I think I may have made my wife somewhat happy as I bought a fairly inexpensive welding table from HF ( http://www.harborfreight.com/adjustable ... .html ) that does store fairly well. I have been using my small fold up tables, the ones that wood workers use and the tops are pretty crisp. The wife is afraid I am going to set the garage on fire.The other day maybe two months ago I saw the table advertised in a mailing from HF; The price wasn't too bad compared to the metal cost for me to make my own (I have priced it out a couple of times) and this one was fairly storable. The table has a zinc coated top and is supposed to hold up to 350#s but I am not going to try the limit by sitting on it either.The table is roughly 20' X 30', weighs 39#s and the top, when flat is almost 33' off the floor. the table top tilts and as some side pieces that can go up or down and can be moved from one edge to another. The top also can be tipped to 90° from the floor for storage.This shows the two side pieces up. They can be moved from one side to another very quickly.The table tipped.The table in a 90° position relative to the floor.(rant) the illustrations for assembly are not all that bad but could be better but part identification in the illustrations and the Bill of materials sucks big time' to the point if irritation to the max!!! The ISO on find numbers is very clear on this: instead of using a circle with a number in it they use a descriptor than the find number in brackets which means reverence. They got it turned around.Also, and this is the most irritation part: if they called out a nut with a quantity they don't differentiate between the locking version of the nut and the non-locking version of the nut with different find numbers (and true quantity of each) so show which is used where Grrrr). You can figure it out I guess but it sure costs you time when doing it. When doing kits we always gave 10 or one extra of each for just in case. They have fasteners and washers that are left over at the end which are not even identified in the BOM.One old timey thing then did is when the dimpled the top for flush fit screws (CSK) they used some larger dia washers to make of for the dimple so you could have a flush fit on the tilt bracket; the washers were not (clearly) identified separately on the pix or in the BOM other than the washer went between the tilt bracket and the top. Also, the locking washers for the tilt was not even identified clearly in my opinion; I think they assumed you would know what and how to install them/intuitively I guess and today was not my intuitive day. I didn't tighten any of the locking fasteners up until everything was together which did save me some heartache. I would never have signed off on this if it had come by my desk!Anyway, for what it is worth I got a welding table of some sort.Lee
