Oh yea, the "mandatory" first cart project...

Great job

I just purchased the Miller 211 and an $89.00 cart from my local dealer. Your cart is an inspiration since I want to make a more substantial one myself. Can I trouble you for some dimensions? Great job.

Mike,
Very nice well thought out cart. The cover is just icing on the cake.

Thanks, Nick!

The cover was pretty quick and easy and gave me something constructive to do today.

I'm not much of sewer. I pretty much approach it like a job in the shop. I did the measurements and laid out the cuts like I was working with a piece of plywood - framing square and steel tape measure and all! Sewing machine's kind of like a little automatic nail gun. Clamps the parts together with pins, line up the stitching marks, and let 'er rip!

@USMCPop: Oh, you mean liquid cooled "weldors" not liquid cooled "welders"... LOL! Could also be well lubricated!

Nice job ....

Thanks!

Weather was pretty sucky today, but I can't just sit an' do nothing. Always stuff to make.

So, a couple of happy hours at my grandmother's 1904 Singer Model 66, and I made a cover for my welder:

Nothing too special, just a square feed sack...

Nice job ....

When it comes to a weldor, you can't beat liquid cooling.

Shameless design copy...

Very nice job, I too use the rustoleum blue for all my welding carts, I like your mig gun holder.

Thanks, PW! I can't take credit for the mig gun holder, though.

That was one of those many good ideas that I saw while surfing around looking at other carts. I wish I could give the builder credit, but I just stuck a picture of his holder in a folder on my computer with a lot of the other nice carts I liked.

When it came time to design my own cart, I shamelessly just copied that bit.

Thanks for the kind words, though.

Drink holder's optional...

Hey USMCPop, yea, total fail - no drink holder LOL!

When I took the cart into class last week, though, one of the other instructors walked through and the first thing he said when he saw this was...

"Cool, but wouldn't your drink holder be more convenient if it was up higher?"

Thanks for the welcome and the comments, guys!

Excellent ... but no beverage holder.

Pop

[USMCPOP]

Excellent ... but no beverage holder.

[H80N]

Nice work...

Gee looks like it might comfortably fit a Dynasty 280....

You could add another shelf for the cooler.... HHHmmmm...

Welcome Aboard....
