    Here is a pic of the Old style and new style Vidmar end caps that I have that I would love to trade for some of the old Lista ones.

    That's a great idea (3D print them). I'll look into that if I can't find any. Thanks

    Need help with older Lista Cabinet restore

    I recently purchased an older style Lista cabinet that matches one that I previously restored. The problem is that the handles and end caps aren't available anymore. For my latest cabinet, I need 4 pairs of the end caps. These are the ones that fit the older handles with the visible holes...

    Help! Lista box locked itself up.

    For others in this predicament, I'd like to point out that on my older Lista there are 2 purposes of the vertical rotating C shaped locking bar. The first of course is to lock all of the drawers. The second is to keep the other drawers closed when any drawer is opened. So, opening any drawer...

    Modified Harbor Frieght (HF) welding cart for Millermatic 211

    So, I went by Harbor Freight and checked out their welding blankets. I handled one of them and it felt like it would work well. I planned on picking some up after I figured out what sizes I needed to make a cubicle. Well, a few minutes later my forearms started itching, as did my face where I...

    Modified Harbor Frieght (HF) welding cart for Millermatic 211

    Well, I'm glad that the tank I have was questioned here. I assumed that it was a 75/25 mix as my brother did. After further research, it turns out that the Airgas Gold Gas SteelMix is an 84/16 mix (nor is it a tri-mix). I'm not quite sure what to do with it now. Here's my situation. I used to...

    Modified Harbor Frieght (HF) welding cart for Millermatic 211

    loranger - how are you currently opening your side door. Aren't the tray lip, rear panel flange, and side support riser all in the way?

    Modified Harbor Frieght (HF) welding cart for Millermatic 211

    Thank you all for the nice comments. pmilin - wow, I love those rubber clamps. Please let us all in on where to source them. wagon - I didn't think I was running straight CO2. I got the tank from my brother and the label says mixed. What did you pick up on that indicated otherwise...

    Modified Harbor Frieght (HF) welding cart for Millermatic 211

    I did try to come up with a handle idea, but so far I've drawn a blank. The biggest issue is that I have the cover that goes over the welder and it pretty much blocks most of the attachment points: Also, since the welder is bolted to the cart, I have found it easy to maneuver it by pulling...

    Modified Harbor Frieght (HF) welding cart for Millermatic 211

    The extra shelf is now "extra" and is in the scrap pile. I couldn't figure out a use for it on the cart.

    Modified Harbor Frieght (HF) welding cart for Millermatic 211

    Final? result: I realize I went overboard on this cart with the padding, pan head bolts, and strap, but after I got into it, it became a "project". Even without those, this is a great cart and perfect for the Millermatic. I still haven't used it yet, but I bought the steel for a...

    Modified Harbor Frieght (HF) welding cart for Millermatic 211

    Two other mods need to be done so that the door can open freely. The first is to cut off the shelf support so that it is flush with new shelf position. The second mod is to cut and bend the flange on the rear vertical tank panel so that it doesn't block the door. After everything was...

    Modified Harbor Frieght (HF) welding cart for Millermatic 211

    In searching for a welding cart for my new Millermatic 211 Autoset, I wasn't happy with the Miller carts. They seemed too pricey, and the reviews weren't that good. I considered making my own, but after seeing what others have done with the HF carts, I decided to go that route. I incorporated...

    Between 265 & 485 SQ/FT The 12-Gauge Garage

    Jack, all of your projects are outstanding and a great source for inspiration and ideas. I am specifically interested in more info on the Lista cabinet job so here are some questions if you don't mind. 1. Which diablo blade did you use (48T or 56T)? 2. What color and product did you paint the...
