This was a huge undertaking and I wanted to thank everyone that helped. @TBJK @nugen @rlisbona @MTLmanglr and a few others I might have missed.
It all started with two sheets of plate that Randy and I bought off of Facebook marketplace back in the fall of last year.
The metal shop kindly purchased a magnetic drill press and an annular cutter for the hole drilling process. This took a few weeks in January of this year.
Next we had to acquire the materials for the base to hold the table top level and flat. Holes were drilled in the edge pieces to match the patterns on the top.
The bottom was then assembled and welded
Then adjustment tabs were added and the legs were cut and drilled by @nugen. Randy and I welded and mounted the legs and casters.
The table was then flipped over using the gantry. @FriendlyTitan helped me with that.
Since the piece was rusty, I used a soft wire brush to remove the rust without harming the steel.
At @TBJK put the final touches on it using a chamfer tool to chamfer the holes.
It is amazing what we can accomplish with some of these group projects. I look forwards to working with folks on other big projects in the future. If you would like to help with any of these bigger projects and learn a bit more about metalwork, please reach out to the folks on this list and/or attend the metal shop and machine shop committee meetings. We plan on building another one of these tables, it’s already mostly there but it needs assembly.
