Been wanting a cart to store sheets of steel, and also get to with ease. Made it out 2" boiler tube and some 1/8 plate I had laying about. The wheels were also salvaged from the scrape bin, a piece of equipment was beening thrown out so I took the wheels from it.
The tubing was mitercut with the evolution saw "works good but hard to get the round miter cuts lined up for the perfect fit" also hard to get exact length". The sheet was with the slugger circ saw , fresh evolution blade was used since I tortured tested the original with half inch plate bevels. Saw works cool, straight cuts , no dust, no sparks. Chalk line work good to snap lines across the sheet try the blue powder level four.
Welded up the tubing with 6011 3/32 just because a had some. 85 Amp was too hot but did the job , honestly this was a hack job, but I'm happy it's done, it holding a ton of steel I had tucked away and I can easily roll it out now. For what it is it works fine 💪 .

Nice Introduction, when I was first learning how to weld in school I always thought it would be cool to weld on a pipe line somewhere in Alaska. Today I still think it's pretty cool but just a pipe dream. Lol. I've also taken some machine shop classes that were specific to conventional machining like lathes and mills. I think your right about the youth not venturing into the trades, and I hope your time on this program hits a lot youths. Keep up the good work guys.

My buddy wrapped his 76 chevy around something on the road and ask if I could cut off the front end. I said cutting off the front end was no problem, aligning it back was a whole another story. Anyways after I had him pull as much parts out of the way, I was able to square off some lines, then useing an oxy-acetylene torch to chop off the front end. Preped all mating edges and tacked in a used front end from another truck. Frist try we found the door panels rubbed, so we Broke tacs off and trimmed mating end back 3/8 at a tapper a got better fit, er I think, its the first time lining up a car frame so I'm pretty happy with it.

Hello Dennis, nice to meet you and, would love to hear more about planning work for you and others, take care and be safe. Boiler work can be tough.

Cool pictures, super useful, my wps is asking for 1/2 vee groove with a open root GMAW AND DUAL SHIELD fill and cap, both 3g and 5g . I believe the wps has not been qualified yet, I'm planning on tackling in with .035 since I have about 30 lbs of it.

Good luck with your CWI , I PLAN ON TACKLING THAT LATER. LOL
