My Newb Plasma Table Attempted Build

I have 2. They're sisters/litter mates, a little over 2 years old. Much better behaved than our human kids lmao!

Had to take a break. I herniated a disc in my back last week. Anyway, I'm feeling a little bit better and decided to get something done today.

Took all of the table apart down to the frame. I never had got around to painting it, and a little bit of surface rust has begun to settle on the frame. This is the perfect opportunity to correct that and put some protection on it. Also added a couple of pieces of square tube to the bottom for more leg support. I've been wanting to add something that I could place my plasma on, and I had this angle iron laying around in the garage so I just used two pieces. I'll probably get some expanded metal for both sides of the angle iron so I have a complete bottom storage area.

Tomorrow it will get a mount point for the new electronics enclosure and then the paint. It's 106 deg F put right now, so I think I've had quite enough for today.

Its pretty cool seeing these small uncomplicated table designs. It goes to show that keeping it simple can still work.

Hmm, I wonder if dvn4life1972 actually still thinks its uncomplicated having got this far!

But yes, agree you can do it quite cheaply....

My back is feeling a little bit better, so I rearranged the small space I have and can now begin v2.

The gantry riser plates I made seem to be in good order, only got this side partially assembled and I was able to mount the rails to the 3030 extrusion that makes the gantry beam.

Thats a pretty interesting way to mount the linear rails.
