Water table build.....

[Skiprat]

Got the table bent and welded together......not too keen on my welds as its the first time i have done stainless TIG.

Had a few test goes then straight into deep end........Should of had a few days practising but hey that,s me..

Welded the steel square ready for the straight pieces and lats but leaving that until another day....hopefully tomorrow.

Tried welding the holes in but that was a bit sh111tty too say the least so i will leave that bit until i have had a few more practises plus i need to watch a few videos as the settings i used were just the basic ones out of the manual and they kept burning through as seen in photo.

Well just been doing some research and when i think about it , the holes where already there and being used so why don't i just Blind PoP rivet them.....

Any thoughts on this please?

Slowly getting there..........needs some more slats but what i have will do for now.

Also slots need widening as i have to slightly hammer slats in and they are getting marked....just ordered some slightly thicker disc so we see had that goes.

Water table finished (done a while back but been busy on other bits, hence the late update). All riveted up and new slots cut. Only thing is i didn't get enough cut but don't think i will buy more unless i need them.
I'm not into business so probably only buy more if i need to cut a full sheet (unlikely at present.).Hopefully might make a few bob with one offs. Placed the original wood base for routing on top and you can also see the small "water table" which is what i do most of my cutting on.
Many thanks to all that helped. Just bought an air scribe so that's my next project.
Cheers Tommy.
