Welding table

[DRJDVM's '69]

I'm looking for something that can be moved easily since I'm in a limited space. I dont want anything that takes 4 people to move...

I want to be able to move it to different parts of my garage as needed to get it out of the way or to a good spot for the particular job.

If I had a dedicated shop, I would make something hard core, but I have 3 cars in my 3 car garage and need to be able to move stuff around as needed.

Pix would be great....

I built two tables like this and I use them for just about everything. One is tied up with a fabbed cradle on it right now and the other is a mobile work station.


You don't have to use H beams like I did but they do provide lots of clamping area and they are easy enough to drill through for bolting down equipment.
I add steel shelving as a work surface and I am looking for a heavy plate to use as a welding top.
The casters make them easy to roll around and, if you get some with brakes, it takes quite a bit to move them. I added leveling lugs on all four corners also. They are very stable with all of the lugs down and being able to level the surface is nice.

Mark nailed the answer I was going to give. A mobile station with rolling casters on the bottom. I understand your pain with limited space. I dont even have a welding table. I weld on the floor. Wonderful for the back.
I do have a medium size all stainless steel table I do minor welding on once in a while.

We just bought some 2" thick die plates that are about 36"X36" that we are going to make into one welding table. They will be overkill, but they have a bunch of drilled and tapped holes in them already and you could wear out a hammer on them. We're going to try to find some good lockable casters or something of the sort to move them as they weigh around 800lbs each!

Long story short - we got these at an auction of a closing business ($50 for both), you might look for similar items at local auctions.
