![]() ![]() Casters off and you can see the dent-age (I’m making up words!) ![]() Since I was also planning to throw a plasma cutter on top (more load than already) but I still like my little cart I decided to reinforce it. ![]() Yeah, that’d be the floor starting to cave in.Ĭheck underneath, sure enough, the wheels are showing some positive camber that’s not supposed to be there. Uh ohh, I’ve either exceeded the load capacity and/or gotten close enough to capacity that the casters are hammering the bottom something fierce when I drag this around (it’s gone down the street to a neighbors a few times). I went to pull it apart and what do I find? Problem was that in the new garage I really needed the tanks on the opposite side in order to have the welders facing the bench in the correct direction. Worked great for several years with no real messing with it. There’s also a bit of channel on one edge where I can toss scrap rods if I have partials after any given project. I also disabled the internal locking mechanism (normally you have to have the top open to open drawers) and riveted a bit of scrap around the edges to keep things from sliding off. ![]() The drawer also got cut up to make guides for the tank and to hold some spare welding rods. I cut down and used some of the spare material to built a shelf for hanging tanks on the end. It started at the 5-Drawer Roller from Harbor Freight Couldn’t find quite what I wanted off the shelf so I said screw it and went back to the Freight. I wanted a low slung cart with a few drawers so I could stash my two little welders on top with consumables inside and tanks off the back.
