You did an excellent job, the accessories and their flexibility is not an easy thing to design be proud of yourself. I can’t believe how little you are charging.
Hey big thanks! It,s not easy to put a price tag on something like this, I prefered have itmore affordable, so even the guy that wants a 2'x2' table will not break his bank!
seeing this, there is no excuse to fab shop professionally on a bent 4x8 with some wood clamps! Great effort Viny!
Thanks 👍
Fantastic video and product. Thanks for making this available.
my pleisure
Love your work and the quality! Thanks 👍💪✌
Much appreciated!
Lol, I was a senior Engineer for Bystronic. I've built and designed quite a few fixture tables. Nothing will beat a cast iron table.
The resistance to spatter and the way it disperses heat and remains flat is that much of an advantage huh?
I love this channel already
Hey thanks Don!👍
love the videos you're putting out!
Hey thanks buddy!👍
Love your videos. Just a guy in a shop building useful items. Thanks for the inspiration Viny
@@yoti-fab Glad you like it
Looks like an awesome table, fair price on the plans, I'll definitely be shopping here when I get the space for a table!
Nice! 👌
Im only 3 mins into the video , and this is already the best ideas Ive seen , well done.
Well is not 100% my idea...others had made this kinda of tables...but the accesories is 100% mine, with the blocks, pins and clamps!
@@VinyB57 the test jig is the outstanding part , so you actually get what you expect ,,
@@tomthompson7400 Yes, since I can t garantee the accuracy of any laser supplier in the world...you need to do that test part to get the right fit, you re looking for!!
Keep up the amazing work
Hey thanks! Sure will! 👍
Really cool design process and amazing puns, insta sub!
Very well designed... and assembled! My wife does not compare... she only makes me feel cheap! Merci et à la prochaine!
I prefer beeb compaured then feeling cheap 😅
Editing is top notch !!
Hey thanks man!
I was wondering what you have been up to lately…. I am (a lot) jealous ! Good job !
Merci mon chum! Va falloir que je prenne 5 min pourte jaser ça! j'ai été (clissement) occupé le mois passé! 🤦♂️ (avec la table....ben les 108 en réalité) Ca ma pris 12.5hr faire les dxf des 108 tables...j'ai fait cette semaine, par les soirs...(ou nuit)
You motivate me ❤
Glad I did!! 👍😁
I wish I had a table like that! Maybe someday.
for sure worth the follow
Thanks Claudio!
Great video man 💯 👍
Hey thanks man
Viny, you have a lot of time involved in this project. I wish you the best luck on your adventures. You deserve it. Excellent job with the editing. This is one of the best DIY projects I have seen in a long time. Watch them phalanges and be safe. Cheer's🍷
Hey big thanks Robert! Oh yes, a lot of time was involved in this one...and still!! I spend the entire week end in the shop, working on and with the table!!! It s really a incredable piece of equipment! 🤯 Thanks for you kind comment!:👍👌
You're now my favorite francophone youtuber. That puts the other one in second place :D.
Ok thanks...I guess! 😅
Good job bro, you got a new subscriber, smiling the hole way through,and the little woman 😂kept asking what I was grinin about, though I was watching sumthin else lol
😂 Glad you enjoyed it and welcome aboard
Wow.. Super! J'ajoute ca a ma whish/todo list. un jour surement!
Oui, ca t en prend une! 👍
Absolutely amazing! Those are some great tolerances regardless of the type of work you do! Anything better and the price tag would probably triple.
Im 100% with you ! 👍
Nice job.
Hey thanks
Great job
thanks!
You could always rig up some linear rails on the side and build a 'flattening jig' to get it near perfect. Awesome project, really enjoyed watching
Glad you liked it!
C’est malade ta table ! J’ai hate de voir d’autres projet 👍🏾
Oh yes! On va la voir dans tous mes prochains projets! 🤩
I'm glad I found your channel. 😂 you had me laughing from your jokes.
Yes!!! I did it! 👍 I made someone laugh! Glad you enjoyed!
Реально КРУТОЙ ЧУВАК!!УВАЖАЮ !
