First welding project

[Dwizzle]

Hello everyone
I recently bought a mig welder and my first project was to build a welding cart
I will not tell you how much hours I spent on this project but I can say that i am very satisfied with the result

Good job! Looks very good, especially for your first project.

Looks good. I like the way you have the angle grinders setup. If you squint enough, the grinders look like some of those little fish, clinging on to a big whale.

Very nice design.

Nice job man. I like details. Anyone notice the hinged rod shown in picture #5? I'm pretty sure he added that feature so he can easily access the wire feed without moving the actual machine. Great idea!

Nicely done. Kind of fun gluing steel together isn't it. The last one I made for my new (to me) tig setup I built tall as being an old fart I hate having to bend down to change settings and I needed space below for the pump and coolant tank. So do you already have your next welding project picked out? Mike

I sure hope his new project is a metal welding table.

The machine is 80 pounds, it is much easier to lift the little arm,
you have a good sense of observation

Nice work. I have the same mig welder as you. You will like that Hobart welder, I've had mine for 5 years now and never had an issue.
