Think I may sell this one I made soon. It dips about 3/8" in the center. For most it wouldnt matter but I need it dead nuts level.
1/2" plate top

Mine is horribly unlevel also. It's impossible to build anything flat on my garage floor.

That's Mr Asshole to you
That table looks nice and light weight. If this house does not sell for what we need I may be interested depending on length and how tall
Dips 3/8s? Dang - who welded that thing up? I'd give you scrap + $5. That is a bit more than I need right now but not by much.

That is some nice work!
I have a 10’ 2x12 in the floor of my garage I was trying to figure out what to do with it, and decided I need to build a workbench in the garage with it. Especially after Zech was over here last week, and we were working off a wobbly TV tray.

Definitely not light. I'd say it weighs around 1200 lbs. 4'x8'6"
Slats in it are so you can run a saw right through the center of the table

It warped after about 24 hours. It was dead nuts level when I built it. The 3" square tubing yielded with all that weight. I was trying to build the whole thing out of materials I already had. Mistake. The table is fine structurally, just sagged a bit.

You can probably straighten that table back out with a bit of work. I did a similar fix for a guy about 5 years ago. He had someone build him a fab table and it really didn't have any center support and it was 1/2" top plate. I added a pair of middle legs and some more gussets and it came out pretty damn level. I had to cut the top off and flip it over though to get it right... that was a super PITA.

I could fit it but I would probably come out ahead time wise and not too much money wise to just a build a new one. I can put a jack in the center, lift the entire thing off the ground, and it won't go all the way back flag. This table is a little tall for my liking also.

You can pay a hotshot driver to come get it, sure, lmao.
@TacoXpo tell you want - you pay my bar tab while I am there and chip in a little for drinks on the way home and I will bring it over to your house. Overnight guarantee.

I look forward to seeing you here. Did I mention Morning Glory is in a Dry County! yes but we need to meet at an undisclosed mountain location. Bring the booshi trailer.

I will load up at the last wet spot before I get there and bring a receipt. But I like the idea of getting a small group out to Morning Glory for some camping more.
TOR group buy of welding tables from @achirdo ?
