Poor Mans Welding Cart Build

[PurpleZj]

Guys I won’t have any updates for awhile. We are having to move out of our rental and it looks like we are going to end up in a duplex since there are so few good options where we live. I’m losing my shop but luckily the duplex has a two car garage and an unfinished basement. It’ll be snug so I’m going to have to downsize big time on tools i don’t absolutely need and get creative with layout so the cars still fit. I will update when Things get rolling.

I feel your pain. I am in process of building my shop. We moved last October to this house. Wife loved it. No garage. I jammed all of my tools into two sheds (one was here, I brought the other with me) and the attic of the house. Nothing like going rooting through the attic looking for a tool when a car shits on me. Can not wait to get the shop built.

Oh that sounds awful. Luckily between the garage and basement and purging ******** with a dumpster as we move I should be able to keep most everything decently organized. But only time will tell. I’m glad you have the shop as a light at the end of the tunnel. We will probably be in this duplex for the next couple years until we are able to buy. But the goal is land and a shop

We found a house and start moving next week. Has a decent over sized garage so hopefully I’m able to have a decent amount of room for projects

Lol between the project foxbody, the wifes car, my car and my desire to never scrape a windshield in the morning in winter that’s not gonna happen. But until winter my daily will sit outside so I have room to work on projects and the foxbody.

I had a 1.5 car garage at my last house. I always had a project in there. I welded a receiver tube to a 12"x12"x1/4" plate with four 1/2" holes in the corners. Put some studs in the floor at the back wall of the garage (under my tool chest). Then I had a winch that slid into the receiver tube when needed. Made it easy to drag dead cars up the driveway into the garage. When I had a project other than the car, I would push the car out into the driveway then winch it back in at the end of the night. Annoying, but you gotta make due sometimes.

That’s a great idea. In the house I grew up in we sunk a stud into the floor and would hook a come along to it to hand winch dead cars into the garage. Lower tech version of yours basically
