Super Easy Metal Table Legs

My girlfriend Tracy made a coffee table for her son and asked if I would weld up some simple metal legs, so I thought it would be a nice and quick video to share.

Thank you for taking the time to watch my video.

I am a creator of things, a metal artist, a maker of stuff, a woodworker, a welder, and a bohemian traveler of the world.

I hope to inspire, motivate, teach and be a part of the lives that seek to become creators of their own wonderful creations.

I appreciate the 3D printer in the background

[djspeer]

You always make it look so easy. And it always looks so awesome. You are very talented.

[brianmitchell]

This video is awesome for someone new to welding!

[phunkissartisticcreations]

I agree, a buffing pad with a 120 grit disc gives a great look to metal. Stay safe brother!

[buddymcclure]

Great video Doug, straight forward and to the point!

Hi I always tack everything together first and get it square then weld opposite corners to stop it pulling too much keep up the good work

At 2:17 what is that metal thing. Like fingers, with holes. Cool looking

[jacksonvillereclaimedwood]

Great video dude! Thank you for the post.

[GDISinc]

Where do you get your metal from and what size square tubing is that? Almost doesn't seem worth making them today vs. just buying them online. Thanks!

[nikondful]

Thanks for the video Doug. Was that the sound of a 3D printer in the background?

[BarnesysBuilds]

Great build, it would be a great addition to get some rubber based plastic insert pads to slot into the open bases of square tube to prevent scratching wooden floors. Thanks mate

[jayg]

I just subscribed. Where did you get the feet?

[Atlantismonkey]

Hi Doug, quick response time. After a closer look it at 2;03. Bottom of shelves right in front you. Just to the right side of the Arizona tea. It inside if a box.four metal looking fingers with holes where finger nail would go. Look cool.hop all is well

[Spankybuzz]

Am I hearing a 3d printer in the background sound?

[OIFVETERAN]

I would also like to know more about the top. Is it a singe piece? Ect?

[MillerDesign]

Does it sway at all? Looking to build a scaled-up version as a computer desk and curious if a cross beam may be needed.

You should teach shop class if your business ever slows down. You have a natural talent

[blogJM]

Do you have an estimate cost on making this?

[JohnMartinson]

I like the idea... isn't there a risk that the screws would pull out if someone (drunk or tired) leaned up against the table?

[frankhouck]

Shouldn’t those holes be slotted to allow for expansion and contraction of the wood top? Especially oversized in the direction of the cross grain?
