Welding Table build 

@@jdogg5763 Thanks! It’s a work in progress. Get after it. Thanks for watching!

Thank you. All good recommendations for the table. Another thought I had was a shelf on the bottom frame to store some tools and other items. I agree with everything except the Ford comment!😉 In all honesty, I think we all have our brand of choice, but I do enjoy the friendly banter of diesel owners alike. Thanks for watching!

Thanks! I appreciate that. I just know In my case I enjoy talking trucks and watching trucks and listening to trucks, just manly things in general! 🇺🇸🔥⚡️

Had to GTS. Lol. Thanks for watching!

Thank you! It really is a nice size. Made me think about building myself one that size. Thanks for watching!

Thanks, having a good steel shop table is a necessity in my opinion. Thanks for watching!

Thank you! I feel very blessed to have it. I’ve wanted a new truck my whole life. Feels good when you accomplish one of those life long goals. Sounds like the majority would like to see the upgrades, so I guess I’ll leave them in. Thank you for watching!

You bet, I will put it on the list. Thanks for watching!

Thanks bro, I really appreciate that. Never had a new vehicle before. Pretty terrifying, but definitely nice. What do you drive?

@@Freedomfabrication777 I have a 2021 ram 3500 HO long bed Laramie. I’m a Cummins guy! I actually prefer the look of the fords or GM bodies but love the torque and simplicity of the inline six. Definitely not as peppie off the line as your truck! Then again I have the camera for the fifth wheel 😜

@@jordandredge8421 We all have our brand that we prefer, but to be honest, I just love diesels in general, and how they work, and how they sound, and what they’re capable of. That’s man stuff right there!

Thanks! I had never bought a new vehicle before, it was terrifying, but it sure is nice when you have to go get steel!

If that is an option for that truck it should be there

Thank you! I feel very blessed to have it. And I couldn’t agree more. It’s an essential tool. Thanks for watching!

You’re welcome!

Thanks brother, I’ll include more truck updates. Thanks for watching!

Sounds like the majority wants the truck upgrades put on the channel. I’m the same way, I’m always interested in how someone sets up their shop or their Rig, because everyone does it differently. Then I like to take and use the things that I like, and scrap what I don’t. Thanks for the feedback and for watching the channel!

Thank you, it’s fun to have a nice new tool like that, and make it exactly what you want. Thanks for watching!

Thank you. Yes, they are definitely a necessity. Sounds good, I will show the upgrades. Thanks again for watching, I appreciate it.

Lol, I was actually born in the GM family, just got lost for a while. It’s good to be back! I will show the mods as they come along. Thank for watching!

Steel prices are very high right now as well In the U.S. Cost for just material was about $900.

Thanks, Taiwan is a special place to me. Thanks for watching!

My table is 4’x12’ and it’s 1” plate. I do have 3”x 3” x 3/8” angle that runs between both legs lengthwise to help keep it from sagging. I do have some irregularities in my table. It’s not perfectly flat, but for most projects, it works good for me. I will probably get a fixture table someday, but for now it works. Thanks for watching!

Thanks, I mainly use Miller, I’ve just had the best luck with them. I have 9 machines: Trailblazer 325 EFI Syncrowave 250 Dynasty 300 XMT 350 Millermatic 255 Shopmaster 300 Maxstar 161 STL ArcCaptain MiG 200 Lincoln mig 125 I hardly ever use the Lincoln and the shopmaster. I do have one more on my list to set up for MIG aluminum. Thanks for watching!

@@Freedomfabrication777 I've been in welding fab work for over 25 yrs and love the Millers, done tons of tig with a syncrowave 250, on custom aluminum cabinets and race products, the Miller 350 p is great for doing aluminum with a spoolamatic xr pro gun.. Again great job on the videos and keep doing what you enjoy

@@davesoutdoorsnmore9049 That was the exact setup that I learned on. Good ol’ 350P. Thanks again for the encouragement, and thanks for watching!

Thank you, and thanks for watching!

