Welding Tables

So 1/4 inch would be fine with some braces under it.

I would think so.

Thats what I did, I made a frame under it with 1x1 square tube

Messy as all get out in that picture but it has a 3' X 8' top that is 1/4" thick welded to a framework made from 3"x4" rectangle tubing. When I had the plate sheared I also had them cut a 6" wide strip and I welded that to the back of the table. Its nice for clamping things too, hanging tape measures, sticking magnets too, etc...

Chris, A back splash it a cool idea. It will also stop stuff from falling off the back side.

Harbor Freight is much cheaper on wheels than Northern is these days... Northern still has a bigger selection though so they do still get you there..

www.grizzly.com (power tools) sells some very good casters for good price, too.
