Seems to me that welding up your own table would be good practice as well as a fun project, or maybe I am simply a cheapskate.
I for one collect each and every old bedsprings that folks toss for recycle day, you can't imagine all the good projects that they have created.
Examples: tablesaw base, planer and shaper base, welding table, even used them in lieu of T bars.
Also made a few sawhorses with them.
A buddy has made more than a few ATV trailers with bed springs and discarded oil tanks.

Are you talking about the steel frame that supports the box spring?

I have the HF version, works well as long as you don't try to do to much with it. I use mine all the time either as a welding table or a work bench.

Good buy in my opinion. :thumbsup:

The $180 it would cost to get that table (Canadian dollar sukcs right now) would easily cover the cost of building yourself something similar similar sized. I've got $1000 into my 4x8 table and half that was the 1/2" top
