A good friend and client of mine has admired my homemade welding table ever since he has come to visit my shop. He ordered a smaller version of it last week, and after discussing all the details, I ordered material to get things started. The fixture plate is ordered and should be ready within the next two weeks. I started working on the legs, and here are some pictures of the process!
