Few things I have Made over the years.

Some things I have made over the past few years.

Most of my work I put on Instagram End_Iron_ is my handle. Enjoy.

I like making stump buckets the most.

Very nice work, thanks for the pics, like to see what others are creating

[martyy]

That fixture table looks amazing!!! Would love to get my machine cutting that thick of a plate without destroying the plasma cutter tips. I attempted several circles as tests, but the height control on this old machine can't keep up (or I don't know the correct settings most likely)

You show lots of very creative work! Thanks for posting your photos. I once was thinking about making a fixturing table, but ended up getting a good deal on a pair of Rhino Carts with tooling. These are 30" x 40" tables with a grid of 5/8" holes into a 5/8" thick top plate. They roll around and can be joined together to create a larger work surface when needed.

Many of the fixture table builds I have seen have used magnetic drill presses to drill the grid of holes. If I had to do it, that's probably the route I would take. But I'm pretty sure I remember seeing a fixture table that Tom built where he cnc plasma cut the grid of holes and it worked very well.

David it was TJS that posted info on drilling a table top, I bought my small one and welded up a roll around base.

I like the stump buckets, what thickness of steel do you use for them? I need to build one for my yard!

Thank you I appreciate it. Thought it would be nice to share a little. I actually like this website and forum.

Oh that took some serious time. Its 3/8 plate and most of the time I cut 3/8 and above. I literally took a scrap 3/8 and just made a variation of holes and took a 5/8 bar stock as a testing piece. I bet you I punched 20 trying to make it "right" on the money.

That is boss. I want to get a 5x10 fixture table still that is blanched and perfect basically. I reached out to Kovosu and will buy one of theirs once I get some money in on the business. Really REALLY nice tables.

You can go into sheet cam and have it peck the grid with a plasma cutter to get the 2x2 spacing perfectly done and just mag it so you wont have to measure anything goofy.

Honestly laser cut is pretty nice or water jet.

I cut those out of 3/8 A572. I weld them with my ProPulse 300 with .045 Eutectic Dual Shield on 75/25 gas. I buy the backing plate and the teeth everything else I cut it and weld it up. PM me directly if you are interested in the files. I have a smaller one and a larger one. I made them in Fusion360. Id like to trade some files. Specifically looking for a root rake....which I can make but if someone has it handy thats always nice as well.

How about making the holes slots instead ?
Might take some pressure off of making "perfect" holes, and offer adjustability as well.

The slots would be fine if one were to use under table fastening claps (wingnut type etc). Which can be a pain. Most guys like the drop in style clamps that tighten up with only a round hole, as it wedges against the sides of the hole at any direction as it tightens. a slot would not work when the clamp is lined up parallel to a slot since the drop in pin would not have anything to wedge against. but would clamp 90 degrees the other direction. Slots would likely become a real PITR (pain in the rear) lol!! I would go with round holes. also laser vs mag Drill. Evolution makes a good and vey reasonably priced mag drill . And once it is bought it was always be around the shop vs. hiring out laser cut round holes. It might be about a wash on price, but the reward for DIY, is the drill. IMHO

Evolution 1-1/8" mag drill $505.00
Not too bad. I love their Evolution metal cutting chop saw (no not affiliated) lol~
Here the link to the drill.
I have never seen teh Mag Drill go on sale. At least when I have been on their site..
