What happens here
The table base is constructed from square metal tubing. Individual pieces are cut to length and arranged on a welding table. Clamps are used to hold the pieces securely in place, ensuring square corners and accurate dimensions. The metal pieces are then welded together using appropriate welding techniques to form the two rectangular end supports and the central connecting frame. This process requires safety gear such as a welding helmet and gloves. After welding, an angle grinder is used to smooth out any rough welds and burrs, creating clean joints.
Goal: Construct a sturdy metal frame for the table base