Beau travail Vincent. Je suis entrain de fabriquer la mienne tu ma donné des idées de fixture 😉
Merci mon Ti-Gui! content que j ai pus te donner des idees
Fucking BRAVO, Viny ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! Nicely done. You're right... it's not a Fireball table, but it also costs a tenth as much. For most of us hobby fab guys, this table is more than capable. I own several Fireball squares and they are top notch, totally worth the price, but I still do my work on a 40 year old fixture table I bought at an auction 15 years ago. It's not perfect, but it's flat enough for my needs. Great job pal.
Hey thanks buddy! Glad you appreciated my design and video! 👍
great video and product! if i had a big enough workshop id definitively look into getting your plans. also, might be a good idea to change the battery in your smoke detector with all that welding you do. Just in case. One never knows what can happen.
For real what smoke detector?! 🤷♂️ I don t have one in my shop...too much smoke!! Think about a small 2x2 has a start...if you don t have a big shop!
@@VinyB57my bad, sorry. Could swear i heard a smoke detector beeping in a fair few shots in your video. apologies. A 2x2 table would be nice. but even that's to big for my "workshop" (firewood shed) unfortunately. all floor-space i have is about 3x3 meters if i'm being generous, and most of that is taken up by other stuff.
Probably obvious to most viewers, but just for the newbies: watch out for the coating on those clamps, vise-grips, etc... it can be really nasty to breathe. Best to grind it off in the weld zone before welding.
The cure for galvanize poisoning is lactic acid. When working with galvanized, a glass of milk or a plain white yogurt keeps you out of the doctor's office.
Fantastic!!!
Thanks buddy! Let me know when you need the plans..😉 I'll give a copy to Austin!
@@VinyB57 will do. I know Austin is planning on building one. There’s a place near by that has a kinetics (I think that’s what it’s called) that can drill cnc along with plasma or laser. I’m not sure the tolerances of it, but I imagine it wouldn’t be too bad.
Thank you a lot from the EU folks for metric one!!
One day we all have the same system...Imperial!!! 😅 Not! Can wait we all are metric! Its doubling the amount of work I need to put in the same design!
Not knowing the prices of alternatives i do know that for 1500 usd that is a lot of tool. And i agree with your reasoning about who this table is for vs. the competitors. Great build and narration!
Thanks...I paided mine, just the table, 975, amd I found similar products to be around 4k$ for the laser plates ...plus shipping! 🤯
Thank you!! I've been fumbling through Fusion, but I am *far* from capable of something like this.
Dude, the amount of time it took me to fine tune de design! It's in weeks! 🤯 (ok...it's a lot of tables...108 ..🤦♂️)
@@VinyB57Yeah. I'm floored at the thoroughness. It's incredible! I wish I could do 108 designs in weeks. LOL. Trying to source a local laser cutter as SCS has a max size of 44x30.
@@VinyB57Got my test piece back from SendCutSend yesterday. Now, where did I put that rod?
I wish you all best in world ,stay strong
thank you
Viny your wife is not the only one, my wife looks at my projects and expense as vacation trips, new car, cloths, TV etc. I hear it all the time. Especially when I buy tools. Especially tools. Yup its definitely the tools. And materials as well LOL. Funny, she wants a new kitchen and I was thinking more inline a row of pop and vending machines, much more practical and convenient. Na, she wont go for that, I'm best not to even suggest it. 🤐
Yes you better 🤐 🤣
Bridgeport Series 1 2J2 could have been a week in Whistler. I haven't even started the rebuild.
My friends wife invites me along to their twice a year vacations to mexico resorts. I ask how much? She says about $3000. I say hello no, i could buy a shitty used car for 3k!!! Hahaha
3k$ per person?
@@VinyB57yeah! Its nutty
What makes me happy is that there is (OK very fare away over the ocean) someone as crazy as I am. Love you projects an videos. AND, no, considering your wife concerns about you investments, you are not alone. We are at least 2. But, who cares?
100% with you, I do like how my wife conpare EVERYTHING with vacation trips! Even the internet bills !😅 It very entertaining! 😁
One recomendation. You had your parts cut from hot rolled plate. There exist a plate specialy for laser cutting. It is heat treated and won't warp nearly as much.
Ah! Pretty sure my little local supplier didn't have that, do you know how much more it is?
