Frame tables, let’s see them.
Even though most on this site will be restoring a frame instead of building one, a frame table comes in very handy when replacing damaged sections or making welding repairs. This is what I built for a 32 frame, but it will work on many others.
Anyone else have one, or ideas for one? |

Re: Frame tables, let’s see them.
I made mine such that I could rotate it to make all the fabrication and welding work a lot easier. This was one of the smartest decisions I made - really helped the complexities of the fabrication process, the boxing plate installs/welding, etc..
The end stands are made like engine stands (and I made them such that when I don't have the jig together, they are engine stands). I used the construction of the stands and the jig as my first TIG welding project (had done a lot of oxy-acet and stick before). The cross bars have adjustable frame holders - so they can be moved to handle any width/style of frame - the first being a custom 34 frame I built. Also, it comes all apart as I knew that I would not want it taking up room in my shop and it is too heavy to move if it is all together . . . anyway, here is my take on it.

I have 4 stands with it that are EXACTLY the same height and they allow you to check a frame with laser levels really quickly . The rotisserie feature on the third one would be really handy but mine is WAAAAY too heavy for that . |

Re: Frame tables, let’s see them.
Saw some pictures the other day; where a manual slack adjuster and brake cam shaft (truck air brakes) was used as a "rotary reduction gearbox on a frame jig. Looked like a slick set-up.

Re: Frame tables, let’s see them.
I’m collecting a bunch of 5” channel iron from pallet racking in a warehouse. I may put something like this together......Mark

Re: Frame tables, let’s see them.
This is what I made up using a old welding table for my current project. I really like the idea of the rotisserie table.
