Welder cart

Attachment 4587Attachment 4589Attachment 4588Attachment 4590Attachment 4592Attachment 4591Ok here is project one for me. Ithougt it would be easier to start with a flat dolly that I had what a mistake. No matter how I turned it welder just would not sit right because had two pieces of angle in middle so had to cut off with o/a torch then weld 3/4" square tube braces in middle. Then started to build rack out of 1 1/2'x1/8" square tube for upper shelf and water cooler shelf. So here are some pics will post more as it comes together.:O

Here are more pics you can see where I had to remove the two angles from center of dolly and rewelded one further back then add two 3/4" tube braces and 1/8"X2" down center. Frame is mainly 1 1/2" square tube the small square in back is for cooler, welder and hi freq. will sit on bottom shelf and I will put plate and sides on top shelf to hold helmet and tools. More to come.

It's lookin good! Do you have locks on the wheels?

No just heavy duty fixed wheel on back and swivels on front. Thought useing flat dolly I had would would make life easier WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Just have to make due for now, think things out little better next time. Still trying to pick up fab. skills. If I can get about half as good as your work I will be very happy. Pratice pratice pratice:O

It looks good, I like teh idea of using what ya got. If we went out and bought all the material it would cost more than a store bought one. I was it Menards teh other day looking at tools and they had one for $59. I think Im getting close to that with my cart.

Attachment 4830Attachment 4831Attachment 4832Attachment 4833Attachment 4834Ok pretty much completed my cart heres some pics. Also threw in pic of shop I built with help of family and good friends. My cart is overbuilt it is a little heavy but it will do.:O

Looks good, very functional, better to over build than to have a flimsy cart. Shop looks great \, what size is it? If I had a shop like that the first thing Id put in it after 220v and a compressor is a car hoist.

Thanks shop is 40' deep and 50' wide with 2 12' rollup doors on front and 1 in back it has 200 amp panel 80 gal air compreser and a Foward 10,000 2 post lift. It was suppose to be for my golden years but my health kinda in crapper so I enjoy when I can.

I kinda like the welders on the bottom with the cart open on top like that. It could be used as a mobile tool cart if needed to.
