My welding table build project starts off with the most important part, the table top itself. In this video I go through great lengths to make the 5/8” 2”x 2” whole pattern as precise as possible using a mag drill and a drill jig. It was a great undertaking where mistakes were made and lessons were learned, but was it worth it? It was for me; you decide if this DIY welding table build is right for you or something that should be avoided.

Leave a comment and tell me what you think about this welding fixture table.