That’s the truth. But you’d be amazed at the comments I’ve had about showing my truck as a tool. Thanks for watching!

well, their not very realistic. I'd like to see them do all the stuff we do with a car. If a truck isn't a tool than any type of transportation will get the job done right. Wrong! There's a tool for every job and a truck is just one of those tools. Some people just don't see their own ignorance. Keep up the good work that was a good video, and don't try to understand why the design trucks the way they do. I think they ruined the looks of the Chevy HD trucks the last good looking ones were the 2011 models, but that's just me, but what good is a step bumper when you need a step to get to the step?@@Freedomfabrication777

It’s Kobelco Familiarc DW-50 0.45

We share the same defect! And I won’t lie, I tend to nerd out when talking about trucks. I’m a truck guy. I love ‘em.

Thank you sir, I appreciate that, and thank you for watching!

Lol. Not exactly movie magic. I have a switch in the cab that releases the tailgate. You have to raise it by hand though. Sounds good, I’ll show the upgrades. Thanks for watching!

It’s actually spelled “sales”, and if you don’t think a truck is an extremely important part of fabrication, you probably haven’t been around it much. Thanks for watching!

It probably would be a waste of time, just due to the fact that the purpose of the welds is literally just to hold the table top in place, and keep it from sliding off. It really doesn’t require any structural integrity other than keeping it from sliding off. Not a bad idea, but not necessary. 😉 🇺🇸⚡️🔥

Thank you for your time and knowledge.

@@neilheriot2361I’m still learning as well. I appreciate you tuning in to the channel, it means a lot.

Powermax 85

It weighs about 700lbs., I don’t think weight is going to be an issue. Thanks for watching.

@@Freedomfabrication777 But still extra weight can't hurt, right?

@@MrPatrik246 That is true, more weight can’t hurt. To be honest, I’ve never put sand in any welding table that I’ve built, so I don’t really know what that would be like. might be interesting. Usually if I want more weight to it I just put a thicker table top on it. My Table has 1” plate on the top, and weighs about 2600 lb. I guess it all just depends on what you’re needs are with the table.

@@Freedomfabrication777 I was doing big work table for my shop, 5m(16 feet) long by 2.5m(8.2 feet) wide with six legs (100mm x 100mm x 5mm) and I packed sand in legs after few weeks because my friend recommended me to do it and I'm very glad that I did, the difference is crazy

@@MrPatrik246 that is interesting. I’ve never heard of it, but a good suggestion if you run in to situations where you do need more weight.👍🏻

@@jakobflyman7408 I made mine 38” tall, but I’m a tall guy. I would adjust the height to whatever gives you the most comfort.

That may be true. It’s not a problem anymore, but it was when the tool box wouldn’t fit. Oh well. Thanks for watching!

I have a couple fireball tools, and they are awesome! I’m hoping to buy some of their squares soon. Thanks for watching! 🤘🏻🇺🇸🔥⚡️

🇺🇸💥👊🏻⚡️

Can’t believe a welding channel is political. Trump 2024🇺🇸💥🍻

Just myself, and my two boys(15 & 11)help me when needed. Thanks for watching!

@@JackHammer-vk6jv 🤞🏻

Lol. Silly me, I like cheap fuel, a booming economy, and secure borders. Most definitely not like the stellar situation we are currently in. Thanks for watching!

⁠​⁠TRUMP 2024!!

Dropped on your head as child? It’s ok, the mentality challenged can live happy lives too!

@@silverbackag9790 Nice……Very noble and mature behavior to call someone “mentally challenged” because they don’t align with your political views. Very classy. Next time you don’t agree with someone’s views, maybe you could try keeping it to yourself instead of Insulting people. The fact that you and I can have different opinions but still vote for who we want is what makes this country great. This channel is for people who can share a common interest in Fabrication, and celebrate the freedoms that allow us to be whatever we want, with hard work and dedication. If you can’t focus on what this channel is really about, maybe you should find a nice knitting channel, or underwater basket weaving, something that gives you the warm fuzzies all the time, with a host that doesn’t expose any of their personal opinions or beliefs. More your style.

@@Freedomfabrication777yeah, the dude is trolling your ass on your own channel. Stand up for yourself. FFS. With that, I’m out.
