"Carousel Shop Table"

"Carousel Shop Table" ENGINES Engines 31-2-38 It puts my shop tools right at my fingertips without having to do any walking," says Wess Cornelius, Winlock, Wash., who converted a round wooden kitchen table into a rotating shop table. He started with a 4-ft. dia. wooden table with a single leg leading down to a metal base. He cut the pipe off, then slipped another pipe of smaller diameter inside the cut-off pipe, Then he welded the smaller diameter pipe to the base of the table. He can raise the table to the elevation he wants by adjusting a collar that he mounted on the bottom pipe. "It's amazing how well it works," says Wess. "Sometimes I line up tools and parts around the entire perimeter of the table. That way I can stand in one place and work on multiple facets of a project. I lay something out, and as I need a tool or part I can grab hold of the table and bring the tool to me. I bolted a vise to the table because a vise comes in handy for many different projects.
