Yet Another Cart

admin

After getting tired of the el cheapo Harbor Freight welding cart, I decided to make my own.  Our local steel yard had some odd shaped pieces at really low prices.  So, I fished through it and found enough 2" square tubing to make this.  There was an awful lot of work with a cup brush to get it clean.  I bought the wheels at Harbor freight.

Reply:War Eagle guys!!! Here are some pics after painting.  It was actually still drying when I took the pictures.  There were some gouges in the sheet metal, so those are the irregularities you see on the top of the shelves.  I used Rustoleum High Gloss Enamel over primer.  If I had it to do over again, I would use the Tractor implement paint that Tractor Supply sells.  It seems to be more durable.

Reply:That's  a good lookin' build, but you're gonna wind up hating those little front casters. I finally took off the ones that came on my Miller mig cart and put some HF 4" swivels on the front. The little ones would get hung up on a mouse turd!                                                   MikeOl' Stonebreaker  "Experience is the name everyone gives to their mistakes"Hobart G-213 portableMiller 175 migMiller thunderbolt ac/dc stick Victor O/A setupMakita chop saw
