Welding Tips and Tricks

Hi All,

Just finished one of my third projects, a welding cart build. Quite happy with how it turned out, however I really need to work on my fit ups as there was some times a few big gaps I needed to fill in .

Layout: Water cooler on the bottom, Welding Machine on the second and a top table for my mask, gloves etc. I have hooks on the second shelf for my welding torches and tubes all around for my filler material. On back naturally is the 100% Argon bottle.

Look forward to hearing what you guys think!

Nice compact setup.

Nice cart, good fab work there. What brand machine is that?

LanceR, thanks I was going for super compact as I need to move it though some tight spaces here at the factory on occasion. I also made sure the bottom could fit onto our electric forklift so if I am doing things high up on shelving or anything I can lift it up to where I am on the step ladder.

LtBadd, Thanks. I'm afraid to say its a Chinese brand machine called Andeli WSME-500. I am a British Expat living in China and its the most reasonable machine I could get my hands on out here. The American machines imported (Lincoln, Miller etc.) are extremely expensive out here and seeing as I'm just starting I went for this to begin with. Its a AC/DC Stick/TiG welder that goes from 15 to 500 amps. I can't ever think when I would need 500 amps, but never mind, maybe one day.
