Welding table picture thread

[SweetMK]

Thanks Shootr. The “spokes” bug me. They would look better if the were all aligned to the center of the column but then the load bearing area looked too small.

It will look better when he runs the chain between the 4 sprockets,, then motorizes it,,

Holes for the table today. Twelve 5/8"D on 6" centers and one square hole for 2" receiver material

You worry too much. I'd paint it Lincoln red and call it a day.

2nd thought.... that candy purple to match your new table...I do like the upright receiver though...Ohhh.... I like that file handle too... nice work!

Between my farmer buddies and me, I think we found a match for your spoked wheel. It's a gauge wheel from a horse drawn Cockshutt plow (somebody improved the colors on this one...) ... it is an old one.

Good sleuthing. Maybe a gauge wheel for a big one way disc ?

Maybe some regions call them a disc plow. Anyhow an offset disc with only one gang.

Discs would have been later... by the time you started adding more horsepower and tillage, the wheel designs started changing to compensate for the higher demands. That's what threw me off with yours... the center reminds me of a large auger pulley more than a wheel. A lot of the later wheels would have heavier rims, weights added and often a solid center rather than spokes, or more round spokes. I know the spokes on that one aren't an exact match, but I think it's a later version of a very similar machine rather than a heavier machine.

However... I have been wrong before...this one also looks very close but it was a Chattanooga plow manufactured in the US, unless Cockshutt made a similar version up here. The Chattanooga was bought out by IHC. Apparently you could flip from one disc to the other for going back and forth on the field.

This is what I was talking about with the heavier wheels on the later machines....

Those wheels look similar in type. I think you are right. The ridged wheel was designed to be directional.

I kept looking at it as a clod buster or (oversized) press wheel
for a seed drill

Still... I think it puts you back into the late 1800's, early 1900's.... interesting piece of history in your new table...

[Lis2323]

I cut up a piece of 1/2" plate for a shelf ...



Rolled up some 1/4"x2" flat bar for the edge

You sure do some sexy work!

[arcflash]

With all those sprockets on there you should be able to do 5 axis hammering!

That is one wicked table.

Not as heavy as I thought.

250 is no slouch... with that wide base that will be good and sturdy. Looks right at home.

[whtbaron]

Is this a car... or is it really a mobile fixture table??

[Lis2323]

Haha. For complex curves.
