Needed a roll around cart for my single Oxygen tank, couple of harbor freight wheels and some Blue powdercoat to match my cabinets and its done.

I did you support the bottom of the saw ? I have been looking at the swag offroad band saw table I really like the idea but it's about $150 and I am cheap

Most of the weight rest on the handle, I have a "nest" made of 3/8" square stock. See pic.

If I still had it I could give you some dimensions, but I bought a dedicated vertical metal cutting band saw. So I sold this one. I copied the hanging part from another guy on the internet. You could probably make it out of wood, he did, or some cheap steel easy to work with like angle iron. I made this one out of pipe to try out my Harbor Freight pipe bender.

Starting on a handrail/guard for the stairs up to the loft in my garage.
I thought I'd take a chance on using common black iron pipe from the local big blue box store.

Lesson learned; save the black pipe for plumbing. It was a major pain to clean this stuff up for welding, and then it welds like ****. I'm no weldor, and it's hard enough to weld these round joints, but then I kept running into contamination causing 'volcanos' that had to be closed up. Oh, and don't try to TIG with old oxy acetylene filler rod. Got me some fresh 70S-2 and things went a little better.

Still have to add all the 'horizontal' guard pieces. So far I've been cutting everything with a sawzall and angle grinder. The middle support ended up with some big gaps to fill when I ground out the wrong angle.
But there's just too many of the angled notch joints to do up, so I've ordered some metal cutting hole saws and will get a cheap notcher.

I'm giving up on the black pipe. I returned all the unused pipe, and will be buying some tube from a local metal supply to finish it.

I built this vertical band saw stand the other day, trying to save space with a smaller footprint I filled the base for concrete to compensate for this smaller footprint. I did add some tap holes to the bottom, see picture, so I can add Outriggers in case it was too Tippy. When cutting steel it doesn't seem to move at all, the only time it seems to be is when you're moving it around. So I think I'll leave it like it is.

That looks great. I bought a new swivel head 4"x6" band saw and decided to build a vertical band saw out of my old 4"x6" saw. It works well for the size of most of the projects I do.

That's what I had in mind, buy a cheap horizontal and turn it into a vertical, would suit my needs but then I came across this on CL for $100 so I jumped on it. Oh and I have a good size old Dake horizontal and have been eyeing those swivel head saws. They're so compact and would Prolly do all I need. Whereas the Dake is crazy accurate but it's also fairly large. Awesome job on the band saw conversion, looks great.

Nice work

There's tons of nice work in this thread. I'd like to see more of it continue. Here a small welding project I did the other day to mount a spare tire on my utility trailer.

Welding cart I completed, it took me about 4 months. brand new welders needed a new home. It's all Jody's fault (welding tips and tricks) and the power cord is long enough to get the cart in the alley out back.

Happy Hunting

Nice cart. You may want to invest in some off-road tires for it though.

Very nice welding cart there. Room for future growth too!

I was swapping a rear wheel bearing in Isuzu trooper and needed a tool to pull the bearing off the shaft. So I made one. I measured the bolt layout and drew it up in cad. Cut out the plates on our cnc plasma table.

Here's a recent project I've wrapped up. Building a '64 Parisienne for my dad. Took out the old 8.5 drop out diff and built a 9" for it. Took the opportunity to optimize the geometry and layout. Incorporated ride height adjustment along with alternate link mounts for when he takes it to the strip.

Interesting take on a cart. I guess you kinda of wheel burrow it to move it around? How about a close up of the axle for the large wheels.

 

[sberry]

The trailer is nice, its got big heavy wheels which are good.

Actully,
I was using it in my driveway, and someone driving by stopped.
Made me an offer I couldnt refuse, I Sold it!
It has quick release wheels on the back.
The problem with it was the roller blade wheels on the front, it needed swivel wheels.
Here is a picture of it during painting.

I do have another one in process as we speak.
The New one will have a 330cf Argon and a 390cf C25 Cylinder. On the Back.
It will also have the same kind of quick release wheels on the back.....

That's awesome! Do you have any additional photos or write-ups on your trailer?

fabricating a new mount for a electrical box on my newly acquired lathe shelves and a backstop off the same structure as well. this got out of hand fast!

 

[Crazyjake8493]

Welded me up a wall mount oscillating fan bracket. Simple weekend project. Gained some floor space this way.

Very clever! I'm stealing this idea.

Here are some more pics of trailer. I lost my before pictures when my computer crashed.

Im really digging that thing Very heavy duty trailer and excellent layout by the looks of things, much nicer than the rigs they are putting on the backs of lifted 3/4 tons that arent fit to leave the pavement

robson1015 if your hard drive didn't suffer a catastrophic failure you may well be able to recover your data later.

Nothing wrong with a price you can't refuse.
Please post progress on the new cart especially the wheels.

Some welding i just completed on a 84 bronco project. And yea, no pipe bender=lots of cuts.

Hey GJ-

This is my first welding project, a cart for my Hobart Handler.

It started as a tall Waterloo Craftsman box. The box had been owned by a friend, taken across country several times, and on its way back was dropped off a forklift. My friend gifted it to another friend who finally got tired of the barely functioning drawers.

So I decided to do the only logical thing and rip out all the hardware, salvage the good slides and drawers and cut the thing in half!

I then got some 16 or 18 gauge scrap, cleaned it up and welded the whole thing to a rectangular 3/4 square tube base. I painted her with Rustoleum Self Etching Primer, Rustoleum Hammered Black, and Rustoleum True Orange (?). I welded two sections of "Unistrut" to secure the bottle, and to accommodate a bigger bottle in the future.

My cylinder is a 55cfm from the good people at HTP.

No closeups of the welds though

 

[Scotts1200]

Nice job!
I love re-using scrap..

What size is your Hobart?

The bottle is way to small.
Small bottles, make your gas cost high.
I can get you 330cf Argon and 390cf 75/25 Argon/Co2
Owned Bottles not Least Bottles
Good Cert dates.
For $300 each filled..
in SouthEastern Michigan
Cost to refill here is $45-50 each

Thanks Scotts1200-
It is the 140, 110volt Handler. I really like it so far, although I think the ground clamp is a little chitsy.

I think HTP charges $12 or 15 to refill...the bottle was $100 filled. Someday I will upgrade but for now it will take me months to go through the other 2/3 of the cylinder.
