pulled this old heavy duty tv stand from one of the conference rooms in my building. It sat on the dock for a few months off to the side. The other day it was in front of the overhead that opens to the dumpster which thankfully was full. I thought, hmm if it wasnt so wide it would make a sweet welding cart!!
Took it home, loped it in half, literally. it was twice as wide, and put it back together. I left most of the sheet metal on the decks to overlap and give it some extra strength. had to cut off the castors and swap a few of them, made a custom little door latch, and a rugged bottle holder for the back. Some black commercial carpet and some brackets and hangers finished off the project. I can pack all my welding accesories in the botom cabinet. I think it came out sweet. It will tidy up the area nicely, and free up some nice space!

:lol:funny stuff Brian! thanks pal! Just the way my mind works. I had been wanting to build a welding cart for a long time, just one of those things I never got too. This was much easier, and kept something out of the land fill lol.

very nice!! why buy when you can build? my wife is always yelling at me for bringing home stuff that I can use in the garage! all's it takes is a need and a little imagination and you can have anything you want!
