I found a 24"x48" 1" square tube table frame being tossed out. By luck I have a piece of sheet metal the exact same size. I decided to use it as my welding table. The table is 30" tall. It's a bit too short for me to work comfortably.
I found some perforated square tubing (1 1/4") at the big box store. I drilled some holes in the table frame and bolted the square tubing to it. The table is a wobbly b/c the ID of the 1 1/4" is roughly 1.07 and the OD of the 1" square tube is 1.03. Newbie mistake.
Can I eliminate the wobble by welding the perforated tubing to the square tube?
I figure I'll play around with the table height until I get it to comfortable height. And then weld it all up.
What height do you guys run your tables at? Right now I'm running it at 39" and I'm 5'9". It might be too tall when the work piece gets too large.
