Welding table

[DRJDVM's '69]

I'm brand new to welding so as a first real project for my new welder, I was planning on building a welding/cutting table so I had a convienent place to do small welding and cutting jobs .

Currently my only work bench is wood so I really need a good place to be able to set metal down and weld it or cut it. So far, I'm using a makeshift "bench" with some cinder blocks and a small piece of metal. Its definitely not very user friendly.

In one of the welding books I looked at they had plans for a welding/cutting table. The rest of the book was worthless, so I didnt buy it.

What I was hoping for is for some "real world" or "this worked great for me" or "I wish I had built it this way instead" advice....

Nothing fancy, just practical....
