Fabrication Table

I'm a new guy here. Looks like I'll have a lot of catching up to do with this thread.

I'll toss my hat in the ring here...

This is a link to our YouTube channel which has a couple videos of a fabrication/welding table I've been working on. Hopefully the weather will hold out so I can get some updates video'd in the next couple days.

nice projects.

[Daniel]

Smoking, you make sure you keep us posted with the pipe bender. If you have a good place to get the dies let us know.
Nice table and a good idea with the holes.

Thanks guys.

The bender is from the plans at http://gottrikes.com/

Since the material I had available was 4x2x1/4 rather than square tubing I had to make some modifications in AutoCAD to keep the relationships correct. But Frank's plans are really excellent and it isn't really a difficult project if you have experience with fabricating assemblies.

I haven't purchased the dies yet but Pro-Tools is the source recommended. But they are a little pricey so I'm going to keep an eye out for dies while I finish the frame. The air/hydraulic cylinder is from Harbor Freight and current price is $89.99.

Thanks all for looking.

Another Trailer

I learn a lot from this forum getting ideas and seeing how the others do stuff.. Since this topic was about recent projects, I thought I would share. Here is a 5x10 trailer with gate I built a couple of weeks ago. I need to start taking pictures of the stages of the build instead of just the finished product, sorry

[SmokinPRanch]

Nice work.

Pass-an-gas. Very nice truck bed there budy. I can see why you want it made out of Aluminium, need as light as possible pulling that kind of trailer.
