"...the man who really counts in the world is the doer, not the mere
critic-the man who actually does the work, even if roughly and imperfectly,
not the man who only talks or writes about how it ought to be done."

That looks pretty slick there. I think my next project will be to build a
larger and heavier frame for my hydraulic press. Then perhaps a table setup
similar to that. |

OK, I see. It's a _very_ open design. I guess the fence segments (gates?)
you make just exactly fit that spacing?
It looks painted. Does it conduct current at all or do you just clamp to
the work? Or do you just gas weld?
The simple idea of an angle iron frame seems like an elegant way to go.
Even if you added a lot more angle irons to make it a more closed design to
support smaller parts, the approach should still work well to make a very
strong table with lots of clamping options.

If you use roller stands, drill press, etc, make it at a height where you
can use them all together. Or roll one next to the other and have a
component thing. Like when you have a long tail hanging off something you
are drilling on or pressing.

I paint the tables mainly to keep them from rusting. As you can see, this
one needs spraying. I just spray it on pretty thick, and repaint it every
couple of years. I attach the ground to the work. Or to a clamp when I'm
sure it has cut through the paint.
With the spacing the way it is, you can make up just about any piece of
ornamental, except for really tall stuff. You can make a lot of spacers out
of flat bar so that whatever you are working on can be set right before
welding. This one is actually 1 1/2" x 1/4" and a little weaker than I
like. My first was 3" x 3/8" and weighed a few hundred pounds. On this
one, I have to put a screw jack support under a 4x4 underneath the middle if
I'm putting anything real heavy on it, or need it to be exactly flat, as
there is about 1/8" sway in ten feet on this.
One could make the spacing and boxing in any way they wanted, or even make
them moveable. I occasionally use a piece of paint lock flat sheeting when
I need to make a flat top if the weldment doesn't weigh too much. Getting
back to the basics. Available space and intended use.

I kinda do that with my radial arm saw and my table saw. They sit side by
side, and I use one to support stock I am cutting on the other. |
