Nice

Will it be red or green?

No !!, tired of Red, Tired of Green !!, ha,ha. This will be black and stainless steel with chrome trim. I just finished painting the dolly for the 54" plow. It rolls around great. I kept the footprint less than the plow. I used more recycled metal and wheels from the tables.

That grill cart looks like it has a hand brake.

Don't give him any ideas :laughing:. Chrome hub caps maybe. Waldon, I'm always reading to see what you're doing next. :thumbsup:

Thanks , No need for a handbrake, ha,ha. Today I bought a cheap toolbox to support the flat grill. You can also see the new 15" tall tires and mag wheel covers I will use on this project.
The Acorn smoker will be mounted on the left side of the gas grill. Everything will sit on a low profile frame all attached together. The drawers will hold all utensils and campfire lighters, fire starters, wood chips, etc. I always wanted to tweak a bbq grill. This should be pretty cool when done.:cool2:

All of these carts are so useful and cool looking, well done. As I was browsing through I was waiting for you to say you had decided to make a cart for your hydraulic lift, so you can work on tractors outside on a sunny day.

I like the idea for the BBQ cart. You may not want to customize it to be too tightly designed for that BBQ, since if you are anything like me a BBQ usually doesn't last more than about 5 years before it rusts away on the inside and out. Of course modifying the cart to fit the next one you get may just be another fun job for you anyway. :thumbsup:

Thanks for the kind words, yes in 5 years I'll be ready to tweak it again, ha,ha. 21 degrees this morning but still headed out to the shop. My 110,000 BTU space heater runs just 5 minutes every 30 minutes to keep the chill out. The small space and low ceiling and plenty of insulation makes it pretty cozy. I dress warm and keep moving and it is perfect working conditions. I got the axles made and the main frame started. Normally I don't go out to the shop if it is below 10 degrees. But these projects have been such fun.

I thought I would share my 40 year old grill , the base rusted out and I tweaked it . It was working great for grilling and a ride on toy until I hit it with the loader bucket under the snow. I also tweaked the old portable air compressor, doubling as a ride on toy Deb had fun pulling me and my grandson around :drink:

Tri-Axle BBQ Grill Cart progress today - I worked on the rear of the frame and built a shelf for a extra 30lb LP tank, a bag of charcoal and a fire starter can. I also built the first fender. Tomorrow I will move to the front of the frame and start the steering and the design to mount the Komado Grill .:drink:
