Ultra Heavy-Duty Rolling Work Table
 ✖  |
Clair Wilson has been salvaging and collecting parts and equipment from all kinds of places for a long time. When he first found a 22 by 5 1/2-ft. slab of steel that's 1/2 in. thick at a burned down factory, he had no idea what he would do with it. But after a bit of head scratching, he turned it into a heavy-duty rolling worktable with built-in outlets.
"I use the table to hold and support large pieces of steel while working on supports, gates, tresses and the like," says Wilson. He added 5 electrical outlets on each side so that no matter which part of the table he is working on, he wouldn't have to run a long extension cord.
Wilson has no idea how much it weighs but he attached a pair of salvaged truck wheels to one end in order to move it around. A tractor loader or heavy-duty skid steer can pick up the other end to push or pull the table from one location to another. When working in one place for an extended period of time the wheels can be removed, axle and all, for increased stability.
