Here is what happened today on this project! I love to build pieces like this to improve someones shop, and with it the quality of the work that will be produced for years to come. Nothing better then good tools and equipment!
-
First step today was welding all the mounting tabs for the MDF top to the frame. -
I flipped the frame over and put it on my roller stands for the time being. -
Using a step-bit to drill holes for some flange nuts to be welded into the legs. -
Here is one of the flange nuts inserted into the hole. It’s a perfect fit. -
The flangenuts are fused into the legs using my TIG welder. -
The setup to tack weld the top plates to the legs. -
A closeup! -
My spacer block comes in handy as a rest for my hands during welding. -
A closeup of the weld beads. -
Drilling the hole for the thread into the bottom plate of the legs. -
All the legs are welded and just set on top of the mounting plates for a visual at the end of the day.
