Dynasty DX Crazy Cart

admin

Well seeing I got my new Miller Dynasty 200 DX and the Coolmate 3, I decided to build a cart for both components. We have a small automotive repair shop and also do some welding and fabrication for a side line. For a hobby I restore old vintage gas pumps, Coca Cola Coolers and other items and customize some of them so when it came to building a cart I wanted to do something a little different and to fit into what I really needed while having a bit of fun doing it.I decided to go with the automotive theme while making it a practical cart. The cart is built all out of 1/8 th steel. It's total weight is 210 lbs making it a good sturdy cart with no flexing and feeling very sure footed when moving it around. To keep with the automotive theme I added the following:Mag wheels.- Custom built fenders.- Tail lights.- Custom front and rear bumpers and the rear bumper is a step bumper. I machined a trailer ball for it as well and added a small license plate representing our province of Newfoundland, Canada- I added the exhaust.- A spare wheel in the back that can be moved up to where the tank is when the tank is not on the cart (The tank is also used on my MM251).- A dashboard looking feature on it to store the Tig rods. Just on top of the dash is a windshield and by that is a removable rod to hang my Miller helmet on.- I made another small compartment by the windshield to put gloves in.- Extension cord reels on the rear and to dress them up we went with the NOS decals.- Just above the Coolmate 3, I integrated a full sliding drawer that's a must for all your incidentals.- A special hanging bracket for the foot control pedal.- I painted the cart with Base coat clear coat paint as well.To add the finishing touch to the cart I asked my buddy Brian who is about the best there is when it comes to graphic design to come up with a design for the cart. We tossed around a few ideas and he ran with it. My wife came up with and made the tank sock to hide the ugly tank as well to give it a cleaner look. I think the cart compliments the Dynasty 200 and making it a matched set.I think it turned out nice but I'll let you be the judge of that. Some ask why and my answer is why not!I call the cart "Crazy Cart" .

Reply:Lorrrd Tunderin' Jeeeezus Bye!!!!That is some really nice work.  From the pictures & video, the craftsmanship is excellent.  Fit & finish is very nice.  If you are not extremely pleased and proud of that cart, YOU SHOULD BE.I've worked with a few of your tribe that have re-located to Alberta.....Don't worry - it's only temporary - They miss their Rock, and want to come home.The two that I worked with the most, and for the longest period of time came from St. Anthony & Upper Island Cove.  One graduated from the College of the North Atlantic from the Multiskills program, the other was more or less self-taught (Yeah he needed a little more work, but he was head down, arse up, & go, and that's all anyone ask from an apprentice)The only thing that your wonderful cart is missing is a stereo speaker system to play "The Ode to Newfounland"I'll e-mail this thread to them.Later,Jason

Reply:It's absolutely beautiful.Not only esthetically outstanding, but the engineering is inspiring.The standard for welding carts has been pushed beyond what any commercial cart (that I have seen) has to offer.It makes me want to start building the extended feature welding table I dreamed up.  It's the one with the beer tap and the stripper pole.
Reply:Thats an awesome looking cart. I got to ask where did you get the stickers for the side panels.Great Work. By the way, what part of the rock are you from.

Reply:Well I finally got my Coolmate 3 hooked up to the Dynasty. Took some doing to get it all together but remember, I live on an island. My supplier kept seding me the wrong hook up stuff. Now that it's done it  makes a Hugh difference now when using the thing. The torch stays cool and that's perfect. You'll notice that the Argon tank is removed in the last picture. I removed it to place back on my MM251 for the spool gun but when designing the Crazy Cart I allowed for the removal of the tank and made the spare tire so that it could move up on the back to cover the hole in the back of cart when the tank was removed. I'm really impressed with that Coolmate 3.  Attached ImagesMiller 302 Trailblazer/Custom TrailerMillermatic 350P/Spool gunMillermatic 252Miller Spectrum 875Miller Dynasty200DxHypertherm Powermax 85Tracker CNC 4X8 Pro Table (Down Draft)Visit us @ www.specialtyrepairscustommods.com

Reply:Wow, man thats all I can say, Wow.I think that cart is more impressive than Miller's own '29 roadster.  I love the details, step bumper, mudflaps, portholes, dashboard dice, you have it covered.I looked at some of your other pics, you have some beautiful machinery there.  It is like a museum of awesomeness.Bravo, keep up the good work and how about more pics and movies

Reply:As much as I like the '29 roadster, for me the welder it pulls is the most fun.  Millions of people have built neat hot rods, this was the first welder with a Roush  V8 and Zoomies I had ever seen.Thats why I like the crazy cart and the gas pump entertainment center and the Coca-Cola Cash reg.  I am always coming up with ideas to combine and customize stuff that you don't see every day.   I never get around to doing it.  Not only do you come up with the never before done idea, you then produce one that looks like it rolled off the assembly line in what ever decade you want. Any one of the collections in that video, the vintage Honda's, the gas pumps, the pedal cars, the pin ball machines (I could go on)  is a collection that anyone should be proud of.  Taken all together the are nothing short of awe inspiring.  At least to me, and I am sure you are quite pleased with it to
