My welder cart I repurposed a three drawer file cabinet and a bicycle rack.

I recently went through the same thought process and decided to build my own. Click the link below and look at posts #1 for some background info and #4 for the 90% complete welder cart. I attached photos today in post #4. I am almost finished with it. I have less than $50 in it and not much...

Thanks guys. The handle was a bicycle storage rack for a car I repurposed for my cart. It worked out that the width of the bike rack and the cabinet was the same.

Well I am almost finished with my cart. I made good progress this weekend. Actually all that I have left is to secure the power strip and make a folding side shelf. I ended up installing four smaller bolts that the rubber cupped feet on the welder straddle to keep the welder from sliding off...

Nice score. $3 per drawer is not bad at all!

I have not seen these other than online but they look like something that you could make. You could stack the same size wrenches this way.

Nice work!

Hey all. I wanted to share with everyone my new to me welder cart. I am glad I did my homework searching here on GJ for ideas. Thank you to those that contributed. I picked up a used three drawer filing cabinet and four-4" casters at my local used office /second hand furniture store...

Slick job there. Looks good. I did the same using house wiring 12-2 with a ground to wrap coils around the light. I use it for automotive work.

Could you take a crack at drawing it? I think I am following you but I would be interested in a drawing.

$200 + seems way to high for a welding cart with drawers. Seems to me that you could pick up a used two drawer office file cabinet, slap on some casters, a handle on the front, some metal hooks and a coat of paint and come out way ahead. Just my $0.02

Unless you plan to do some serious painting I would go with option 2. The copper pipe fiting thing is no big deal. My father and I painted my 79' ford pickup in high school with the same setup. If I remembered right we froze 1/2 gallon and gallon milk jugs, cut the plastic off and dropped...

This week I added a coat hook to my kids workbench. I was happy with how it turned out and the kids really liked it. I took a few pictures also.

Well there are a lot of ideas here. I have to say that I am amazed at what everyone came up with. The attached photos are ones I plan to look into as far as cost. I like others also but some might become more expensive than I planned on originally.

I would say okay for the grinder but recommend buying a hitch receiver mount for the vise. Unless you don't plan to get rough with hammering or wrenching on work pieces in your vise.

So what have you decided to build?

I have no experience with lifts at home garages. However, I don't see an issue with washing cars inside a garage with an in-floor scissor lift setup. A little up front planning like you are doing is all that it would take. I don't see why you couldn't put a perimeter trough recessed into the...

Wow I didn't expect this many great ideas! Thanks guys and let's keep em coming.

I am tired of throwing my coats on the workbench etc. in my garage. I have a few ideas to make a garage themed coat rack but does anyone else have unique ideas for my project? The photos are some of the ideas that I have seen and like. At Menard's last weekend I found cheap claw hammers on...

If your 1" roadstone has fines in it like I am thinking there are two conversions you use to get your cubic yards into tons of rock. In Illinois/ Missouri where I live (limestone product) a "compacted" road stone would yield 1.5 tons per cubic yard and "loose or dumped" road stone would yield...
