Wire Welder cart
Posted: Sun Nov 27, 2011 7:11 pm
I got tired of lugging my wire welder and all its accessories and tools whenever I needed it.
It always took multiple trips to get everything to where I wanted to weld.
Now, the stick welder is somewhat fixed - being 220 volt - so all the work for it comes to its location.
But the wire welder at 110 volts goes anywhere there is an outlet.
So, I started thinking about some kind of cart....searched the forum, photohost and google for ideas.
Was not looking forward to building one from scratch = wheels, axles, wheel framework, shelves, etc., etc.
Then I saw a photo where someone used an old lawnmower as a starting point....Hmmmm, several mowers laying around the house.
Here is what I began with:
and here is the final product:
The top is an old bread tray...It lifts right out if the tools need to go somewhere solo.
