Post up pics of your custom welding carts. Here's mine that I just finished. I still need to put a safety strap around the bottle and I also forgot to weld on some hooks to hold misc stuff like brushes, etc.

that looks nice!!!
the cart that came with my welder is USELESS, and this is definitely near the top of my list on welding projects.

Steve - nice work.
You are going to find (as I have on my TIG cart I made) that you're going to want bigger wheels. Those will get hung up on every little thing on the floor (ask me how I know)
What model Miller is that?

Isn't a welding cart the first project of anyone getting a welder?!
I agree you'll definately want bigger wheels, but still very nice setup Steve!

Well, it all started when I set out to clean up the garage a little. I looked over and saw the welder sitting there with the helmet on top of it and decided that in order to clean up the garage the helmet needed a place to be. So naturally, I had to make a welding cart. But of course, to make a welding cart I had to refurbish the old bench grinder I picked up from my dad.
So I did that.
But then I need a proper place for the bench grinder instead of it being bolted down to a piece of wood sitting on my desk. So this weekend's project is to build a proper work bench.
I still have to clean up the garage. It's a miller 180, so 220V.
I had the wheels laying around so I used them.

I didn't build mine but I modified it with bigger wheels like Mike was talking about since I end up dragging it around the yard more than welding in the shop. They were about $20 at Northern.

Real welders come with wheels already on them.
