PROJECT: WELD TABLE
A welding table is a good choice for a first project since it will provide the foundation for many of your future welding projects.

The table shown here is 4’ x ‘6’ and 38” high. We built it strong enough to hold an engine block (rated up to 1,000 lbs) and big enough to still have room to work. You may choose to downsize a bit.

The tabletop overhangs the frame by 3” on 3 sides to allow room for clamping. On the grate side the tabletop should be flush with the frame to allow you to get closer to the work when you’re cutting. If you choose to modify the table dimensions, keep those considerations in mind and sketch things out prior to starting.
