Small but reasonable size for welding table top?

I found a piece of 1/4" "scrap" at a yard that was 54" x 48". A bit rusty but quite flat. It was 0.20 per pound, as well as a bunch of other things. I cut it down to 32" x 48" so it fits perfect over the top of a table I built several years ago and was about to burn. It rolls nicely behind my band saw. I raised it up on some holey 2.5" square stuff I got from the scrap yard as well. That should keep heat far away from the wood surface and allow for decent clamping all around.

All cleaned up, I'm quite happy and this was a quick project.

Thanks for your advice here and on the other thread that inspired me to just get out and go to the scrap yard to see what they have.

Wow. There are lots of clever ideas in here. Apparently during the time they were flowing in, I was also making progress on mine. Quick notes: yeah that HF table looks really lucrative. Nice usage of the table saw.I found a piece of 1/4" "scrap" at a yard that was 54" x 48". A bit rusty but quite flat. It was 0.20 per pound, as well as a bunch of other things.
