I got a couple of these from Harbor Freight to mount on my table legs and they are handy as heck to hold stuff. Table looks good.

I've also been eyeing a welder. I was just curious which one you bought and what your considerations were when picking one out.

Nice Table. The only thing I would add is weld a piece of 3" angle iron on one end and some hooks. We put the angle iron on all of our tables so we have a place to put all of our pipe when we cut so its not rolling on top of table

Thinking about doing this too. I just want to use the table a few times to see how I want it before I slap it on there.

Rather than painting it, powder coat it and be done.

Good point!

Hmm...might need to get some of those for my bigger, wooden table

I went with the Millermatic 211 mainly because it can be used on a 110 or 220 volt plug (I only have 110 currently at the house) and should be able to handle a wider range of metal thickness than I'll typically weld with a mig. I like that it can handle thicker metal if I need it to though. I could've gotten by with a cheaper/lesser version but I wanted the welder to be able to outperform me in the long run. I'm a firm believer of "buy once, cry once"
