I'm Looking To Build A Welding Cart

Northern Tool - Item# 152162, on sale now for $99
Why is it called "Northern" when there are no stores here in the north

It used to be called northern hydraulics, then it just went to northern as it grew. I believe, but not sure, that it started here in MN in the metro area. So it did start in the North.

Made a turntable for the cart. Used a swivel ball bearing plate, used for bar stools. $10 from a woodworkers supply. Think Lowes or HomeDepot has them also. Welded some angle iron for a support that slides over the top edges of the cart. Just the weight is enough to hold on, no fasteners. Using a wood 16 inch disk right now, want metal and was thinking of finding a car flywheel 16 inch to 24 inch in diameter. Pictures below, haven't cleaned up the welds or painted.

Looks handy. Good job. :thumbsup:

Brake disc flipped over might work nice too. Should be easier to find. The ones on my F250 are HUGE and could be a good source (3/4-1 ton trucks in general)

Want a flat surface, rotor has hole in middle? Going to check local steel supplier for a 1/4 or thicker disk first.
Thanks for the suggestion.
