Input on Large Harbor Freight Welding Cart???

[no704]

I like the side cart idea too. My stuff sits until I need it then it sits again, kinda planning on finding a drop clothe to cover the whole deal with when it is not being used to keep it clean.

BBQ covers are cheap!

I had already ordered a couple bottle clamps so will use those up top and their chain setup down lower. My bottles may last years so having them clamped up is OK, it might really honk off a person that needs to swap a bottle every day. Kinda thinking I may make some T handle threaded devices to use instead of the SHCS they include. These have an M8 thread. Might make 5/16-18 female threaded parts, that portion of the project can maybe wait though. I am going to make 1/4" steel plates to go on inside for the bottle retention stuff. Picturing a bottle with the valve broken off carrying the whole cart over into the next state airborne makes me wary of anything "less than" when it comes to securing the bottles.

I have all of the bottle retention chains and brackets and hangers and so forth. I transferred everything over pretty much exactly as it was when the cart was oriented the other direction. This required removing some welds, drilling a few holes, pulling out drawers for access, and using some nutserts. I did this a couple of years ago and recall there being only one bolt that I could not do right and it was one of 4 for a wheel or axle bracket so I decided to leave as is.