Hey I've been to Dickville no laser cutting machines in that town
What! But I did found one! 🤣
I’m buying plans and building one for sure!!! Nice
Great news ! 👍
lol, this is why my wife and I don't pool our income. We figure out our bills and how much we'd like to save for trips, then divide that based on our relative incomes. Every dime we make over that is our own to do with as we please. If I want tools, I don't have to ask. If she wants clothing an jewelry, she doesn't have to ask. It's awesome.
I agree with and we don t have a money pool either. But since we maried, was is mine is hers ..I guess...but I have a great wife and she never bug me with my purchases...except that little trip comparaison, which I find quite funny!
Here for the table, subbed for the comedy
glad you liked it! 👍
The fireball will be pissed of sees this XD
He doesn't have too, his product is different then mine. The quality of what he offers is greater then what this table is capable!
Wow Viny that is awesome! You have me sold and I want to do 12mm table version however I wonder if you could increase your hole tolerance by 1000 percent simply by under sizing the holes to use a reamer for final dimension and also one could use precision ground bar stock (say any size like 16mm, 25mm etc.) or machine dowels for your tooling pegs? I know it is a lot more work during the assembly, reaming all those holes. But I think it would be worth it and your table may end up being 99.95% perfect!! The cost of a good reamer and a few feet of precision ground bar stock or ground dowels is a small price to pay for the increase accuracy. Please let me know if that is something you would incorporate into that plans before I purchase a set. Cheers Joe
Yes, you could reduce the hole size and reamed them. But don't forget, typically, for welded structures, we don,t need to be ±0.1mm and by using the adjustable fences, at the end of the day, it's still your mesuring tape en skill that will set the distance between 2 fences 🤷♂️. So I'll be curious to know how long it would take you to reamed these 3.5 billion holes! 😅Let me know! 😁
@@VinyB57 Interesting reply. True about typical welded structures. But I think it would elevate your table to a higher standard with a slight investment in time and little more money. Most likely just behind Fireball's table. Well kind of close LOL. Now, if I have machined surfaced fixed standard jigs and using known shims I can achieve my measurement without spending time measuring and adjusting. Accurate and repeatable setups as needed, is that not the end game that we want to achieve? Besides, I don't mind spending months with a mag drill and reamer to make holes LOL. Regardless, what you have introduced here for us mortal viewers is an excellent tool that is a million times better that what I have now. I will be building one of your tables for sure.
Hey viny, superbe projet. Quelle compagnie de Laser Cutting as-tu fait affaire avec? Je suis curieux s'il y des équivalences dans ma région.
C'est pas nécessairement dans ma région mais j'ai eu les meilleurs prix chez Plasma Forme a Victo. Malheureusement, comme j'était pressé, j'ai pris un autre fournisseur qui me les a coupé en 4 jours! J'ai dépensé au moins 500$ de plus, mais j'ai réussit à sortir mon vidéo dans un délais ''raisonnable'' Vivre les vidéo KZhead! 😅
well done bra
Those saw horses had me worried lol
me too! 😅
Si c’est pas l’accent le plus québécois qui ya 😎
AH merde! chus démasqué! 😉
There are pins designed for holding your accessories tight both sideways and vertically to the table. They are not that expensive if you consider the cost of steel, spent time, functionality and visual quality differences. Also if you would chamfer hole edges, the pins go in smoother and if used with said mounting pins, the balls wont take damage as if they would when meeting a straight edge.
Are you talking about the pins with orings or the locking one with 3 ball bearing, cause I have 24 pins and a pack of 12 is 350$ CAD for the ball bearing ones....it adds to the cost, but it could be a good solution too!
@@VinyB57 I got myself some which got both orings and ball bearings. I paid around 200$ CAD for a 10 pack for 28mm system. It obviously adds to the cost but they actually hold tight by themselves. Maybe not necessary for a DIY'er but i would recommend trying them out anyway.
Curious to know what hardware store has those knock off vice grips or are they from Bezos boozoes with 3 day shipping to the maritimes? Enjoy your work and dry humour, keep it up. The best project for me yet has been the leaf pickup v2.0
Oh! The leaf pickup V2.0...it's been a while since I posted this project!
For what you pay, I would imagine the inaccuracy in the flatness, and the inaccuracy of your measurements, this table is better than some of the professional work tested by Fireball Tool in some of the videos he has done, I would love to see how accurate you could build some of his test pieces, awesome job
Hey thanks, that s what Im planning to do and no cheating, cause I want to see how good or bad it really is!!!
