The real budget here was space, which is why it is only 3'x6'x.5".
Built this a couple years ago when i was limited on space and money (I would have easily spent more money if I had space for a bigger table). I think my garage at the time was 17' x 18' which fills up quick.
I still have the table but I also have a much larger one that is 4'x16'x.750".
I knew I would want a bigger table in the future so I built it in a way that I wouldn't outgrow it in a year. Basically I could still use it for odd projects that require a lot of clamping, straightening axles, and misc. things of that sort.
I spent a little over $450 on this table, that cost doesn't include the vice that I already had.
It looks rusty but that's just the mill scale of the A36 plate.
