from shopping cart to welding cart

[Tony Raine]

found an old shopping cart (the crappy ones that are mostly plastic), cut it up, and welded it into something useful.

this is after about an hour of playing around

next step is places to wrap all the wires

door still opens, secured from sliding on 2 sides (back, and other side).

gonna make something to hold it in the front, then a strap over the top, which will also secure the side with the door.


I'm finally getting welds that are holding. for this project, i turned the heat all the way up, wire speed to 7 out of 10, and just kept throwing it on.

Umm...............

Is that a flux-core or stick welder?

If it's a mig, where ya gonna put the bottle???

 

[Tony Raine]

flux core. haven't converted yet. there's enough room at the back to weld on a few hoops to hold a small bottle when i get the $$$.

I did something very similar with a shopping cart. Works really well especially since it was free!!!!
