Yeah a nice one isnt cheap. Mine cost $1000.00 to build. It will out last me though. 1/2" plate top with 2x2"x1/4 legs and frame.
I started with this.

Here's mine. Top is only 3/16 plate but has alot of angle iron bracing underneath and holds up well. All the metal was stuff I bought at scrap prices and I already had the casters so I have less than $100 in it. I tacked some bolts to table to make a jig to get a tight bend to match my hood for cj. Once done knocked them off and grinder back smooth and you would never know they were there.

All of my tables have tons of random clutter. So...

My welding table ends up being the concrete floor in the garage.

Sorry for the lack of pictures. I'm hoping you can imagine welding on a concrete floor

The pic above is one of the rare occasions table is clean. I usually end up welding on the floor 8 out of 10 times also.

Not my welding table, but was designed real well. Its a jig table I bought from a guy I plan to use to build chassis on. Can use the same principle. Has 4 trailer jacks at the corners that go into receivers so they are removable and 6 legs with adjustable feet to level the table out.

Table at school. Can't fawk this one up. :lol:
 
I'm the guy with big dreams, a small budget, a mortgage, wife, two kids, 12 chickens, a pig, and two dogs. That being said my welding table ranks kinda low on priorities.

Over years I have collected a commercial solid core fire door that I later mounted to a 2x4 frame. Welded all over it with minimal burns. One day I got a HUGE sheet of 3/8 steel that I cut down and mounted to the top.

I'm on hiatus from working on stuff dammit! After several consecutive years of fighting the elements and building my turd on gravel w no roof, I prefer nothing to do!

Weld where you can and what is easy. It's the process that makes you better IMHO. A fancy welding table is cool, but its really the least important thing. It would be amazing if someone counted the hours I've spent in gravel shimming stuff up and stacking dimes.
