[God mode restorations]

Afternoon all. .... Finally got a couple of over the top size plates for my work bench.many thanks too a forum member...couldn't tell how much it weighs but took two of us to lift it in place....but every work shop should have a big slab of metal on there bench.....

Haha, that is a hefty chunk. Just going to leave it loose?

Yes...hope I ain't got to move it... just got to find some sort of oil type I can put on it to help prevent surface rust.

Iff those holes are parallels then you could make pegs to hold stuff straight

That's what I was thinking

Looks like they are. My guess is they was cnc laser cut

Yes if you had a pair of slow angle wedges, used opposing each other, with pegs in the holes you could keep things tightly together.

Finally got the work place to a usable condition. .still got loads of stuff to sort...finished my Welding plate off...and those holes are going to come in real handy.

I think it's welding tips and tricks on youtube who has a welding bench with holes in for clamps. I've not watched his videos for a while but as I recall he has several clamps which are made for the welding table, they have a round base which drops into any of the holes and allows you to tighten things down to the table - the sideways pressure on the clamp/hole is enough to keep it in place.
