Re: Frankentruck

Dad and I built the welding/work table today. It is 95% complete, but it is missing one key piece.

So far, we only had to buy the 4x4s for the legs, the locking casters, and a couple lag bolts. Everything else was sourced from various past projects that my dad had or had not completed. We built it to be around 36" high. Perfect height to stand at, and if I get a taller shop chair, I would easily be able to sit at it.

I know, most people would have built a welding table completely out of metal, but for the current type of welding that I am doing (patch panels on the truck) I decided to cut some costs by building the frame out of wood and putting a sheet of metal on top. I should be able to get the sheet metal tomorrow.

Oh yeah, we got it nice and level too
