Build one.

So easy to make.

Depending on the thickness of material you welding and the type of work you do the size gets bigger.

Basicly take a 4X8 sheet of say 3/4" steel and 4 pieces of 6" pipe 36" long.

Works great. Thats what we use at the shop.

^ really, rip off a design from a good table (maybe include a screen too) or design one to meet your needs (even horseshoe or L shape maybe). heck sawhorses and sheetmetal can get the job done but I would custom design for the shop to allow for a smooth flow of work (LEAN training at work!)

I cant weld to save my **** but I think of it as art!

Don't know if I can weld that good yet, it would probably fall over and kill me

Get some one that could it's only 4 welds around 6" pipes. Would only take like 1/2 hr to weld if that.

Welding is actually pretty easy specially if using a mig welder don't have to worry about it sticking to the metal works pretty nice... However using arc is abit more of a pain since it can sometimes get stuck to the material your using... With the mig I just go side to side like left to righ half circular motions and just move at a decent speed not to fast and comes out good.. just do a few tests till you get the hang of it [img]smile.gif[/img]
