Ok I made more progress. Not as much as I wanted to but oh well. Top shelf made With welder sitting on it Some more of the upright. Still have to decide where to mount the power box. The two places it looks best either interfere with the eventual bottle placement or the wire access door. I...

Ah yeah. That is the eventual plan to have the solid ones. Just focusing what little money I plan to invest finishing it and making it look pretty lol. I’ll worry about the rear tires later once they become enough of a headache Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yeah I’ve been thinking about it. But that’ll come later if I do. I have a few spares laying around if I have an issue Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I think I’m just gonna stay with flux core for now. At least to finish the cart, it’s just easier. Once the cart is done I’ll start working on the transition to gas. Anyways, stay tuned I hope to make a decent amount of progress this weekend Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yeah it’s pretty much just airgas and praxair around here from what I can find. I work across the street from an airgas and it would be $50 to refill the 150cf. Found a retired guy selling some full/in cert 150cf bottles for 175. That’s a 1/3rd the price new from airgas/praxair You’re...

On another note. Had to stop by Home Depot to pick up a pressure washer, while I was there I grabbed a box for the carts power station. Still not completely sure where it’ll get mounted on the cart but I’ll figure it out. Working on convincing the boss to let me get a 150cf c25 bottle Sent...

Thank you! Lol oh I’ve already thought about that and will be triple checking before anything gets glued together. Now here’s a dilemma I ran into. I’ve always ran fluxcore with the plan of eventually switching to solid/gas. The cart is almost done and capable of holding a bottle, and i...

Thank you. And the top shelf will be similar to the bottom shelf with the expanded sheet on the bottom and an angle iron perimeter so that will keep it from falling off. In the last picture it is just set on the top shelf supports to give a better idea of the finished layout. Sent from my...

Thank you Thank you, I can’t wait to finish it. But then that means I have to start another project lol Thank you, I really got tired of it being in the way so it works out. A lot of good designs out there but for what materials I had I think it should turn out pretty cool Thank you...

I've been wanting/needing a welding cart for awhile now but I just never had the spare money to put towards getting one. So I follow the rule of if you can't afford to buy it, build it. I've had this engine stand sitting around for probably 15+ years and its been used twice and its always in...

Made some more progress on the welding cart. Finished the lower basket sides and wheel mounts. However I need to heat and bend one of the wheel mounts back into true since it warped a little. Next I need to start the basket for the top shelf that’ll hold the welder and then add all the hose/cord...

Made some more progress on the welding cart. Finished the lower basket sides and wheel mounts. Next I need to start the basket for the top shelf that’ll hold the welder and then add all the hose/cord mounts etc that a good cart needs. Then I need to go through and finish weld/smooth everything...

Made some progress on the welding cart and specifically the rear wheel mount. I think the design is there but I hate how it turned out. So I’ll do the other side better and redo this one because I can’t leave it this way. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Made the first wheel mount after sneaking back out into the shop. Andddd I hate how it turned out. So I’m gonna make the one for the other side a little differently and if it turns out more to my liking I’ll cut the first side out and redo it. Not too bummed about it, but definitely annoyed that...

Had a small amount of time to make some progress today. Finalized the rear wheel position and started making the needed changes. Unfortunately it will prevent me from being able to have a two bottle setup but i figure I’m more than a year away from getting into TIG so I can change it later...

Thoughts on these? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Made more progress on my welding cart Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Finally made enough progress on my engine stand turned welding cart where I feel it worthy of sharing. Old engine stand that did nothing but get in the way Still a lot of work to do but at least the frame is mostly done. Hitch pin seems to be perfect size for the rear wheel mount, just...

That’s badass. I just cut up my old engine stand to turn into a welding cart. About halfway done so I won’t have decent pics until next weekend probably. What’s the 4bt going in? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
