Welding Table with Clamp Holes

[Jordan Baker]

Lots of people make their own as a welding/ fabricating project. If you do searches on google or Pinterest there are a lot of how to projects.

My own table was given to me by a friend who’s dad made it about 50 years ago. It has a 4’x8’ plywood top but also a steel straight edge down one long side and one end. I added wheels to it so it was easy to move around. I also picked up from my local steal dealer a roughly 14” width of thick steel C channel. I clamp my stuff to this to get a nice surface for welding on. The size also makes it easy to move around and use the work table for other things. At one time I thought about adding a large metal plate to the work bench. However 6 years on I’ve never had a use for it and gotten by just fine.
