Another newbee, another welding cart

Thought I would post pics of my first project.

Hmmmmmmmmmm, That design looks very familiar???? Looks good man

[MB2005]

I've looked at many designs, including the most recent one floating around on this site. Took inspiration from many, but built the thing to fit my equipment

[rustywrangler]

Not a big deal man. Mine is one of the more recent ones, that is why I was makin the joke. It looks like it will fit your needs well.

In that case thanks for the clamp hanger idea. I read that you were having trouble deciding on a good way to mount the rear wheels. I used cotter pins, and a 5/8 axl that runs all the way through. the tank sits right on the axl to support the weight. The wheels stick out 1/2" from the back past everything else, that way i can go up curbs and such.

Looks plenty good nuff to me.

That thing looks pretty good with clamp rack cable hooks and etc. One thing I would do is come down on handle aways bent it back past the tank valve. Might be a little more handy.

Good job on the cart!

[MB2005]

LarryM, I built the cart for a 40cf tank. Soon I found out that the nearest gas supplier is 30mi. from my house. So bought a 90cf, and its a little big. It does not get in the way though. Im fabing a tank clamp that will allow me to bolt the tank in place using 1 1/2" steel straps and 3/8 bolts. Ill post pics as soon as i finish.

Looks good. How do you like the Dewalt automotive type air compressor? I've been thinking about getting that same model.

[MB2005]

CHS, Its a great compressor. Fills to 200psi. It will run any airtool i've used nonstop. All the dewalt tools I own seem to last forever, and i'm not nice to my tools

I guess all newbee's get their feet wet building a cart like this. I will be starting on mine this weekend. I hope it looks as good. Nice job.
