Wow. Ok I'd like to see what you used to shape those legs!

A CNC tube bender and a CNC water jet i will try and snap some pics when its in action next time

Wish I had half a million dollars worth of CNC tools at my disposal when I built my table... Impressive! I was going to ask how you made those tube joints.

tgkleman · July 2012

Impressive, but why did you over engineer it to the extent you did? That will be difficult to move even on casters.

Over engineered, impossible.

It rolls like butter with one hand

Joins are made with a CNC Plasma Tube Notcher. We can do tubing 1" to 8" Diameter and up to 12' Long

Is this really the weight? I have boat trailers that carry 2000+ lb. boats that weigh less than that.

Its mostly from the cement block lol I dont know WTF its made from... a friend of mine made it with extra cement when they were at a site. Its three inches thick 18 x 24 I wont be asking him to make any more LOL. I found the exact kind I was looking for after he had finished.

You have:

18 x 14 x 3 = 756 cu in cement

divide by cubic foot (12^3)

756/1728 = 0.75 cubic feet cement

determine weight at 150 lb/cubic foot

150 x 0.75 = 112.5 pound cement block
13 lb/wheel x 4 = 52 pounds wheels

volume of maple
73 1/2L x 39 1/2w x 1 1/2H = 4440

4440/1728 = 2.6 cubic feet
at 47 lb/cubic foot = 120 pounds (minus hole)

about 282 pounds of wood, cement and wheels
so you have about 652 - 282 = 370 pounds of steel, about twice that of a chevy engine block (180 pounds)

nolaegghead · July 2012

Oh, made a mistake in the cement dimension...so there's less weight in steel than 370 lb

nolaegghead · July 2012

Make a mistake about making a mistake. I just typed the wrong cement dimension down. It's still 0.75 cubic feet.

McStew · July 2012

my guys calculated it on a home scale it might be off a bit ( its all we had ) ... thanks for the calculations

nolaegghead · July 2012

I'm bored...one a conference call for work. Being a nerd makes time go by faster.

McStew · July 2012

LOL when your bored you do calculations, when was bored i created this ... to each is there own ...

last week between coats of varnish I started making a DIY Sous Vide

nolaegghead · July 2012

I built a prototype sous vide bath (small one) just to get a feel on how the materials hold up, so I can make a larger unit later on. Fun fun fun.... Just can't use my shop when I'm at work....

nolaegghead · July 2012

McStew · July 2012
