Another Welder Cart

Have you seen any cheap prices on 4" casters. Harbor freight seems to have them all beat, but quite a ways to drive for me.

After looking at these awesome carts I went to TSC for materials for my own. I just wanted to mention, that Tractor Supply has a sale on 8", and 13 " rubber wheels/tires. $5.00, and $8.00, till Feb 3rd. The two stores near me both had the same sale. Even if you're like me, and scavenge for your steel,and other useful parts, it is hard to find these bigger inflatable tires in the junk heap. I am going back today for more, just to have them....hmmm Gage wheels for my York rake? PS, the wheels even came with the bearings.:thumbsup:

those are great deals. better grab them if you see them. i went before christmas in looking for the ones that they usually have on sale, and the shelf was empty. the guy punched them in and they were backordered to every store in the state at the time. i guess when they go on sale people buy them in volume and stock up for future projects.

i do too. i found that i keep ending up with more and more stacked up, so now i just pick one and go for it. after the essentials are done, work on that one project till it's finished. otherwise they all seem to end up in some half-finished state.

cable hangers. what did you make them out of and do others make different types. seems to be a never ending nusiance for me. something else to trip over.

I'd just make them out of flat bar and bend them into a L shape. Or, on my table, cut a piece of flat bar, and cut two 1 inch long blocks out of square tubing and welded them in to provide the center to wrap the cables around. I've seen a fair amount of old car rims as well.
