    This just seems sad to me or some people have too much money perhaps?
    I am on my way home for a 3-day staycation driving my old crusty vehicle that has some slight issues with not liking bumps in the road at all.
    Edit it's like about a 300 mile drive home and then a 300-mile drive back to the Cascadia thinking there's got to be a little something better to do then driving 600 miles in my days off.

    What kind of ac unit is that? Do you think that a Honda eu2000 could run it?

    It's 3/8" thick. The buckets are to catch the leaks from the skylight above the table. It is actually the welding bed off my old 3/4 ton ford that I added legs and a shelf to. I kept the bed frame the welder sat on attached to it as well. It's amazing what you can lay across the rails and get to easier than on the flat table top.
    The holes are for round dies/bolts for bending things. I have 1/2" weld nuts under the top to screw bolts into. I made these for hanging hoses and electrical lines on a blade trailer with those dies.

    I'll put some pictures of my table and dies up tomorrow.
    The angle finder is an adjustable protractor that fits on a ruler blade.

    Thank You, @Bear135!!

    I don't know if you can get that as a sticker or not, I found it online while looking at pinstriping.

    I was after complete joint penetration, which is the strongest weld possible. A narrower groove would have been harder to get into the bottom without grinding out the backside to solid weld metal.
    Had I used a wire welder, the groove could have been narrower. As a general rule, I try not to make structural parts with a wire welder. I'm like you, and don't have a big enough wire welder to make a structural weld I'd be comfortable with.

    I have a 2000 watt Honda which is quiet, then I have a 5000 watt Honda that’s not so quiet. Wouldn’t mind a mid size without the extra noise lol. Nice to have onboard shore power.

    I got a good idea where those are headed. I had a bunch of those crates stored in my building while the local dealer was building their new shop.
