How to Make a Welding Cart - DIY Build
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 лют 2025
- This project is inspired by several designs and ideas already existing here in UA-cam by the professional welding guys like homesteadonomics, Made in Poland, Making Stuff and Jimbo's Garage.
I was in a great need of a welding cart to move around my super heavy Powerhouse MIGWELD-200 MINI flux core welding machine and since it only has a couple of meters of welding cable. So the only solution is to build an awesome welding trolley, so let's do it baby!
All steel stocks are scrap metal bought per kilo by the cheap. Primary material is a 1"x1" steel angle bar 2.5mm thick. Purchased a pair of shopping cart and small casters wheels. Some scrap 1/2" plywood used as platform. Painted the whole thing with some red-oxide metal primer then a super gloss black enamel as top coat. Then painted the solid steel handles yellow.
By the way, if you need the link to the 3D schematics, then there you go www.tinkercad.... You need to create an account and login to TinkerCad so you can start using it and seeing the dimensions. Use laptop or computer web browser to open TinkerCad.
I'm so happy how this small welding project turned out and I'm excited to for the next welding project. This trolley will be carrying my main welding machine which is the gasless MIG, and the compact stick welding machine. Also will be carrying all the angle grinders, steel brush, chipping hammer, and the top shelf will be for my welding helmet. I'll be pushing and dragging this welding cart along and around the house for any welding projects soon, big or small. Thank you for watching and I hope to see you soon in the next video upload. Cheers from the Philippines!
Dude. That’s a beautiful piece. You are an artist.
Thank you
Yours is FAR better than any HF cart. Yours is well done and will last decades. The "traditional" welding cart design -- especially those with thin gage metal and tilted top -- are iffy at best.
😎🤘
Good and simple .Most carts are completely Overkill👌
😁
Really appreciate the video … after Christmas, I’ll be building a similar one.
thanks. yes go ahead it is fun and rewarding
Nice work boss. Sarap mag welding gamit flux core welding.
Thanks. Yes that is true. 🤘😁
A great cart, you have started DIY welding projects.
Thanks for the compliment. Yes I like welding stuff.
keep the spirit and always take care of your health and continue working. your videos are very helpful. I have succeeded in making speaker monitor recording because I have watched your video. greetings in Indonesia
Will do. Thanks very much for the awesome feedback, Anjar.
For checking for square all you have to do is measure corner to corner . If both measurements are the same it’s square . Great job by the way 👍
Thanks for that!
Nicely done. Not overly bulky and heavy like some YT projects. I don't think most people realise just how much can be done with a cut-off disc on an angle grinder and careful marking out. Also a good demo of how messy flux-core is! What was your reason for switching to stick for a couple of welds?
thanks 2bfrank. i was an actually a beginner on welding. i feel comfortable using fluxcore mig than the stick. until now i still prefer using the fluxcore. yes it is really messy like a bird on a wire. 😂😂
Great job that is exactly what I was looking for thank you very much for the video
😄
@@chrclmnky yes I see a lot of diy welding carts square tubing this and that but I have a harbor freight flux core welder and I just need something small and simple and thank you
And I'm going to use bed frame
@@ifarted2656 The cheapest steel I can get is the scrap angle bars. :) Enjoy welding and let me know how your welding cart turns out.
Muito bom seus videos sou do Brasil e gosto muito do seu canal ótimo trabalho..
Thank you so much for the kind feedback, Izael. Cheers from the Philippines, sir!
Tidy, good job bro
Many thanks. 📐🔨😎🥳
Nice concept but I think it might need a support piece across the back for ur Mig plant and ur small plant needs some sort of tie down like a square saddle diy.
Yes tnx for the tip.
Ayos ha ganda ang gawa m sir!
Thanks very much sir.
Are you a carpenter or a welder?, your ways of doing things look professional.
Hello Aliyu, how you doing brother. I'm a full-stack web developer and I do this UA-cam stuff as a sort of a hobby. Cheers! 😊
@@chrclmnky In that case nothing can stop me from doing this, i'm also a web developer but seriously i developed interest in doing stuffs like this. Thanks
@@imamaliyu Yes sir. Good luck and enjoy building projects.
Nice 👍
Tnx
nice video, hows the powerhouse mig performance? will you recommend it for small welding project? thanks
Many thanks. The machine can be used for small or big welding projects just fine.
Another good one is the century fc90. It’s cheap and works great for diy or farm type work.
Nice diy cart idol. Matanong ko lng kung ano yang nasa baba idol na kulay pula at pra san yan?
Thanks sir. Yung kulay orange/pula? Portable stick welding po yan sir. 😎
Great
What about size for the three shelves please
I measured my welding machine to fit into one of the shelves.
