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!
