Another welding cart

[Colly2020]

Needed a welding cart for my Sherman tig welder. What yous think. Made it out of an old hand cart.

You might have to tweek the differential, how's the balance.

Nice bit of upcycling, well done. How's the bottle secured to the trolley?

Bad balance is what forced me out of the trade years back. Tipped a bottle trolley back, didn't catch the balance right and my spine got crunched; that was the beginning of the end of my career in welding.

Balance is good. Without bottle still won’t tip with the welder on it.

Got my idea from this. Seen it on the Jasic site. Though I would try and make one seen. Had an old hand cart in work so just cut it up and used that as a starting point.

Good point, as you will have to change the bottle at some time.

You MIG welded a TIG welder cart?

Surely that's not legal?

I know only had aluminium rods. Have only done aluminium welding with it so far. Will get some steel rods sometime lol

Well, come the morning the TIG welder will be laying on the floor on its side; welds will have given way. The MIG welder will have got the huff and sabotaged the penetration.
