Made a cart for my new machines. It was all scrap I found by a dumpster. I wanted a cart that held both bottles and machines side by side.

What welding projects are you working on? Are you proud of something you built?
How about posting some pics so other welders can get some ideas?

I like it! I like the fact that you used expanded so your shelves don't become dust catchers. Nice work!

Nicely done! +1 on the expanded metal.
I'd been thinking about a side-by-side cart, and now seeing it done I think I'll go ahead and do it that way. Thanks for the inspiration.

And free metal. What a great cart.
A student now but really want to weld everyday. Want to learn everything about everything. Want to become a knower of all and master of none.

Hey the cart looks great.
Those baby bottles are going to get old in a hurry unless you dont weld very much,
they'll be empty all the time

At least the car doesn't have a deck over the bottle rack, so the owner can load up a larger bottle when or if he decides that the little one is better used as a backup, or just trades it in toward a larger capacity cylinder.
I have always kept my eyes open on the local CraigsList, and found a 250cf bottle for $100 from a welder who was selling off all of his equipment.
It barely cost more to fill it than it did to fill my 125cf, so definitely money ahead to have as big as you can manage to get, as long as you can handle the weight and size.
All that aside, the cart looks well built and functional. What more can you really ask for, especially when you are working with material that didn't cost you anything?

I just noticed the Harbor Freight FCAW machine on your shelf. You took a giant step up in quality.

There is a Crescent wrench on the black pelican case...is it a real Crescent?

Too funny, I always look at the background in photos too. And as long as we're bustin, I saw the boxes and whatnot piled up against the doors marked "Do not block".
Kidding, of course!
Nice looking cart!

Regardless of fridges, bins or various background objects, that is indeed a great cart and you get extra cool points for being resourceful enough to use scrap materials...yet still create a really decent result.
As others have mentioned though, those are tiny bottles. Perfect for portability but won't last long in regular use. I have finally settled on a bottle size that lasts me more than a couple months - it is so tall it comes up almost to my shoulder, and I am six feet two inches.
