curious why did you extend the casters outside the cart on the front. Did you feel there would be a stability problem. It looks very well made just had the question about that part of the design

i wanted to keep the center of gravity as low as possible and to have just a little more stability to it..
as for the color red, i was going to go all blue then decided to mix it up a little.... so for me it's now miller red.. lol

Looks ausome. Probably works better then half those cheep little carts you get in the store. I like the farther spread apart wheels in front adding more stability.

I just built a cart also, can you tell me what paint prep you did? and what paint you used?

I am thinking for just scotch brighting the metal, then some primer and rustoleum enamel.

Thanks

gsport, Me thinks you did a great job. I like the extended front casters as the size of your tank changes the center of gravity. Again "Great Job!

my new welder cart..

HI Guys
Here is the cart I just finished with tig/plasma in the top unit and mig below.
The draw on the bottom has torches and consumables. argon and co2/argon bottles all in one. moves around with extension cord of remote action.
Top unit was off set so I could open the mig side cover for wire changes.

Have fun
Tom

That's a MONSTER! I like that! I used to work in an office that had nice big two tray carts. Always wanted to steal one of those and convert it into a welding cart. :pimpflash

All nice carts!

How do you like that plasma cutter? Someday I'm gonna have one and really like the small size of the inverter design.

I have only had the plasma for about 6 weeks or so. I found it new never used on CL an saved $400, came with the hard case and a bunch of consumables. I have only played around with it 1 time, have not used it on any builds yet. But as soon as I get my garage cabinets finished I plan on building a welding table, may get to use it a little then.

Maybe it looks like a monster because I didn't resize the pic :). It's about 4 ft from the pull handle to the back of the tank tray. The tray above the bottles has been very handy for clamps, vice grips and storing the welding shield.

I'm jealous - I wanted to build my own but because I was so busy on car projects I went and purchased the $99 bolt-together. Great design....thin metal....