Cool ha....pre ok ba gamitin yong mig power h.... mtgal ba masira ? Prng ok sya sa mga spot spot lalo na sa tubular ,kya lang malakas yong flux nia...need mo tlga mag gloves ,blak ko sna bumili ng mig..
Mas ok flus core keysa stick. Swabeng swabe sa stocks manipis man o makapal.
Ayos brader
Salamat Haro.
nice ..
Thanks Durgesh.
Ok
ayos sir ah ganda ng cart nyo and ganda rin ng mig. isa rin akong d.i.yer sir. nakulayan ko na bahay nyo. sana makulayan nyo rin bahay ko. salamat.
👍
Good design because square tubing as are over design for 100ppunds stuff
Yes correct thanks
Ang galing mo idol. Pa share naman ng mga measurements.
Many thanks brother. Measurements are just basic and near dimensions to the main welding machine.
Ok idol, I got it. It's good thing na I have watched your vid. Ung iba kasi puro tubular ang ginagamit, eh ung dito sa atin ang ninipis, so I thought na baka hindi siya efficient. Therefore, I ended up buying few angle bars for this project. I hope I can make it as perfectly as yours since I am new to this welding hobby. Thanks a lot.
@@josewalbertramos1323 if your welding machine a flux core like this then you can weld thin tubular square bars. Kindly see my other video building a work bench.
Where to buy that red wheel?
Online marketplace 🥰
Boss san nabibili ung tip cover mo ng mig gun...pamalit dun sa gas tip cover
sa eBay sir.
@@chrclmnky thnks
boss hindi ka ba nagkakaproblema sa slag coverage sa flux cored? anong brand ng wire gamit mo?
Wala masyadong slag kagaya ng stick. Ang spatter yung problema. Todo linis matapos mag weld. Same brand ang .9mm flux core wire.
pasensya na po sir tanung ku po ano po pwdi gamitin sa migweld 200mini para sa stainless fluxcore ? pwdi po ba stainless ito kagaya nang sayu migwelding machine sir thank you
Meron stainless flux core wire nabibili mga sobra isang libo per 250gram roll. Yun ginagamit pang stainless food processors.
thank you
Ano po yun brang nun stick welding nyo? Ano po ba maganda brand na matibay? Ilang amp din po.
All are generic Chinese made just being rebranded to the local market.
@@chrclmnky ano po brand marerecomend nyo yun subok nyo na. Thanks po
@@arnoldmagadia905 same lang lahat.
ano gamit mong settings na amp at wire speed sa angle bar sir?
Wire speed = slowest
Amp = depends on stock thickness
This particular angle bar = 180-200 amps
@@chrclmnky thank you :)
saan puwedi po outlet lagay ito powerhouse bumili po aku kasi sir puwedi po ba sa ordinary outlet ito sir? thank u
Yes sir, any 220v outlet.
pasensya na poh sir bago lang po aku sa magwelding dito po sa migwelding ku poh ....hindi po ba masusunod mga outlet kahit ano outlet ordinary po sir? ilang watts po ba ito migwelding na nabili ku kagaya po nang sayu ....pasensya bago lang po kasi aku thank u
sir saan mo nabili ung mga gulong na nilagay mo
Lazada po
Thx u Good job bro
☺️😎
Paps, alin maganda gamitin yung Arc welding or MIG?
Mig po sir. Swabe sa kahit and anong stock, manipis man o makapal.
@@chrclmnky gasless ba yang mig mo boss?thanks
@@jojopatino2042 yes. Gasless flux core
JuSt 4 You boss mas maganda ang "MIG" kc malinis walang spatter at walang flux... yung MIG ibig sabihin METAL INERT GAS. may gas shielding po... Yung gamit nya similar lang yan sa stick welding kaya hindi cya totally MIG. Under parin cya sa FCAW flux cored arc weldin..
@@edgardoDesiderio yes correct
Welding on a wood worktop???
@@fotoagogo why not?
I was trippin too but never seen anything burn. Im gonna try it.
สวยมากครับ เดี๋ยวผมขอทำตามเลยครับ
Many thanks.
anung model ng MIG welding machine mo sir
Powerhouse MIGWELD-200 MINI flux core
👌👌❤❤🙏🏻🙏🏻
pwd po mahingi ang measurements boss
Sure. There is a link to the TinkerCad 3D schematics in the video description. You need to create and login to TinkerCad so you can start using it and seeing the dimensions. Use laptop or computer web browser to open TinkerCad.
@@chrclmnky Hi, cant find the link, can u add it in a comment?
@@danielbichokov1340 sorry i forgot to put the link in the video description. I'll comment the link later. Thanks for reminding.

Enjoy! :)
Its must faster and cheaper to get a harbor freight cart.
No harber fright around here.
Some of us actually enjoy making our own tools, instead of buying a garbage one.
aloha......
