Thanks O~48,
My shop will be growing in goodies

in the next year or so as my Father-in-law thins out his 20 yr. blacksmith shop

.
Plasma cutter is on the list and I had not thought about building an area for cutting. A few weeks back he gave me some books and one was Welding Projects II. Not sure if it the same one you mention but I do remember a table as you described. I'll have to look again.
