Welding Cart incorporating ToolBox/ToolChest
- Thread starter duwem
- Start date
Bump back up top, was at the check out with the slip for a Harbor Freight Large cart and they said they were out of them. Said corporate policy wont let them sell the floor model any more either.
I'm not a big fan of how the drawers and stuff are set up on it anyways, Lowest "drawer" is just a flip open front, nothing to pull out. Gota be on your knees to get anything out. Dumb.
So now I might be back to making one out of a tool chest...any new ides out there post em up!!

Man it’s been a year and not done? Get a box top and some steel and get er done. Procrastination is 90% of any project

I've been working on stuff long enough to know that I don't want to be dragging a huge rolling tool shop around when all I REALLY need is the welder, and vice versa, so I made my own welding cart, just a welding cart-----if I need a wrench, I'll open my toolbox and grab one, no big deal, it doesn't need to be on the same cart as my welder!
BTW--paint was still drying in this pic, but it should be pretty clear what's what---welder sits on top, bottle below, MIG gun in metal pipe 'holster'. This was built from a dissected and re-built hand truck. Even the corner gussets, which were originally the hand-truck bottom plate!

Re: DIY Recycled BBQ for Mig Cart .
DIY: MIG Welding Cart from an Old BBQ Lower Frame ( no alterations required ) with Gas Bottle and room to insert Trays and Shelves for storage inside . Top is an Old Galvanized Dog Crate Pan . Perfect for rolling around the shop .

I've got a drawing laid out on the white in the garage. I've been thinking of building it as a Winter project. You guys are giving me ideas.
Lower level at front Lincoln Tombstone. Up top Hobart 175 Mig welder and Fortney 20P plasma cutter next to it. Maybe a set of drawers underneath behind the tombstone and bottle rack on the back, probably a double for future growth.

Lol... I think we could be friends. Here's mine using the same type of file cabinet. I've got a big old dusty tube TV in my garage as well.
