How to Make a Welding Cart

Description:

Last Christmas I received a welder from my Grandma and Grandpa Devine, but I was debating on buying a cart or making a cart for it. I decided to make a cart for it because it was not only a cheaper option, but it allows me to customize it to fit all my welding gear. For this project I used 2 sheets of 2’x4′ plywood that is 3/4″ thick. This will set you back about $20.00 and the wheels will set you back another $15.00. In order to make this project, you will want to download the 3D SketchUp file to see all of the measurements. Once you have the measurements, transfer them onto your two side pieces and that will allow you to cut out the side profile. After that, I cut out the back piece, the two shelves, and the front strips for the cart. I screwed everything together with 1 5/8″ screws and added casters to the bottom. This cart will allow me to roll my welder around the shop with ease and allows me to store everything in one spot when it’s not in use.
