This is a welding cart I built to hold my Hobart Handler 210 MIG, my 120v sheet metal MIG, my plasma cutter, all of my helmets, goggles, and face shields, various clamps, and small tools/parts/consumables. I do most of my welding outside and my ranch driveway is made of asphalt grindings, so larger pneumatic wheels are a must. This thing is kind of an all terrain welding cart that puts all my equipment in one place (except my oxy/ace stuff) and I use it often.

The main bed is made from one of those receiver hitch expanded metal bike racks, cut in half and welded together. The second shelf is an old metal storage shelf I had sitting around. The other parts are all scrap that I got for free, including the bent pipe handle and center rack for storing helmets and hanging hoses/cords. The only things I bought for this project was the paint and Harbor Freight castering/non-castering wheels (on sale & coupon priced at $8 each).

That's is really awesome! I like the helmet rack and the all-terrain wheels!:rocker:

Hey Guam IS the USA! Stopped there on my way to Viet Nam, first tour and I was back for a few weeks doing an accident investigation for GM about a decade and a half ago. Spent some time on the windward side in '65 and I loved it - much more remote and exciting than leeward.

If you are talking about General Motors, I work for the same company that runs that dealership but in a different side.
