Like... if I needed a piece of mild steel for making a welding table..
and I
needed it maybe uhh... say 36" x 48" x 1" for the top.

**Bloody!**
That'd be some battleship of a welding table.

I'd like to see you carry it home.

Mine is 4 feet x 8 feet with a 3/8" plate top.

Only took 3 of us to get it out of the trailer and set up. Though I
did use my Simplex jack to lift the ends when leveling it.

Want a picture? Im rather proud of it...chuckle

Heck - why not? (I love dirty pictures!)

BTW - (just wondering) - how would you feel if I (or some other visitor)
struck an arc across your table? (hehehe)

Doesnt bother me a bit. In fact, I often tack weld metal down to it.
Makes for mighty rigid fixtureing when you stick the angles etc to the
bench top and then weld em up. Warpage is minimal.

I clean up the welded places with the ever popular 4.5" Horrible
Freight angle grinder.

Thats why you use a steel topped welding bench, isnt it?
