Nice tables people! Where were they found and how much did they cost? Interested in possibly purchasing more

We built those. Welded, painted and butchersblock counter top from Ikea.

Those would be extremely easy to build.

Thanks! I was very pleased with how they turned out ~ many thanks to all the members who volunteered to prepare the wood, weld the legs, and even finish painting the last one! :heart_eyes: :dms:

I don’t remember the exact cost of the butcher-board counter tops - just under $200 for each one. They were 6’ long, and the tables are 4’ long, so we ended up with “almost squares” that we were going to use as corner shelves; but, they never got made.

The steel for the bases (2" square for the legs, and 1" square for the top of the frame) did not cost 3D Fab anything - because they were “left overs” from the stock purchased for the “move in” (when we moved to the current space, and were going to build a bunch of new tables - most of which got built in time…). I have no idea how much the steel would cost. There are also adjustable ‘feet’ on them - which was also purchased as part of the move in new table funds… (There may be some of those left; but, I’m not 100% sure.)

The only other expenses was whatever the guys used to seal the table tops (again from the move in new table funds), and a few cans of white appliance spray paint (which we did actually pay for from 3D Fab funds; but, I don’t remember the exact cost. Under $6 per can, I imagine).

I know that doesn’t directly answer your question; but, it may help you find the cost better… ???

I used water based poly on those. There “should” be another 6’ peice in woodshop. We used to have two but no idea what happened to the other.

You might also ask around and see if any committee/group has taken ownership of the table that was removed from 3D fab a while back… I see it sort of float around. It “might” be available - though, I would definitely confirm first.

Digital media would like them if they’re not claimed by anyone else at this point.

I’m willing to assist in making more after the new year if we need them.

I will gladly help if we want to do a build day. I bet we could get one set up & welded in less than an hour.
