Yup, another Welding Cart

admin

Last year for Christmas I got a Hobart Tigmate.  I've since taught myself how to stick metal together with it.  Up until today my cart has been a furniture dolly.  It worked, but I thought I could do better.  I picked up some scrap from the local scrap yard and came up with this:and here's some pics of some of the welds. There's some undercutting and I am not terribly consistent yet.  I'm hoping to pick up some valuable info at Zap's class.Next Sunday it'll get paint and finally be done.  I've only been able to work an hour or so each evening on it.Ryan Attached Images
Reply:great cart.    holy crap that motorcycle rim hanging on your wall took a beating .. what in the world did you hit?
Reply:The silver one was back from my squidly days, wheelie gone wrong.  The only thing that broke was the rim and the tail light, everything else on the bike was fine save for some rash.  The blue one is a 16.5" rear that I blew apart at BeaveRun in '05.  The bike cartwheeled a few times...  Crappy thing is the bike had 2 laps on it, and I had just CNC'd that rotor.  The rim was originally for a Suzuki with a quick change setup.  I machined the rim, made new spacers and the rotor to get it to work on my Honda.   A lot of work for less than 4 miles.Ryan Attached Images
