First Project wait for it.. a cart!

admin

I have been hanging out on this sit for quite awhile now and have finally got up to posting pics of my first welding project.  I had never touched a welder before Christmas and i got a Lincoln ProMig 180!  I have been wanting one so I could build my own smoker.  I figured I would start with a cart and next is a welding table.  Enough talk on with the pics.  Sorry i didn't take enough while in progress. I was too excited to stop!I also knurled the silver part on the handle, mainly because I have been learning how to use a lathe too.I have always been into woodworking and my Dad is a metal nut.  I figured i had better learn how to use all of his tools while i have a teacher.  I can't figure out what I have been waiting on!  This is way better than woodworking!!!

Reply:Originally Posted by nadogailYou will notice the cart has wheels on one end only. You can lift the handles and roll the cart; but when you let the handles down, it is stopped. Sort of like a wheel barrow.
Reply:Is that a tank sham, or tank treatment maybe?  You just got sucked into ironwork. City of L.A.

Reply:Thanks for the compliments! As for the tank cuzi I thought the ugly green tank messed up my nice cart.  As for the 2 wheels that was a mistake I will probably fix.  I don't move it very far, but I realized really quick that steel gets heavy fast!  I made this project out of scrap from my Dad so it is heavier than need be. All 10ga material.  I am going now to pick up some more scap and some thinner material I had to buy.Thanks Again!
Reply:tank cozy-i am rolling on the floor laughing (rolf)!!! BUT i am really confused, if you got the scraps from dad (a confessed woodworker) how did you nail, err uh, weld them together? with that endless nail gun the other guy mentioned? (rofl!!) FINALLY-closed circuit to "Hardware" is that a beemer in the sig?  1988 k100 myself!! woo hoo!
