Here's another cart if you're looking for ideas. I borrowed heavily from Jody's design and also used a lot of my own ideas, largely dictated by the materials I had available. Hope this helps.

As brain farts go, that's not too bad lol. At least there weren't witnesses.

Great job. Well done.
I didn't see any in the pics, might I suggest the addition of a fire extinguisher? just in case...

I'm thinking of something very similar to mount an arbor press to the side of my bench. Looks good.

I was just goofin' off when I made the guitar player. A musician friend of mine saw it and offered to buy the whole band. I have orders for a couple more but no two will be alike. Cheers.

Welcome. I think with a tool problem, the best one can do is learn to live with it.

UPDATE: I told the Airgas dealer that sold me my machines that they don't run 6010 and we got on speaker phone with Miller who insist it should run it fine. The rod I did the test with is Fourney 6010. The package says it will run AC or DC- or DC+. The Airgas and miller guys says that 6010 is DC onl...

I made this when I was seven. I thought it was lost years ago but found out today that my dad kept it.

Just because I had some sitting on my bench, I just tried some 6013. Maybe a little better but nowhere near what a good transformer machine does. Lucky for me I rarely stick weld and have my dad's old pipeliner machine should the need arise.

No doubt about it. I'm sorry to report that my 280DX does not like 6010 at all. With the dig set to 75%, it's doable but far from a smooth stable arc. My Lincoln 210 MP is a little better but I really can't recommend either machine for running 6010. They do, however, run low hydrogen rods quite nice...

Interesting project. Be sure to post up some more video when you get it all how you want it.
Cheers.

I'll pick up a small pack on Monday and see how it burns. Just for kicks I'll run some with my Lincoln 210 MP also for comparison.

I've had success repairing some prehistoric jaw crushers that had frames of three -ish inch thickness by using air carbon arc to vee the cracks out then welded with 7018 using numerous passes. I used no preheat per se but it was plenty hot after all the air arcing. Didn't have any procedures or anyt...
