I know there are at least a couple cheap-assed tightwad packrats like me here, so figured this was the place to come for ideas.
I need (want...) something resembling an actual welding table, without breaking the bank. At the current prices of steel, I realize this may be an unreasonable expectation.
Things I'm looking for:
Steel top. Solid would work, perforated (for clamping) would be better. Cast would be the cat's ass. (Been watching Craigslist for derelict table saws with the cast extensions).
3 x 6 feet or so surface area. Big enough to work on, small enough to leave me room to move in the shop. Somewhat smaller is possible.
Heavy (for stability) but moveable (for convenience). Big-assed lockable casters come to mind.
If it's big enough, I'll probably mount a vise to one corner.
Ideas and pictures solicited.
