You certainly do have a nice collection of welders and your welding table is one I dream about. Is that a 1/2" thick top on your welding table?

Ed,

The top is 1/2" 4'x4' with a very heavy frame under it. For several years I used it with just the 4 legs welded to the 1/2" top but the plate wasn't flat so I took it apart and had the top straightened and then built a stout frame. It makes a big difference when setting up a project when the top is flat. I use it for alot more than just welding as it is my main work surface in the shop.
I figured I have about 50" of weld in the bench so far. Good practice as I am still learning the tig.
