Now that the basic frame is done and the feet are on, I can flip the table over to be right-side up. There's no way I could do this with the slats on, so I unscrewed all of them. I numbered the slats, so that whenever I put them back on, they'll be in the same location- just trying to avoid any alignment issues with the screw holes.




Here I'm reinforcing the welding of the trusses to the frame. My welds are looking a bit better- but every once in a while I really dog one of them up, usually cuz I'm being impatient and I don't want to reset my position. With the right amount of grinding and paint, nobody will ever know




I added some round tube around the perimeter, thinking that I'd be able to hang my clamps, grinders, whatever. Also welded down some sheet for the bottom shelf.






I also added a couple of "accessory tubes", so that I would have options on where to mount a vise, or other future tools.




Next up, primer and paint, a few more accessories, and final assembly.