I'm look forward to seeing if your table beats the fab shops fireball tested. Thanks for the videos.
That s exactly what I m planning to do on the next vid!! But Im gonna take a small brake ( like a day or 2) I did a week of over 85 hours to get that video out! 🤦♂️ creating 108 table s dxf files took me 12.5 hours... 😅
This is a great idea! Not to show up Jason @ Fireball, but to prove to all the naysayers that a fixture table, even a cheaper option, is way better than trying to be precise on a flat plate of steel. Take the challenge and let's see the results.
Valooff toofff.... 🖤
a trip to cuba doesnt clean the driveway of snow . the trip to mexico doesnt pick her up when she breaks down with her car etc just tell her that if she wants to go on holliday to get a job and pay for it herself back to the welding / fixture table , one thing you might want to add is a large hole in the mounting plate for the legs , reason : if you drop sumting in one of the small fixture holes ( bolt nut pen watever ) the big hol in the plate alows you to fish it back out from underneath
Regarding the holes, all the ribs are opened up, so super easy to get acces if you drop a bolt where there's a leg plate! But thanks for the comment! 👌
Bad ass!!
Thanks!
Great video. Did you use HR or CR 3/8" sheet for your table?
Pretty sure it s hotrold!
I have no interest in building a welding table but this was funny enough to keep watching
At least, I entertained you, which is my main goal!
Ok, usually I like to wait until the end of the video to comment so I don't have to come back and edit it for future comments. But, you live in Dickville? That's a place? I'm surprised I haven't been invited to move there yet...
It,s your lucky day my good sir...my neighbour is selling his house..😲 I think he was firm on the price tho...you know being in Dickville...🤪
@@VinyB57 Oh trust me. Neither of our wives want us to be neighbors.
Just bought your plans as my time has a value, and buying them from you was worth me NOT designing it! Now to find a fab shop with laser and get a quote. I’m hoping to get the 1200 x 2100 in 12mm 😳
Oh yes...you have no idea how much hours I put in this design!! 😭 Have a good build, and send pics to my email, once the table is done!!
Just got the 12mm sheets laser cut and it looks great. I now need to hire a fork lift to get it off the floor to weld 😂😂. Cost of steel £1800 here in the uk - still cheaper than buying a kit one elsewhere. I notice your vid says leg plans are in the files - I didn’t receive them 😢
@@keswickadventure Great news! (1800 👍) for the legs it's part number VIN-WFT-002-MM, or send me an email at design57@outlook.com, I'll send you a copy!
The way my wife counts, The table costs as much as a few days at the track 😅
👍👍
How do I purchase the build print ?
There’s a link in the description
I notice your plans on etsy stated not to use plasma table. What is your concern here? Is it a kerf issue?
Plasma is not precise enough! Holes won t be round! You ll spend days ans days to make it work and the table won t be as precise as a laser one...don t use plasma 😅
Est-ce que quelqu'un a déjà découpé avec une CNC plasma? Est-ce que les plans sont conçus pour le faire? Merci, je me suis abonné, site très intéressant.
Salut, j ai oublié de le specifié mais j eviterais le plasma, à moins d aimer passer des heures et heures a grinder pour tout faire "fitter". Aussi le plasma ne fait pas des trous parfaitement round, donc a éviter
Where was this video two weeks ago? Been building my table from scrap and it's been a bear of a process.
IDK...in the making I guess! 🤷♂🤷♂
It just occurred to me that leveling epoxy could be used to create a very flat surface on a part of a shop floor for table frabrication.
is there a reason why the table shouldnt be plasma cut?
Oh yes! The holes, won't be round and precise...heck the entire table won't be precise at all! Don't use plasma, it's my recommandation!
It's not much more expensive to bring in a TG&P round bar :)
You might be right, shouldn't be much expensive for tg-p! Well as I wrote this, I checked on mcmaster and it's 50$ for 72'' and it's only .625 +0 -.003...so not as precise as I thought, but still a good option! I'll stick with my CRS tho.
My wife told me my welding table was worth 2 family vacations.
🤣 At least, Im not the only one!
Then it is good. The table will be a game changer. An inaccurate tool will result in inaccurate work
Hot dog in hallway!!!! Un roteux
😉👍
If you cant make the accessories for the table precise, make it adjustable. Tthen precision is only limited to flatness of the table and your measuring tools..
