I couldn't find a cart to suite how I wanted my oxygen / propane torch setup to be. So I'm making one.Uprights are 1-1/2 square tube, 1/8" wall thickness. Cross pieces are 1-1/2" square tube, 14? ga thickness. Handle across the top is 1-1/2" schedule 40 pipe. The diagonal kickers are 1/4".
Panel is 14 ga. And hose reel is 14 ga. I bent two C shaped pieces in my press brake. The round holes will eventually hold bottles for holding tips and little parts. The area in the middle is for random stuff.
I am planning on putting some spring clips to hold the torch on the side. And some spring clips on the back to hold the other cutting head or the rosebud head. And some clips for holding the lines so they can't get pulled too tightly from the regulators. I need to find a right angle adapter that goes between the regulator and the oxygen hose.Wheels are currently 10" solid rubber with integral 3/4" bearings. From McMaster-Carr, so hopefully decent quality. I cut the axle bracket so it can accommodate 10, 12, or 14" wheels. Generally I work in the shop with a pretty clean concrete floor. I also have some gussets with "speed holes" that I can throw shackles in a put a sling on the cart for overhead lifting.I am thinking of doing e-track fittings on both uprights so I can use an e-track ratchet strap for securing the bottles well. I never like the sloppy chains.
Reply:Nice. Do you think you will ever upsize propane tanks.
