Small welding table, any good?

[Wyn F]

I don't have a workshop so all my work has to be done outside. So am looking for a small welding table that will be easily movable and not look too out of place on the patio
Has anyone any experience of these listed on ebay ?
For use with tig it doesn't look to easy to sit at but maybe wrong ?
Any advice or pointers appreciated
btw, Please don't say make one as I still can't weld yet

Looks a lot like a copy of the Stronghand Nomad, I have one of those my daughter bought for me a couple of Christmases back, I believe the Nomad is now around £110-00 now, so the ebay one seems like a decent buy for light duty jobs,I'm quite impressed with mine.

something to think about, get a cheap workmate bench and a plate of 5mm steel. it all folds away nice and small, and when you are working on it you simply clamp the steel to one of the bits of wood with g clamp. earth to the steel and you have a welding table that is nice and portable, easy to store and a fairly decent height too if its like mine, and even if its too low you can weld some re-bar onto the legs to make it taller (or put it on blocks until you can weld enough to put rebar on )

That's cool cheers, so sounds like worth a punt then
I am using a workmate atm, but without the steel plate as I don't have any
My fault I know but it keeps setting on fire and is slowly getting thinner every time I use it

Now's time for a change me thinks

Well it turned up 2 days later and to be honest it looks ok to me
Certainly no complaints from here !

I have burnt mine a few times. I was welding on a 2mm sheet but got some thicker stuff as I kept noticing the wood was on fire under the steel lol that table looks good though, I might need one soon

Wyn, build a BBQ to sit on top then it won't look out of place on the patio!

Fear not, have already acquired one of the wife's patio chairs for me welding lark
Besides the patio isn't that neat as it has a spare car engine along with my welding bits n other junk on the other side
I look at it as modern art
