my portable welding table.

I've been wanting to get some pics of this welding table I built. Now granted it's not a big old heavy duty thing, but it doesn't take up much floor space. I wanted a table about 2x3 but I didn't want to give up floor space to a dedicated welding table, so this is what I came up with.

This is the upright position. The top frame is made of angle iron and 2' x 3' in size with expanded metal as the top. The front of the frame is 1" sq tubing, with a piece of flat steel as a brace at the bottom.

Here's the back side. It a simple two wheel dolley from TSC. I wrapped and welded a piece of 1" flat stock around the dolley to support the hinge. the hinge itself is not more than a piece of round tubing with a round rod going through it. The hinge rod has a cotter pin on each end, so it can be removed and used a regular 2 wheeled cart.

Here's the storage position, doesn't take up much more room than the dolley itself. The front is separate from the top. If you notice the brace across the bottom is what the front rides on when you're storing or transporting the cart. A simple bungee cord holds it together while it's being stored.

Thanks guys, it does work pretty good. Since I only have a mig welder and not an arc welder, I don't have to wail on it to knock the slag off after the weld.
