A few weeks ago I bumped into an argon/CO2 bottle and knocked it over. It broke the regulator. Fortunately the valve was shut off. Right then I decided it was time to build a welding cart. I've been fighting leads and hoses and having my arc and mig welders under foot. So this is what I came up with. Arc welder on the bottom, room behind it for a 50 pound box of rod plus a bunch of smaller boxes. The mig shelf has a trough for spools of wire and there is a shlf on the back fro the bottles. A piece of #2 machine chain with an spring in the middle keeps them snugged up to the cart. 10 inch wheels on the back and locking casters up front. A rack for two or three grinders. It consolidates my welders into a much smaller footprint.

Nice cart setup! I’d suggest you find a better way to store your wire though,( even plastic bags). Dust, grit, grindings, etc on the wire spools will cause problems with your whip’s liners & rollers for sure.

I have a bunch of heavy gallon ziplocks. I think I'll bag them up. Thanks for the heads up.

I certainly agree with putting your wire under cover and sealed as well, only takes a small amount of moisture to make the whole roll bad

How do you move that around as well, do you just push and pull or am I missing a handle for pulling it around

For all those DIY’ers following this thread, as an extra safeguard, I always clipped a pad-type wiper with tip cleaner on the wire before it went into the rollers.

In the second picture you see a little bit of the rebar handle.

a power strip that is mounted to the cart so the grinders can just stay plugged in

then you can leave the wire brush on one , a flapper on the next and you just grab and use they are already plugged in hanging on the stand.

Best advice on this thread. I thought they were a gimmick but was having issues with wire feeding and tried them. Been using them ever since,

Nice!

Organization makes me feel good!

I store-bought my cart.....

Should these have a designated fire extinguisher spot?
I once saved an accident with one.
It was expired but worked.
I remembered its location when the
air compressor caught fire.

I like it Marty, well done!!! You need to buy more traps now lol.

You might consider adding one more chain or strap. Too the upper portion of the tall tank?

Thanks for sharing this project, with us.

Nicely done!

The miller 211 fits on the cheap harbor freight cart. I bolted the non door side to the cart and the door side is up on the lip so the door will open. Its solid. I welded some angle to the bottom so the front wheels were outrigged. I added rebar stakes for holding the cutting and grinding wheels. I thought I was doing pretty good but you guys impressed me. I need some grinder hangers now.

Like ,and love my 211.
