Super Heavy Duty Welding Table with Large vase and Clamps, $400, Calgary, AB

351bfb60-dae9-498b-ad64-9b4f56476c8f
 
Rather paltry piece of 3/8 plate. Will have heat warping issues if anyone is using a rosebud nearby.
My welding table is 4 X 8 X 1" and that's Heavy Duty:p But mine has more clutter on it (sigh)
 
I helped a friend with some fab work at a shop near her, a while back. (Aluminum ostrich leg stilts for a busker, of all things)

I got to meet the owners of the shop later, but I already knew one of them a little from seeing his workbench. Massively heavy cast iron welding table, not huge, maybe 48” x 24” deep, but heavy. Blanchard ground, with two big LED panels over it, for excellent lighting. And a Miller Dynasty 700 sitting next to it.

I was so tremendously jealous, and also impressed.

Cast iron is the ultimate dream table, easy to clean the berries and does not warp.
