Project/MetalTable
Introduction[edit]
We've made a new metal table to provide more work area and storage for downstairs, it's 1800mm x 1000mm and made from a mix of spare steel that Ian had and some new steel ordered in from berkshire metals. Steve-R is led this project with extensive help from James-M and Pete-W. The desk is provides a proper permanent home for the TIG welder and Plasma Cutter as well as a large number of heavy-weight drawers for storing other tools.
The OpenSCAD file for the design is here.
Details of how the table is being used are kept here
Updates[edit]
- Grinding down the "checkers" on the checkerplate for the table top is almost complete Stever (talk) 09:14, 23 September 2018 (UTC)
- Grinding down the plate proved a problem, it's distorted far too much for use as a table top. Instead we'll use it for the lower support shelf and buy in a sheet of 5mm hot-rolled steel plate for the tabletop. Stever (talk) 12:38, 23 September 2018 (UTC)
- New metal for the tabletop has been ordered for delivery on the 19th Stever (talk) 10:06, 11 October 2018 (UTC)
- Phase 1 of the table construction is complete and the table is in place ready for use. Drawer construction will start in a few weeks. Stever (talk) 06:17, 29 October 2018 (UTC)
- All the metal for the new set of drawers has been cut, now needs to be de-burred and welded up. Stever (talk) 07:27, 1 December 2018 (UTC)
- Welding and fitting of drawers is complete. Next step is making/fitting cylinder retainer and angle-grinder bracket. Stever (talk) 17:34, 25 February 2019 (UTC)
- Cylinder restraint and angle grinder rack fitted, all handle holes redrilled and handles fitted Stever (talk) 06:57, 14 June 2019 (UTC)
- Drawers and frame are all primed and painted bar 1 drawer. Drawers refitted. Stever (talk) 10:43, 9 July 2019 (UTC)
- FINISHED!! Stever (talk) 15:06, 11 July 2019 (UTC)
