My take on a MIG cart...

[RudyO]

Gonna be doing a lot of welding in the near future, so started with the obligatory 1st project... Not bad from an old bed frame.

Nice job. What's the radiused tank cradle made from?

Also, what machine's going on it?

Nice Im building mine at some point soon too, nice job on the tank holder, I havnt figured out how I want to do mine yet.

Is it powder coated? Looks like it, nice job man.

Aaahh.. the tank holder. Bought a HF welding cart a while back, and it was so flimsy that this is the only part I used. The cart will be carrying a Lincoln SP-125 Plus, and is painted Rustoleum Orange.

I bought an HF welding cart for my plasma/tig combo. For $50 bucks I could have made a much better cart. I didn't even install the POS castors it came with. Installed a larger heavier set.

Thats exactly what I did!! Took one look at the casters and tossed em in the scrap pile. Was that the grey cart made of tin and pot metal bolts?

The one I have is blue. The sheet metal is ok. Yes the bolts are a joke.

Building a new cart is on the list.

I know exactly which one you're talking about... we snagged one to put our Powermax 1250 Plasma on and it was a joke... I basically used the uprights and the shelves but made a new base with a wider stance and bigger casters... it was a good starting point but honestly the cart out of the box is a joke.

Nice work.

One of the first things I did was build a TIG cart. No paint for me though.
