Found a nice piece of flat, heavy gauge boiler-plate at the scrapyard and along with some salvaged rectangular section tube; I`ve made a small version of the larger welding bench I recently assembled.....although it`s a mini-me table-top partner to it`s big brother bench; it is (ahem) 'slightly' heavier than I planned.
Total cost: less than £10.
