Made myself a beautiful welding table (Video)

[Tilly819]

Hi all,

Here is a video of my latest workshop project. Built myself a lovely little, well not that little 1.2mx0.6m, welding table.

Top is 25mm think steel plate with m10 holes on 100mm centres for clamping and fixtures.


Hope you enjoy watching it as much as I enjoyed making it.

Cheers,

Tilly

Look forward to watching that properly with a cold one (or two...) in hand this evening once 'Project Management' is out!

I think a video of you moving the table top around would be interesting too.

There was some footage but It didn't come out all that well. Plus I think I would need to censor most of it haha.

Nice video.
Well filmed, well presented, informative and fun.

That’s a great little video with some really good content. Well shot and entertaining
I particularly liked the way you drilled out those hoses with the top half of the drill press. Nicely done.
Gotta ask though.............. welding in a bow tie?????? Really??????

Yep, It's the done thing don't you know. Keeps your collar closed and stops the top of your chest getting sun burn from the UV, Safety first

Ha ha quality.
Is it a fire retardant bow tie on the subject of safety first

Would you by any chance be inspired by Colin Furze ?

I do enjoy Mr Furze's videos and thoroughly agree with his most outstanding choice of workshop attire. However, I would not say that was my inspiration for the bow tie. It is a thoroughly underrated item of clothing.
I had a few brainstorming sessions with friends before launching the channel to come up with unique selling points and brand identity ideas. The consensus was to play to my strengths; Which translates to keep being a bit of an eccentric weirdo (aka engineer), and have something different that makes me stand out - and the bow tie idea was born.....Alcohol may also have been involved...
Hope you enjoyed the video.

I watched it earlier this evening in on The Big Telly and enjoyed it! It's all too easy to draw a comparison to other YouTube names; I suspect that there's probably a statistical reason for that as folk (like us) that make stuff like that probably subscribe to and therefore end up watching more stuff like that - if you catch my drift.

(If I might make one constructive comment it would be that the fine blue border didn't add anything, it wasn't in harmony - I found it a bit of a distraction and slightly off-putting..?)

Happy to have added to your subscribers and look forward to the next!

Good video, but you need bow ties for your arms.......

Thank you so much for subscribing!
I really do appreciate your constructive criticism; Without it I would not know what needs to be improved. I did have my doubts about the border, so thank you for confirming my suspicion
I think you are right regarding drawing comparisons between creators. When you get down into a niche be it in content creation, industry or even academia everything is very similar. Trying to find a unique angle to work nowadays is getting more challenging. I am expecting the channel to evolve quite a bit over the first 12 months as I get more comfortable in front of the camera and better at the setup, recording and editing etc.

Thanks again

Great video

 

[Wightsparks]

Very good. Not too jokey/over the top but still fun and informative. - Also well edited so it moved right along.
Though I was slightly disappointed it went from - "just going to flip this top over" to "here we are"

 

[dan treg]

that was nicely made and filmed good balance of process and talking

Very enjoyable video _ I look forward to seeing some more !
