Mobile Welding Station

admin

So a whilw back I started building a welding cart Original Thread but now I have added a few new things to it and have taken better pictures.I added on the cable holders to clean things up a bit, What do you think.

Reply:That's packing things pretty well, you have large enough tires to roll easy too. Nice!Matt
Reply:Very cool.  What's in the red box?....Is it a Tool box?
Reply:Yes it's a tool box, I've got all my supplies in there, consumables, grinders, gloves, etc Attached Images“Life is not a journey to the grave with intentions of arriving safely in a pretty well-preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out and loudly proclaiming ...

Reply:I love this message:“Life is not a journey to the grave with intentions of arriving safely in a pretty well-preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out and loudly proclaiming ... WOW! What a ride!” BUT!!  My main problem with it is I have crashed and burned so many times, I am broken, tattered and crippled and will be lucky if I can hobble long enough to even make to the grave.  I will most likely croak and need to have 6 men carry my sorry self to the grave)
Reply:Very nice setup man.    I gotta ask, because I used to be a Dewalt tool junkie, was in da box??????Come try it out and stay a while.

Reply:Here are my cable hangers I made up, the center is schedule 40 pipe and the sides are some heavy gauge stuff a friend got for me. How are my TIG welds? Remember I am just a home hobby guy and I have never had any formal welding training, I am pretty much self taught but have gotten pointers over the years from guys at work.

Reply:great idea. All you need to add now is a top so it works as a mobile welding table too
Reply:What kind of tool box is that?  I am looking for a narrow one.Thanks,ErnieThis cat does it doggie styleMiller Bobcat 225Miller Matic S52ACT520D TIG/Arc/Plasma

Reply:Yes it's a side box and I got it on sale at Harbor Freight. It is 10 times heavier duty than any Craftsman and was the cheapest price wise.It is one nicely built box, I was really surprised when I saw one at the local HF store.Side Cabinet $199“Life is not a journey to the grave with intentions of arriving safely in a pretty well-preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out and loudly proclaiming ...

Reply:That's a very good all-in-one design.You can get the HF 'US General' boxes for a pretty good price when they're on sale and you also print out one of the easy-to-find 20% off coupons.  I agree with bigwhitebeast that they're much better made than the Craftsman ones.Seeing this picture makes me think maybe it would make sense to rotate the box 90° so that you could access the drawers when it's against a wall.  I used one of the HF boxes (and a side cabinet) as a base for a workbench, and then painted it to match my existing Craftsman stack.Jack OlsenMy garage website
Reply:Jack Olsen you are a sick puppy.....that shop is WAY TOO CLEAN and organized. Want to come over to my place and fix mine up? Really nice shop.Bigwhitebeast, very nicely done. With four big wheels like that I would have expected headers coming out the sides and also the requisite beverage holder to be mounted somewhere.Very well thought out and fab'd. First class job.Congrats.Sign on East Texas payphone: Calls to God 40 cents......it's a local call...
Reply:I like those big tires too. I put some on my welding table so that I could roll it out of the garage when I needed space.UA Local 598
Reply:Very nice welding cart. I also have the same welders (HH125 & MM140) and was looking for inspiration for my cart. The tool box on back is great. How stable is the set up, if you're rolling it up an incline?
Reply:Yes Jack that shop is way clean, very nice. romanianbusinessman, the cart is pretty stable, it doesn't want to flip over backwards or anything like that but I wouldn't want to take any corners at 65 mph“Life is not a journey to the grave with intentions of arriving safely in a pretty well-preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out and loudly proclaiming ...
