a torch in this shop, but welding "clinkers" could be nasty on them as well. May have to watch for a deal on steel ones and use these on another project...

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
