Making a welded & bolted steel table frame
In an effort to replace my old built-in workbench with something nicer and more mobile, I set out to build a steel framed work table. In this video I walk through the design and fabrication of my welded and bolted steel table frame, and some of the issues I ran into along the way.

Nice job there young man.
Will have to check out your other videos.

Use the edge of the grinding disk to grind welds, not the flat part. If you use the flat part you are going to grind away good metal. If you stock is say 1/16th, you are in trouble. Not to mention it makes the area look worse.
Looking good
used your video for a presentation about welding and bolding pieces of furniture. hope you dont mind 🙂
Dont use a cutting disk for cleaning your weld or cleaning the egde of your tubbing, cutting disk can be easily broken, damages are fatal, but nice table
I love this project. I love having my furniture in the shop mobile. I also love welding. I need to consider a similar build as I am currently revamping my workshop/workspace. Many things are on hold until I decide what I need to toss, keep, where I want things to be kept on a permanent basis. Lots of work flow related issues I need to work through. Thanks for sharing this.
Great build and clever tips and tricks that made those tough bits easier, like aligning the caster plates. Only critique, wear a respirator! PPE is important kids.
Is it possible to make a table steel frame without using welding,just bolts? What are they saying here? "Assignment Brief:
You are required to design a steel structure which will be used to support a work surface.
The work surface should be 3.8m long by 1.5m wide.
This structure will be used in a lab or a workshop.
Do not include the surface in your drawings; only consider its dimensions when designing the structure.
Bolted fasteners are to be considered, you may not use permanent fasteners such as welding"
I've built a desktop based on your design. Thanks!
whether you use a 15 or 20 amp circuit makes no difference except that the 15 amp might trip once in a while. the welder will draw the same amount of current no matter which circuit you use.
