Steel Table on Caster Wheels Works Great For Welding Jobs
Joel Waldner, Lethbridge, Alberta: "We made shelves that keep steel tubing, rods, and angle iron neat and organized in our shop. A series of steel pipes runs from ceiling to floor with 16-in. long steel rods welded onto each side of the pipes.
"A 5 by 12-ft. steel table on caster wheels works great for welding jobs and saves on one's back. We used 2-in. sq. tubing to make the frame and welded a sheet of 3/16-in. thick steel on top.
"We make our own metal bolt bins to mount on the wall of our shop. They're 5 ft. high and 10 ft. long and there are 10 rows of bins. To make a bin, we bend a length of sheet metal 90 degrees in the middle to form an L-shaped trough. Then we weld on the sides and weld in triangle-shaped steel partitions every 5 in. These bins are built much sturdier than commercial bolt bins."
