Making a DIY Welding Cart 

That re-purposed tubing is gold! You just opened my eyes to another world. I come across tons of old discarded machines and metals and have never thought that far ahead. I’m new to welding so I suppose a small truck is next on the to buy list. Thank you for the idea!!

The thing I most like about this design, compared with many others on YT - the bars down the side of the welding machine - some very welcome protection -- after all, they tend to be at the more expensive end of our workshop investments ...

Great build! I'm borrowing some of those ideas for my cart - using the angle iron for the tank, the mesh for the shelf, and the square stock for the flanges under the shelves.

Nice cart. Thanks for the video. I always pick up thrown away treadmills, weight benches and other gym equipment. Usually some nice steel to work with.

Nice job! The curved rails from the treadmill was a great idea!

Great welding cart build, I love it. I’m a little concerned about sitting a gas bottle on the expanded metal floor, it looks a little flimsy.

Just an FYI, anytime you drill a hole through square tubing, you should always put a washer on both sides of the bolt and but /or fasteners to distribute the weight evenly throughout. The hole that the back wheels bolt through, will eventually start" egging out" , especially if there is more weight over the hole. Good build.

Nicest one I have seen -- strong, functional, good looking -- Thanks!

I just finished my welding cart a few days ago. Nice design!

Just picking up the welding and machining hobby. Excited about this trying to build this cart. Then I saw "First start out with a $1000.00 welding table............ :-)

Better quality than any of the big box stores. 👍

Wow! That turhed out pretty freaking awesome!

Very nice build and looks a hell of a lot stronger than store bough. Great stuff

The cart came out very nice ! Thanks for sharing ! I like learning. Your techniques and seeing the tools you use it was unfortunate that my Grandfather. Who was a professional welder. His entire life passed away before i was old enough. To learn. From and as a adult i. Always wished he could have taught me Many of the things he figured out as i have looked and admired some of his fine craftsmanship and wisely engineered Products my own father did teach me about working with my hands a great deal including a little about welding but largely because he had his Dad do most of his welding my Dad wasn’t that good at it other than being able to make. Structurally good welds that didn’t necessarily look the best where my Grandpa always made very good looking welds ? My Dad was more a carpenter than a metal fabricator. Yet my Granfather began his career as a body and fender man utilizing lead as a. Filler And mostly hammer and dolly work So he was kind of a metal artist originally one of the coolest things he made was a steel nativity seen we still use. At Christmas it includes the Wisemen And animals all made from. Small pieces of metal. Welded together and the. Small welds are done like art since he didn’t grind them to smoothness

Slick... gave me some ideas for my new tig set up... thank you

Great job on making the cart. I got a lot of watching the build.

Nice Job!

cool craftsmanship

I like the curved portions of your cart. I might incorporate that for a cart for my everlast welder.

Beautiful and useful. Great job.

Very good job and nice video. Thanks.

Parabéns, bom trabalho amigo 👏👏

Very nice

great job dude !! and you painted it my favorite color

Very nice, congratulations.

Nice Cart ,look's really Good ,thanks

lovely

Damn it. Very nice.

I have a similar cart but not quite as heavy duty. Very nice.

I really liked that. Thanks.

nice welding bench

Good job!

Awesome cart!!!

Love that cart nice job

Cada dia se aprende algo nuevo... que no sea lo ultimo

I want to make a cart to hold three of my Everlast machines. One mig welder, one tig welder and a plasma cutter. I could probably use the same basic design as you and just lengthen it a bit.

Cool design! Nice job! Really need to get mine finished.

WOW, like a bought one! Good job I will make 3

Nice work, the curved pieces make it hi-tech!!..Like it!!

Very cool

Fantastic video. I’m glad your video found me :). I just started metal working and I could benefit from something like this. Hope your having a fantastic weekend.

this is nice thanks for sharing

awesome work looks great

Bom trabalho 👍👏

Nice project. My advice is that you should forcus to make the weld straight before trying to to some thing more advanced like making those eeeeeeeeeeeee patern.

That was awesome

Gostei muito. Achei simples e bem-feito. Parabéns!

Really nice.

Bravo i like your work very much good luck man

Congratulations....! Great job ....!

Nicely done, subscribed.

I am so gonna copy this.

Thats cool

Weld done.

That Came out Bad Ass Bro!!! Very Nice! And i love the round bars from the treadmill. It looks really good! Thanks for Sharing!

you make good stuff! Beatufil

2020 and loved it! you earned a new subscriber

I am glad that my son is a professional fitter/welder. He knows that clamps till not prevent distortion from welding and so we would not waste time clamping ^&*( down to a table once it is set up.

