First real project - A Cart! Who would have thought!?

admin

Had fun making this. Got to practice a lot of corner joints. This is my first welder and I'm hooked!! I still have to add on some hooks for the leads and I'd like to paint it, and add some rod holders. Last edited by dump; 03-20-2014 at 02:50 PM.

Reply:I like it! Nice job. I also bought a TA 186 for my first tig. Love it. Still need to make a cart for it!Just a tip - throw away the Thermal Arc torch and get something smaller! I bought a WP17 from usaweld and it's awesome with this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/12-1-2-WP-17...-/140919153454
Reply:I have the Longevity 200EX, which is made in the same plant as the TA, and comes with the same torch.  I wouldn't throw away the torch because you will need a torch with a button from time o time, but I agree with Steve about the WP 17 deal from usaweld.
Reply:Those wheels look like they came from a small dresser.  You might go a size larger on those. .  Otherwise An;t it fun to put that stuff together and make something so nice.  First thing you know you will be building a car trailer.  Mac
Reply:Needs a handle and to be a foot taller so you dont have to bend down to make adjustments.  Very nice craftsmanship though!!
Reply:Looks nice.  I'm in the process of building one myself.  Your images showing dimensions is too blurry to read.  How long, wide, and tall is it?  I think I'm going to do a middle shelf but don't want the cart to be too tall.
Reply:Hey Dump Very nice! Need to build myself one for my plasma cutter.  Would love to get your drawing with dimensions to build for myself.Keep up the good work!Last edited by GKUSA; 03-20-2014 at 10:28 PM.
