At 150 bucks each I can't see spending that for maybe one or two tables a year. It doesn't really matter to me if the legs are perfectly square. As long as it doesn't wobble I'm ok and the bolts should take care of that. I need to get some caster for my bandsaw because it always seems to be in the way, so maybe I'll order a bunch and put the table on casters as well. For now though, the bolts will work and hopefully I don't have to move it too much. I was at harbor freight the other day to get those little 90 degree clamps and completely forgot to pick up magnets. I'll have to go back and get some next week.
Cut my gussets down to size. Used my bandsaw and just marked 45 degrees to cut by hand. Got close on most of them.
Everything all tacked together.
Switched to 3/32" gold tungsten, 3/32 general purpose filler, #7 cup, 95 amps on the torch switch. I went bigger because the gussets had some 1/8-1/4" gaps I had to fill. Didn't come out too bad.
I had all those left over 45 degree pieces from hacking out the gussets, so I rounded one corner on each and tacked them to the right side of the table. A one pound tube of filler fits perfectly in each one, for a total of 6 pounds of storage. I can always add more later if needed, but I doubt it.
On the other side I bent some more of that one inch flat stock I had laying around and will use it to hang the cables and torch on when not in use.
Thats about it. I'll post a few more pictures once I get it all in place. I sprayed it with a little coat of silver paint just to help prevent rust on the legs and underside. Left the top as a bare surface.
