Frame Tables

[mitch_04]

Just curious what everyone is using to build their frame tables. Size and thickness of material, grid layout, etc etc. I'm not able to make progress on projects right now so I figured I'd do some design work for the future!

The best frame fixture I have seen is an OTC setup. IT was just (4) W10x12 H-beams that were adjustable in/out in both directions. It was super rigid and on casters which made it easy to move around. For intermediate beams and supports there were just moveable plates.

I'm really curious to what size people are making them. The first frame I'm going to be building is for a 1931 Model A Tudor Sedan, not a very big car compared to my '85 C10 that may or may not get a new frame later on. I'd like to build 1 table that will work for most all size of vehicles instead of trying to add on to an old one or building 2.
