Just figured I would post up my little project of the day. I just wanted to have a nice sturdy welding cart, and a medium duty fabrication table. The basic layout is similar to another guy's on the GarageJournal.com, but I did my own little detail to work better for me. It's obviously not finished yet, but its what i was able to get done beofr the wife got home. I have everything to finish it, except for the top. I will get that soon.
You can see in the background my old welding cart.... I whipped it up real quick when we first moved here with some scrap angle iron I had. Its WAY underbuilt even for just a welding cart. With two welders, and a full size argon tank, the small frame and little casters are at the limit for sure!
I used 11 guage 1.5" square tubing for the main frame, 1" 11 gauge square tube for the acillary and cross supports, and 3/8 rod left over from another project for the push handles and clamp hangers. I also had a set of decently heavy duty casters that i have been saving for a project like this. Time will tell if they are strong enough, if not I will re-group.
