I think he would be better off selling instructions. "2 pieces of 3/8" sandwiched together". Thats heavy. Looks about 24"x48". The table probably weighs 150 lbs.

Looks pretty.

How do you plan to keep it from rolling away.

Looks to have been built for welding little jobs is the next one going to be at least 4'x8'

thanks , and nope , so far I have no need for a large table like that ! it'll work for the jobs we do for now and with both together will be much more then we need at the moment . + there are locks on all 4 wheels or 8 wheels on 2 tables
