Gas Welding Bottle Cart

[wruehl]

I made this about ten years ago with a cheap HF tubing bender. I got the wheels from them as well when they where on sale for $4.99 a piece. Works great, just have not gotten new bottle since I moved. Interestingly enough, the bottles that where in this cart when I lived in PA, where given to someone I knew there. He had a fire in his garage and the bottles detonated (they where 1/2 full). The firemen said it leveled the 2 story 4 car garage, and half of the 5 bedroom house.

Nice job.. Looks like something store bought.

Thanks Haywire, after I built it I bought a better bender as the bow and arrow type leave small dents on the tubing. I think if I did it over again I would have used some bicycle wheels instead. the harbor freight knobbys are ok, but the larger wheels would roll easier.

Wreuhl,
To make it OSHA happy, a metal divider should be placed down the center as a "fire wall". Strange how this design worked for years, now it is being said it is unsafe and on a job site OSHA will fine you for having it.

Should they stumble unannounced into my shop they might just find themselves sporting a few extra holes. Now if I know they are coming, ill just chain the bottles to the wall and use the cart as a plant stand till they leave. ;-)
