Thread: Poor Mans Welding Kart

  1. #1

    Poor Mans Welding Kart

    Well the Creeper was good for a day and all..So here's my solution, Nothing special, And its a work in progress..

    The other day I picked up some 1x2x3/16ths and some 1/4 angle iron just to practice my beads on..
    Then I got the Idea to make a welding cart with it...
    Heres what im starting with...

    Got the main body welded up, my camera sucks and I forgot how much I love welding weird angles.. So no bead pron







    Thats it for tonight.

    tomorrow Ill have the some angle iron on the sides so its more secure

    I need more rectangle stock, And some thinner angle iron, not to mention some thin stuff for a shelf under this thing..

    Im thinking itll have 16" legs. Other then that im going with the flow..


    Let the comments fly peeps.

    Where are the wierd angles? Are you welding in the garage? For the sake of all those involved you may want to move out to the driveway.

    haha, Im guessing you 2 dont like...
    lolz.


    Yes, Flux cored, it came with it so its what im using for now, I know I know, LOTS OF SLAG.

    As for the WEIRD angles, Well they arent so much weird, just angles, and they are on the underside on the front mian tube that connects to the 2 tubes going back

    We need closeups of your welds so we can nitpick some more...

    Your nozzle angle is wrong and the settings are wrong. I have seen many beautiful welds from that machine. Keep up on the practice.

    can't call it a "cart" without wheels. get some cheapo casters from HF and get it rolling. to get a better weld, clean the work piece well first, grind off the iron-oxide first no matter how good a welder you are. don't be shy with a hand wire brush, clean the flux residue after evey pass.

    there should be a cheat sheet inside inside the flip door, read it, it couldn't be any easier.

    Close off the open ends and grind down all the welds and it'll look a lot better.
