So I got my Sync 200 back in june and only have a few hours with it. Too busy with school and stuff. Only thing I built was a downpipe and some charge piping for my civic turbo project.

I recently found a nice 3/4" thick piece of steel at a local yard for $50 (3/4" x 4.5ft x 3.5 ft)
I used some 2.5" round pipe I had lying around for the legs, and braced them with 1" square.

Here are some pics when I first got it, then I finished it up today.

Just waiting on some friends to help me flip it over, then I can wire wheel the top and start welding away!

I would put cross braces on the legs. That is a big table to risk falling when you dump something heavy on it.

You should have put the legs and braces back under the table aways so they wouldn't get in the way of clamping things down. I made the same mistake on mine.

I figured the triangles would support the legs enough if the table happens to shift, which I doubt it will because I don't plan on putting that much weight on it.

And with the size of the table, I think I have enough room to clamp around the spaces where there are no legs/support bars....
