I put a flywheel and pressure plate on it and squashed it so I need to get some 3/4" square tubing to make it more sturdy.

I feel you. That was my reason not to get the HB weld table. it is not real sturdy.

I was thinking about that using the 3/8" plate you can see in the finished pic.

Amazing isn't it? My plant is still small enough that asking the right people can get stuff done. Especially if you share.

I check several time a week. Our TIG weld area is next to the scrap area so I have a easy reason to look. And only 3 of us are allowed to use the TIG welder and area so I can hide stuff. The MIG welder is for the maintenance guy. It is outside the TIG area. We do share the Oxy torch.
