Not familiar of the 2 X 2 design other than what I see in the TM Advertisement. About all you need to do is build a square pan from 12 or 14 gage material that will fit inside the frame.

Build it so the slats can be easily removed to muck out the pan when needed. The pan probably needs to be apx. 4" deep.

Small table I'm assuming small parts. I'd place the slats no more than 2" apart or even closer to prevent part tip ups. A close slat grid may prevent you from crashing the plasma torch into a tipped up part.

If you are going to have a holding tank to drain the pan & refill when you use the table. you will need about a 15 gal. tank for that.

Look on the www.pirate4x4.com site....there is at least one guy building one there with pictures, etc. A lot of Torchmate people on that site!

Actually....I think this link will get you right to the thread http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/showthread.php?t=870411
