    Building a TIG cart

    The drawers are now mounted and the paint is drying. All that is left is to mount the 25' extension cord and couple hose hangers. Drawers installed prior to paint Drawers are 18" deep on 22" full extension slides so the back of the top drawer clears the handle.

    Building a TIG cart

    A question for anyone that has welded up thin sheet metal to form a box: I had the drawer parts done on a cnc plasma setup but since I don't have a brake I had sides and bottoms cut as separate pieces with the intent to weld them up into drawers. I had the parts cut to align inside corner to...

    Building a TIG cart

    Here is a step I wish I had photographed because it's really important to fab. work. ( I may go back and mock it up for pictures) I welded the legs, 32" pieces of 1x1, to the bottom of the top frame. To do this, I used Harbor Freight welding magnets to free my hands up. The magnets are by no...
