    Looks good!!! So how did you bend the corners? Looks like you made some sort of bender with the vises, but then again you could just be holding them down ;)

    See the hammers on the table behind the clamps - those are the benders! :)

    do you have a picture of that welding table there? It looks tall and skinny. i could use something liek that to fit uner one of my counters. Is it top heavy? What did you make it out of?

    Battery hold down is a work of art...;)

    On the console - all the things sticking out...are those some type of clamp?

    I see by the pics that you're one of those guys that the neighbors can tell every time you start a new project. R) Don't worry, you're in good company!

    The console looks waaaaaay better than my "ammo cansole", and that battery hold down idea will be pilfered, possibly today. :D

    Looks gud!

    I didn't make this table - it was a leftover from a construction project and the welder left it behind. I'll get a better pic of it this afternoon. 1/4" plate top with 2" angle supports underneath. 2 3/8" pipe legs and 1/4" x 3" strap spreaders. Footprint is 24 x 32 with top being 16" x 32" x 34" tall. It's a little top heavy, but a fairly good utility table. I'd really like one with heavier top, possibly 3/8 or 1/2 plate - maybe some day. The other table (pics to follow) is one I built about 30 yrs ago when I was learning to weld. It's stout but needs a better overhang to clamp things to.

    I think you're too ambitious and have too much time on your hands Don, you're making the rest of us look bad! I think you need some cold weather down there to slow you down some.

    Just kidding, of course. You're a man after my own heart, I have the utmost respect for do-it-yourselfers with quality fabricating skills!!! Much better to build it than buy it.

    Ron - thanks, though maybe a better description might be "more time than money" R)
    P.S. - keep the cold weather up there! :)
