I have a requirement for a large (4ft X 12ft) work table. It has to be light weight and portable.
No more than 100lbs would be on this table at any given time. I like the following design.
It folds in half when not in use, and the legs fold up inside, for trouble free easy storage.
General welding questions that dont fit in TIG, MIG, Stick, or Certification etc.

That is a neat design. What materials and thickness were you planning on using? I would like to see a table like this built and documented.

We had a plank table that had separate legs that had two pipes running across the width. The table top slid into the gap and the legs were angled, looking the board in place. Visa versa at the other end stopping the plank from moving. I think the width could be anything.

I picked up some 3/4" Spruce plywood for the project. I plan on plunge routing a grid of holes in the table top for clamps.

this is what im talking about, though an industrial version http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_GSN3OGe_vzY/S ... ingner.jpg
That seems simple enough, but I would think that it would wobble.

The other design uses triangles, which should be pretty stable.

That pic is merely for illustration purposes. To show you the idea Thicker top, beefier legs and a little more angle to the legs and it would be rock solid. the one we had had about a 2" plank on it, with about 1"3/4 pipe for the frame.
