> looks good. I envy your welding table.

Buffalo steel had the table top as a cutout for 40 bucks a piece, so i bought 2. I used 30 ft of 2x2 by 1/8 wall tubing and some solid 1in stock for the clamp bars and some SS feet. All in all i think i have 200 bucks into it. I want to make another identical one in case i need to put them together for a bigger project, but i learned the hard way that table that are too bit are more of a hindrance than a help sometimes.

Oh and dont’t make the table too tall, i made that mistake too on one.

This.

This is the best option IMO if you are pouring the concrete. VCT is a pretty crappy option IMO, but relatively cheap.

Epoxy can last a long time with good prep, fresh concrete, and good materials. But nothing will really last forever. With the colored / sealed concrete, even if it gets damaged, its easy to repair so that it looks the same as before the repair.
