After buying myself a welder a while ago, I have finally got round to starting my first project! I am building a trolley to put an audio multicore cable holder on (it is rather heavy, so needs a decent set of castors!).
First job was to cut the tube to size, and layout ready to be tacked
Having done the tacks I welded the outer frame, and then started to drill holes for the wheels. Having got a couple of bolts in for each caster I could position the extra bars to bolt the castors to.
Pretty rubbish photos (just off the phone), but I am pleased with how the welds have turned out (for my first real project)
I still need to finish off drilling all the holes to bolt the castors too, and then weld on some short uprights to stand the multicore frame into. This will mean that the trolley base can be taken off the frame if needed in the future.
I will try to add some more photos at the weekend, when hopefully it will all be finished... and will try to take the photos on a proper camera!
