Welding Tips and Tricks

I recently bought a lincoln promig 180 and thought of made a cart for her as my very first mig project..

Mig welding newbie..

Im using a farm equipment chain to secure the gas bottle..







My original plan is to bolt the chain but im having trouble bolting it..

So a came up with an idea of fabricating a pin..







Now it's more easier to lock and to unlock..

Cable reel..

Then i made a cabinet for storing mig wire and some other stuff..

Fabricating mig gun holder out of 18 gauge stainless sheet..

A holder for mig plier and mig gun holder..

Hope youre not bored for uploading so many pics in my post..

Thanks for viewing!

Very nice looking cart. It looks like you have plenty of clamps and equipment to turn out a quality product. Keep up the great work.

Like The Block wall look of the shop
drawers are a nice touch
the yellow goes well in the shop
craftsmanship great

an idea, rasie top shelf for the mig and make it center pivot to swing the mig cabling up out of way for smaller storage foot print, with a down angle when in use

Nicely executed, and well documented - thanks for sharing! That cart isn't falling apart anytime soon.

I like your chain solution for securing the tank; only thought is how to make it adjustable to support different tank diameters as you swap refills. (Add/remove links?) I thought I had a plan until someone mentioned that wrinkle.

Cheers,
Richard

Thank you very much for the kind words guys

Great looking cart, i like the pin u fab up. I aslo love the makita poster, in my opinion no shop should be without a half naked woman hanging around, i have several. Keep up the nice work.

Nice cart. Well done!
I've been trying to decide on what drawers to put on my cart ... thought of these with drawer slides

All the way down - very nicely done. I always like to see other folks approach to things. Great work!
Thanks for the effort to get it on here. Love to see tools and equipment where there was a lot of thought put into it and in your case it is obvious. You have design skill as well as execution skill. The bottle holder is a nice touch.
Never be reluctant to put this kind of thing up.

Very nice indeed.

thanks toni..looking forward to see your welding table project..keep us posted

again thanks to all the wonderfull comments

Looks really good.

This is really a nice project...good amount of thought and planning, as well as good workmanship. I like it a lot. The yellow color is a good contrast with the Lincoln red.

Bugel,

Very nice cart, welding table, and numerous other stands and equipment support racks. I can see you strive to pay attention to the details. Do you draw/document your designs as well? Do you have access to some CAD programs to make drawings? I can see a modification to your cart will be required to mount your new TIG welder (future purchase?). When you get your new TIG welder, don't forget to join the TIG Partaholics anonymous club (no one is immune).
