Table

[Fowler]

Just finished the top

It was a lot of small spot welding

welded he bottom and flipped it over to see the top

I wanted to use a crank and flywheel for the base but the only ones I have are in good shape so I don't want to destroy them

Need to think about the base more

That's a clever use for odds 'n ends parts. I like that, very creative. :clapping:

Thanks everyone!!

So how high should it be?

The only thing I have to go by here are table trays and some end tables

Got plans for another one in my head now

28 to 30 Inches......So split the difference 29 inches...

28 to 30 Inches......So split the difference 29 inches...

In the end it came out to be 24 1/2 lowest and 26 7/8 highest

I used a 1 inch bolt in the center to make it adjustable.

I should have bought a longer bolt to make it adjust higher. But it fits good next to my chair

All you have to do is turn the top to screw it up and down

I used VW Cylinders and a flywheel as a base.

Welding the Cyls was a pain. The top of the Cyls are thick, the bottoms are thin.

The thin part kept cracking as it cooled down.

Had to do a spot weld then lit it cool the do another and so on

I also added some rebar supports between the cyls

Darned nice work alright. Come to think of it, couldn't it be soldered too?

I assume so

I have done a bit of electrical soldering some pluming and some brazing but nothing to brag about.

Although I do not have what I consider the best setup I can weld, but it dose use up about 1lb spool of wire on each table (almost a spool)

The last one i made
