For quite a while, when working on something while sitting on a roll around mechanics seat, I have wanted a small caddy or cart that is only two feet high to hold tools and/or parts. I have never been able to find any commercially made cart like this, so I decided to make my own. A couple of weeks ago when I was at the local Amish fab shop, I asked them to make me a couple of shelves, 16" square, 1" deep, out of 16 ga. steel, and weld up the corners. I picked them up Wednesday, and welded everything together. I had made four legs 24" long out of 1" square tubing, made 1" square plates with 8mm threaded holes in them to take a caster with a threaded stud, and welded one to the end of each leg. I wiped it down with lacquer thinner and painted it Kubota orange. After it dried, I installed the casters, some 1" plastic caps in the tops of the legs and some tool box drawer liner in each shelf. I think it's really going to come in handy when doing brake jobs or other tasks.

What do you think?
