Overkill cart

admin

Thought I'd post a few pics of my welding cart.  It was the first thing I built with my new Eastwood 175 (my first mig).  It is designed to hold both my welders, and two large cylinders, one for my CO2/argon mix and the other for straight argon, for welding aluminum.  Eventually, when I get the $$$$$$, I would like to take the Lincoln off and put a plasma cutter in its place.  Space is tight in my garage, so I wanted to fit as much as I could on the cart, and also have helmets, clamps, mig pliers, grinders all at arms' reach.  I have used it now on 3 different projects and am loving it.

Reply:Nice "save" with the plywood sides on the plastic spool..No government ever voluntarily reduces itself in size. Government programs, once launched, never disappear. Actually, a government bureau is the nearest thing to eternal life we'll ever see on this earth! Ronald Reagan

Reply:Look at the lower part of the spool on the far side just above the gun cable. Looks like the black plastic rim is broken, possibly form someone mishandling the spool. Usually we just toss the spools when that happens. I'm thinking he managed to "save" the spool by doing that..No government ever voluntarily reduces itself in size.

Reply:Originally Posted by Fabn4FunNo 3ph ... no shop ... not even a garage yet!  Rotary converter 20hp with a 1hp "pony" motor to start it.  Will post it as a project someday soon ...The laugh of the day is that it would like to have a 125A breaker ... it's on a 50A, and the whole house panel is only 100A!  That means it never gets turned up very high!   .
Reply:i too once built the obligatory rolling carryall..but i found that since i work froma very crowded garage, not a nice shop, i never ever roll it around..it serves as a welder and commonly-used handtool storage, but i found longer leads was the answer for me.. Attached Images
