A little something I built today.

I have had my Oxy-acetylene setup for about a year now and I have had to drag it around everywhere that I needed it. So I built a cart for it.  :thumb: FrontBackAnd in going with my new theme of useing something automotive with everything I build for my garage I added this.Loaded

Reply:Love it, thanks for sharing
Reply:Very good design and nicely done.
Reply:Thanks again. I haven't started the cart again. I got busy with work and "life" in general.
Reply:I have come to realize that the better your cart looks, The crappier the refilled  tanks look , that they give you.  Excellent job with the cart!
Reply:For you guys looking for any kind of cart axles , look no farther then the neighbor that has his old self propelled lawn mower sitting next to the road for the city to haul off due to hitting that huge root that bent the crankshaft at a  20 degree angle. Rip out the axle , remove the gears,throw away the gear box, and  you have a high tempered shaft, complete with snap ring grooves . Any lawn mower  shop will have the bearings to match the inside dimentions and what ever outside you choose to use (up to 1 inch).Just dont try to tow it behind a car or truck because they spin so easily..........

Reply:his pretty cart reminds me of about 25 years ago, i was in woodward , oklahoma , welding at a yard that built oil well drilling rigs . i saw some fabulously be-yute-tiful welding trucks , the owners (of those trucks) came looking for a job. The superintendant looked over the truck , fabulous paint job, with murals on the Lincoln welder , carpeted deck on the bed, bbq; the whole 9 yards -then the supe would say , "no, i can't use you . " he figured the guy would be too afraid of messing up his rig, to get any work done .
Reply:great job just curious...what does in weigh?...zap!I am not completely insane..Some parts are missing Professional Driver on a closed course....Do not attempt.Just because I'm a  dumbass don't mean that you can be too.So DON'T try any of this **** l do at home.
Reply:That is one of the nicest carts I have seen. But the best part is the slot for the torch. Everyone always forgets a place for the torch. You get BIG kudos from me for both form and function. And now....I think I will steal your idea and build one for myself....thank you very much.heheLincoln Power Mig 210MP MIGLincoln Power Mig 350MP - MIG and Push-PullLincoln TIG 300-300Lincoln Hobby-Weld 110v  Thanks JLAMESCK TIG TORCH, gas diffuser, pyrex cupThermal Dynamics Cutmaster 101My brain
