As some of you guys who know me know, I don't underbuild anything. So in my hopes to learn how to weld, once I got my welder it seemed like from everything I read a lot of people build a welding cart for their welder first, so I dug in.
Picked up an old wheelchair for $20 as I thought it would make for good wheels since it will likely be going back and forth between my house and my neighbors a lot.
Here's my progress pics from sunday.
Feel free to pick it apart and provide input as it's still a work in progress.
The plan was for it to have a shelf in the middle that the welder would sit on (up higher) and the cables and gun would go below but my buddie has convinced me to put a couple hooks to wrap the cables on loosely and add a couple drawers underneith for tools and stuff. Also the Chop saw won't be used up there, it's just for storage and transport. Although My buddie is trying to convince me to build "Winged shelves on either side" to support stuff so we could cut there, but I don't really want it throwing dust down into the welder..
