I want an old overhead projector cart. those things are beef.
add dedicated storage, so everything is out of the way all the time and not cluttering up the top tray like mine.

Put a 4 way 110v plug on it and wire it to the welder lead so you can just plug your grinders and such in right there. You more than likely will not be using the welder and the grinders at the same time anyways.

Pneumatic swilvel tires so that it can go'off-road' around the driveway if needed.

I have a long lead on my welder right now and have thought about using it to wire the plugs on the cart, then just put the old cord back on and have a 220v plug on it too so the welder could be transported if necessary.

I wouldn't do that ed, its too bulky if ya have a plug right there at the welder. That lead is perfect. And since i put that hanger on there, its not as bad.

What's too bulky? I am talking about the power cord, not the welding lead.

thats what i am talking about. I hate those with the plug right at the welder with the extension cord box at the end. You have it set up just right

his machine should already have 2 110 outlets on the front, but a good idea non the less
