Hardware/ tool store actually! I liked the smaller size cart.

Re: Lets see your welding carts!!
Ours is a set of handtrucks with trays welded on to hold the bottle and welder. Doesn't take up much floor space and it easy to move around.

This is my weldin' cart ^ https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-o...520%252002.jpg And this is my oil change cart for under the lift. It has angled shelves for oil filters and I scalped a cheap tool box for a couple drawers. I rearranged the GMC emblems (my initials) https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-C...520%252001.jpg |

Re: Lets see your welding carts!!
I guess I will start with an HB cart just get going, but I will need to modify it at some point unless I use pure Argon to MIG with, I will need to rack 2 bottles as my welder will can both MIG and TIG. with 2 bottles and 2 regulators/hoses, swapping will take about 30 seconds.

Did you use the wheels that came with the tool box for the frame wheels? What size angle is that? I have been trying to decide what type of welding cart to buy or make - think I just made a decision :) |
Re: Lets see your welding carts!!
Quote:
the angle is 1-1/2 x 1-1/2. for me I needed somewhere to store all the welding stuff. jacket,gloves, helmet,clamps,mig wire,ect.... glad that you liked it....I see a lot of nice ones above mine in here that look very nice,but I needed somewhere to put things. |

Rich1028: I have to admit to blatant theft. I borrowed / stole your idea. I liked your cart so much I built one using yours as an example. Sears had that box and it was on sale, looks like it being discontinued :)
I used 1-1/2 x 1-1/2 x 1/8 angle for the frame and bottle support. 1 x 1/8 flat stock for the bottle supports. 1/4 x 4 flat stock (cut to 4 x 4) for the wheel supports. 5/16 x 1 and 5/16 x 3/4 bolts for the wheels. Up till this point my welder had been used mainly for repairs, this was my 1st real welding project. I did all the welding, with my son pointing me in the right direction. He is a welder by trade. The first 2 pics are the new welding cart. The last is what I was using. The old one was a nursery cart but it served well for a number of years. The welder lived in the barn with a gravel floor until I closed in a couple bays and laid concrete for the shop. |