Nice job!! Good video. I just wonder how many people on this thread have all the toys you have. Probably have to do a video of you cutting all that stuff with a hacksaw....LOL. That would be me.

Awesome

"Take two." LMAO. Been there. ~P

Did you add some support under the metal where the tank goes? tank is heavy, very nice build.

Nice

super.

Hola buenas noches me interesa ese producto

Great cart... welding could be alot better

way better then the junk they sell. nice solid build

GD I laughed so FH at those first 7 seconds.

The welds look cold on the first bits welded to me??? Nice cart I like the design.

Very cool welding cart and super Video! :-)

What is the wheel size and wheel base size of cart?

Hello, I just saw your video which interested me for the realization of my cart for my welding station. Very nice video. If you don't mind, I will be inspired by it. Could you tell me the section of the tubes and their thickness please? Thank you in advance - (waived for my bad English: google translation)

Отличная тележка. Хочу себе такаюже. Можете скинуть размеры. Спасибо заранее.

Hallo kanst du mir bitte die Masse zu schicken Gruß Gerd

Don't let this distract you from the fact that 10 years ago Brian Ortega was given a choice.

You're great man how do u get those dislikes? I don't get it😕.. Great job man 👍

i bought a cheapo welder from HF... good enough for a beginner and any projects i'll do... reading the manual (yes, i actually READ the manual) a few things. the welder goes to 50amp yet in the manual they say use a l6-30 plug....i'll probably never crank this sucker up to magma heat so probably not a biggy... they also say DON'T use a gas tank that is over 18" high - what the hell is THAT about?? can you shed any light on this?

what size square tubing is that? and the thickness also? please .... thanks..

Show ✌️

What are the measurements on the square tubing

Nice build, What were you dimensions on the base frames like how long and wide

I hope u can teach an old man new tricks. Concerning power controllers used to power a dc motor on a wood lathe or for that matter any woodworking tool. Do all, some or what accept regular 110 house current as power input or is there some that require only dc power input? Just a bit confused in reading the descriptions to some on Amazon, ebay, etc. Sometimes neither is mentioned and I wonder if I’m just stupid or missed something. I have my wood lathe running with a dc motor through the MC-60 that came on the same treadmill. I was wondering if you could just avoid using the mc-60 altogether and use a power controller. Hope u can teach an old dog new tricks. Thanks a lot Oh I forgot, on my wood lathe where I have the dc motor running through the mc-60, I want to fix it where it will run forward and reverse. I have a DTDP switch wire up and ready to install & I wanted to know if I could piggy back to the connectors inside the mc-60 where the power and motor are connected? In other words can I connect the DTDP switch wires onto the same posts where they are connected to the Mac-60? If this isn’t clear please let me know and I’ll try to go from another direction. Thanks Oh, one more thing, whew! On RU-vid I have noticed different people designating which wires go where. Some say the 2 middle wires(on the DTDP switch) go to the power while some say they go to the motor. Can u shed light on this? Finally THANKS

U could more a car on that build

Whats the name of that song playing from minute 1 to minute 4?? thats nice music, great video.

Can you open the side door on your MIG welder with those rails where they are? Seems like that would be the drawback of this design. Any changes you’d make doing it a second time? I’m also repurposing material to make a welding cart, and nearly boxed in my machine with my design.

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Did you make the stand for the portable bandsaw?

Nice job! The front casters look larger then 3", and the threaded shaft is how tall? Amazon says the shaft is "Stem Size: 0.5" Tall x 0.25"". They look larger in the vid. Thx.

I wonder if anyone has made a welding cart out of a Smarte Carte. $5 seems like a reasonable price for a welding cart.

I have a welder like the welder u have not the tig the other if u want it for parts let me now

Mi puoi inviare le misure del carrello saldatrice

Great vid really enjoyed that . Hate haling the welder round a site 😂 Have put some of my work up check it out let me no what you think any advice from you would be amaziy👍

how many millimeters is the iron

What aquares are you using? Never seen any like that. I want some

I'm still getting used to the idea that I can use wood as a guide when cutting with my plasma cutter,, lol

I have a question I just bought a welder I've been using flux core I want to use gas What size cylinder should I get . 40 ,80 How long will each cylinder last

nice build, planning to change my old cart, what size of tube did you use? Is it 1x2" tube? thanks.

I like the kart it really does look nice but you should at least give some credit to (This Old Tony) for the round bars idea.
