Building a 7,000lb Welding Table (youtu.be)

Today we're putting together a massive and very flat 7,000 pound welding table on a budget with some heavy duty supports to replace the less-than-ideal table I've been using to weld. We're going to put some of my favorite tools to use in the process, like my HYDMECH band saw and the beautiful American Pacemaker and Clausing Colchester lathes, so come along and enjoy the ride with us.

Dude has $500 in just casters. $600 build my greasy, salty asshole. Even sourcing the cnc bed basically for free you're still lookin at an easy $3k even trying to pick up material for scrap price. Throw in the bed and this is easy $10k new. You can get 2 good cast platen tables with support for that money.