I'm 100% with you on this one!
Just the tip Vinny, just the tip….
I'm gonna need more context...😅
Unfortunately these prizes are a fair bit off unless he is only counting burn price but a 4x8 sheet of half inch itself is close to 1000 bucks then on other sheet for the smaller parts plus the burn. No way that’s 1600. At least not in wv where I am
Well these are the price Ive got from 2 quotes...to be fair one was 100$ more, like 1700usd... what to I gain to lie about prices ? I m in canada and I can t know how the price will vary depending where you live...but thats the prices I ve got
Get two more steel plates (or cast iron, etc) and some diamond lapping paste; and lap it in using the three-plate method; the same way you'd make a surface plate from scratch. Using some high-torque, low-speed gear motors to move the plates back and forth makes this process much less tedious. Then you'll have the flattest welding table in your entire town... perhaps country.
A blind man would be proud !!! 😅
Ok? It s that ugly to look at?🤔
No. I meant that the small deviations from being perfectly flat are nothing to be concerned about. I think you have done an amazing job. I am envious of your talents. Keep up the great work.
Apparently this English saying doesn’t translate well. lol.
@@shaneeickmeier6213 Aaah!! Fioufff! Thanks man for the clarity! 😅
i'm going to buy it but it's 9usd more expensive! why man?
It s probably CAD...it s 30USD
@@VinyB57 thanks!
Le petit Massey avait mal au bras tout ce poids 😂
Telllllement!!!! 😅
ah the good old semi dwept. =/
A dwept?!
Really nice table. You need to have words with whoever laser cut those parts. The edge quality is terrible. I run a 1kW fiber laser and can produce better edges than that.
Seriously! I though they were not that bad! 🤷♂️ Thanks for the feed back! 👌
"L'établi, on en a tous un" non 😢 😂
Ouep! ou presque..🤷♂️
😂 no your not wrong
About which part? 😅
Ah, actually doing that is going to cost about the same as a Certiflat table. But then, all the extra work you have to do to get this made will effectively cost you more.
Well..if you check the certiflat, the price tag is 4253.99 for a 3/8x36x96.. and mine was 975..🤷♂️
@@VinyB57 yes, but we’re talking about small tables here, 24 x 36 to maybe 36 x 48, which is the size of my Siegmund. Certiflat also has one sided tops such as the one here and the five sided tops we usually see. So you can choose from any of those going from 3/16” to 1/2” thick. At one time they made a 5/8” thick top, but I haven’t checked to see if they still do.
no way all this cost $1500.00
Yes way! 😅
Tell your wife that you need that stuff to make KZhead videos, and without the video views, there's no monetization. See how this works? 😜
Well..if it was just up to her, I had quite making videos a long time ago 😅 So I won t ask.. 😉
"only using a grinder and a welder"
😉😉
BIG CLICK BAIT, you ordered a table then assembled it.
Sorry sir, It's only semi-click bait!! I said it was NOT like Fireball! So you knew!😉
How accurately ffs. It's called English.
hey man do you have plans for your trailer?
yes, go to 57design.ca
@VinyB57 would you say that in order to upgrade the carrying capacity, it would need stronger steel, axle and hydraulics? I need more than 5500lbs unfortunately. Let me know if im right with the upgrade suggestion
@@davidmuller1958 No sorry, I sized everything to matched together, so if you need more then 5k Lb, it s not the right design for you!
@VinyB57 dang! I was on the verge of purchasing lol. Anyway I am interested in your hydraulic design. Do you have access to stronger? Hydraulics or the balloon thing? Been looking for a lift bed trailer design for some time. I can weld, so fabricating it shouldn't be hard at all.
Here I think you shine....all of your nowhow in engineering comes forward! Really nice job...not andvie at all....🫣... And the wife thing, if you are in a "real" relationship, you have heard something just like that, of similar....😆.... But Viny... can I start with a 2*2 feet, and build it out in sections....will the plans and up if you build it out with 2 by 2 feet...⁉️🤔🤔🤔🤔🤯 I know, Im a numnut.......! Good job, and next part pretty soon i think.......😆🫣👍
Hey Tony, yes you can start from a 2x2 and add more over time...but it would be flater if it was one big table, instead of a bunch of samll ones
