I've had this done since sometime this spring, finally got around to posting it here.
I picked up a scratch & dent box at Sears last Nov. for about 77$, took the casters off and mounted it to the 1" square tube frame I welded up. The box is sitting on a couple of oak boards I attached to the frame so the box lip would not get in the way. The caster were welded on and that worked out well, no drilling holes
.
I have a chain holding the tank plus a couple pieces of angle at the base for extra stability. One thing I wish I did different was use a piece of rectangle plate instead of round for the tank to sit on. Not really a big deal though.
I also got a round magenet and have a bolt run through the hole for a hanger for the ground cable (not pictured). The handle for towing is 1/2" galv. pipe anchored w/ a 5/8 grade 0 bolt held on with two pieces of angle welded to the frame (also not in the picture, added recently).
I do need to paint it yet (the frame) hopefully sometime in the next month or so I'll get the chance to do so. Overall, I'm happy with how it turned out.
I now have a place for my welder and plenty of storage for accessories, wire, gear & for the moment, my abrasive's & grinding stuff.
